ok i can not finding how to add coolant or check it for the spindle its a old vmc40,1986 ive followed the to hoses from the pump/radiator box on the right bottom all the way to the top of the spindle and out the bottom and back its tottley closed??? isn't there sopost to be a coolent bottle?? and no in not confusing this with the flood coolant system. chips i know your mech is about the same year any idea??
There is supposed to be a square, white container under the cooler. That should be about 3/4 full of Dow Frost, Pull it out and fill it up.
there is no contaner ?? i droped the whole unit to see if it was inside?? there a little pump and a radiator and a line in and out right up to the spindle
The pump and chiller is located behind the machine on the side where the waylube pump is. The container for the Dow Frost is supposed to be right under the cooler.
What year and model do you have?
Here is the container for the spindle Chiller
File attached.
My sheetmetal is off being sand blasted and the powder coated.. All for $650.. What adeal.. Let me know if there is something more that you might need..
thats your flood coolent pump
You beat me to it. Looks like we're playing online tag in the Fadal forum.
if your looking strait at the mech an the right hand side on the bottom of the sheet metal is a box with a radiator facing down theres a small pump in there too, it thats your pump for the spindle maybe it was modifyed??
Ok, you had the model and year in the 1st post. I'm not sure about that machine. Go to Fadal's website and you can download their machine documentation.
nothing wrong with a little fadal tag
ow i tryed theres no manuls older then 91 on there
Honest guys thats my Spindle chiller pump.. It attaches to the right side of the machine.. I also have another pump for the Coolant..
i belive ya i see the little 3/8 lines coming off it
mine look pretty factory installed i just think im missing a contaner
Here are both pumps..
Do the lines go directly into the spindle jacket? A good source for info would be Neal. He is from Fadal and could tell you exactly what you need to know. Send him a PM.
yep they go stright to the spindle jacket, whats neals pm
Not trying to hijack, but does anyone have a source for Dowtherm 4000 in less than 55 Gal. quantities?
