“Sustainability Project Cuts Costs for Growing Manufacturer” Modern Machine Shop
A custom coolant and chip management system has helped Youngers and Sons lower its supply costs, improve its recycling margins and maintain a clean shop floor.
Sustainable manufacturing is profitable manufacturing. Youngers and Sons, a Wichita, Kansas-based manufacturing company serving the oil and gas, argriculture, and heavy equipment industries, has found this to be true as it has expanded. In particular, its efforts toward reducing coolant waste and improving the value of its recycled chips through a custom PRAB coolant management system have borne fruit. The system has helped Youngers and Sons succeed on both objectives, while also eliminating tedious manual coolant management tasks and creating a safer work environment.
