FluidXchange, is a business division of Dunn & Bybee Tool Company. We have been producing heavy-duty coolant service tools and accessories for the trucking, bus, van, and Metropolitan Transit Systems for over 22 years. We design, manufacture, and market our tools from our facility located in Middle Tennessee. We are an ISO-9001 registered manufacturer and have a range of robust tools and accessories to fit the needs of any heavy-duty service center. We have worked directly with major OEM’s like Volvo, Cummins, and Freightliner, and many large fleets to develop and test a coolant service tool that will meet OEM coolant service requirements, improve shop efficiencies, protect employees and the environment, and help maintain a clean work facility.
What are the main benefits of using the FluidXchange coolant service tool?
-
- Faster coolant drops and engine repairs.
- Eliminate trapped air in the cooling system, which reduces EGR (and other engine) component failures.
- The tool has both vacuum and pressure test capabilities, eliminating other needed tools.
- Closed loop system with the use of Q/D Fittings which are becoming the industry standard of H/D vehicle OEM’s.
- If not already installed, most tractors can be easily converted to Q/D Fittings.
- The tool is very easy to use and can be operated by minimal controls.
- The tool is designed & manufactured to withstand the harsh rigors of H/D service centers.
Major Cost Savings & Return on Investment:
-
- Time savings (on full coolant drops or eliminate full coolant drops, by use of vacuum to interchange some engine components, sensors, hose clamps, or top part of the engine work)
- Reduced labor costs (examples of saving 1/2 the time vs previous drain & fill method)
- Reduced coolant costs (examples of saving 1 gal/coolant drop)
- More shop thru-put
There have been a number of cost studies to evaluate the overall cost savings by using the coolant service tool. Examples of these studies are available and can be “tweaked” to individual fleets’ current specific labor and material costs.
Additional Benefits:
-
- Employee safety (chemical exposure, hot coolant, & falls)
- Shop cleanliness (employee efficiency, spills, slick floors, drainage/containment, housekeeping, employee safety)
- Environmental (reuse coolant, eliminate spills into the drainage system, regulatory fines)
- Incorporation into corp work procedures (step by step)
- Employees like using the Tool
There are a number of other benefits that impact the overall operating costs and efficiencies of vehicle service centers. These benefits become more inherently beneficial if Locations have had problems in these areas or have major initiatives in these areas. In any case, improvement in all of these areas of operation will benefit the service location.
