Automation Technologies to Transform Fluid Management

Process-fluid provider Quaker Houghton, Conshohocken, PA, has launched new hardware options within its QH Fluid Intelligence platform, expanding its portfolio of automated fluid-management solutions. The new QH FluidControl XMS 100 and XMS 200 systems deliver automated monitoring and control of fluid parameters that exceeds the capabilities of traditional hardware, say company officials, while the QH FluidMonitor GQ provides precision monitoring for demanding grinding applications.

QH FluidControl XMS 200 utilizes advanced spectroscopy-based sensor technology to measure direct carbon content of water-dilutable fluids, and also offers a new indicator of fluid health, important for predicting when a fluid is nearing its useful life. QH FluidControl XMS 100 delivers similar continuous, automated monitoring and control capabilities using traditional sensor technology. Both units prove ideal for operations with centralized or non-centralized, multi-sump fluid systems, promising to eliminate the need for manual sampling and laboratory analysis, thus improving labor efficiency and reducing EHS risks.  

QH FluidMonitor GQ introduces a durable 3-in-1 sensor engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of grinding applications utilizing fast-flowing, abrasive media. When used in conjunction with QH Grindaix Nozzles, the system ensures precise coolant delivery at exactly the right time, speed and quantity, minimizing fluid consumption and waste while reducing maintenance requirements.

All three setups integrate seamlessly with QH FluidTrend software, providing metal formers with real-time data and alerts, analytics and actionable insights.
