The Challenge: Inefficient, Time-Consuming Fluid Removal

At Nordon Cylinders, a busy local hydraulic cylinder manufacturer in Brisbane, the team faced a persistent and disruptive challenge. Across their workshop they have range of CNC machines, hydraulic test rigs, and specialised tooling equipment. The service technicians were routinely required to remove used coolant and oil - every two to three days. This was being done manually using hand pumps, which were slow, physically demanding, and often unreliable - frequently requiring repeated winding and causing unnecessary delays and frustration.
