💡 VENTEN: pH/conductivity sensors detect concentration drift ±0.5% — prevents €300–800 premature sump dump.
Sump life: 6–12 months with monitoring · Biocide: Not needed
CIMPERIAL 1011
Soluble oil (mineral) · Heavy-duty
5–10% · pH 9.0–9.5
Mineral oil-based soluble for heavy steel and cast iron turning and milling. Highest bacterial growth risk of the range — VENTEN delivers the highest ROI here.

⚠ VENTEN critical: conductivity monitoring catches concentration swings >2% — causes tool wear and skin irritation.
Sump life: 3–6 months · Biocide: Required — per REACH
CIMCOOL 5050
Synthetic (oil-free) · Aluminium & grinding
3–6% · pH 8.5–9.0
Oil-free synthetic for aluminium machining, grinding and light-duty work. Best stability in the CIMCOOL range — sump life up to 2 years.

✓ VENTEN extends the already long sump life further — ensures full 18–24 month use before costly disposal.
Sump life: 12–24 months · Biocide: Not needed
CIMSTAR 60
Semi-synthetic · Grinding specialist
3–5% · pH 8.8–9.3
Specialist grinding fluid for cylindrical, surface and centreless grinders. Fine swarf makes refractometer readings unreliable — VENTEN sensor gives more accurate real-time data.

ROCOL Metalworking Fluids
ROCOL ULTRACUT 370
Semi-synthetic · Multi-metal
5–8% · pH 9.0–9.5
Versatile semi-synthetic for multi-metal applications. Excellent corrosion protection on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Commonly used in mixed-material CNC environments.

💡 VENTEN pH monitoring critical for mixed-metal work — aluminium and steel require different pH windows, drift causes staining.
Sump life: 6–10 months · Biocide: Sometimes
ROCOL ULTRACUT 380
Soluble oil · Heavy-duty steel
6–10% · pH 9.0–9.6
Heavy-duty soluble oil for demanding steel machining. High oil content provides excellent lubrication and tool life. Higher tramp oil sensitivity requires closer monitoring.

Calculator assumptions: Coolant savings based on eliminating premature sump dumps, over-dosing with biocide, and concentration drift — per HSE, NIOSH, and REACH metalworking fluid benchmarks. Stoppage reduction from continuous pH/concentration monitoring catching bacterial growth and tramp oil contamination before they cause downtime. Labor savings from automated sensor alerts replacing manual refractometer rounds and paper logs. CO₂ factors from EU metalworking fluid lifecycle assessments (~2.4 kg CO₂/kg fluid). Individual results vary by machine type, coolant chemistry, and water quality. Contact us for a tailored CNC shop assessment.
