Metals
Flat Rolled Products
CRS brings to the table a proven, on-site service offering that increases the quality and recovery of coolants for hot and cold metal rolling operations and directly impacts a company’s bottom line. With over three decades of experience developing advanced reprocessing solutions, we have created innovative distillation and proprietary filtration offerings to optimize the coolant treatment process for a variety of metals including aluminum, stainless steel, and other rolled metals.
Aluminum rolling oil recycling was our initial foray into this service in 1984 with the largest US global manufacturer. Based on its quality of service, value proposition and continuous process improvements CRS has captured the bulk of the aluminum rolling oil recycling mills in the US.
Rolling oil distillation has been an effective service in replacing stack filter systems due to better end product quality, sustainability factors and cost savings. Given our ability to compliment rolling oil distillation with the CRS TUF membrane filtration, we can effectively work with large volume ranges and different compositions of used rolling fluids.
With CRS, you have reprocessing experts with extensive experience efficiently and effectively managing the fluid recycling process that delivers highly consistent results. In this way, our customers aren’t preoccupied with maintenance issues associated with a do-it-yourself program. CRS provides a service-based solution. with a turnkey approach that allows companies to focus on their core business.

Proven Process
CRS has been in the business of distilling and separating commingled materials for over 30 years. During that time we have perfected the process and achieved high levels of competency to the benefit of our many customers around the world. Having developed and employed a number of filtration and distillation technologies, we have a track record of establishing the best solution for each customer’s needs.
Our solutions have been installed for numerous rolling mills and custom applications, and currently handle volumes ranging from a minimum of 1 gallon (3.8 liters) per minute to several thousand gallons per minute. Designed to scale up on a modular basis, CRS solutions can meet current demands as well as expanded needs in the future. To ensure the reprocessing delivers optimal ROI, CRS employs lab analysis, pilot tests and case history review during the fluid’s technical qualification stage. In the end, our proven process results in better quality operational fluids and rolling oils to maximize reuse and provide the highest quality recycled fluids to deliver significant cost savings.

Quality Control + Testing
The importance of quality control cannot be overestimated. Its impact on production, and the bottom line, is substantial. CRS maintains the highest quality standards through detailed analysis and reporting conducted by our on-site technicians. Our support is further enhanced by 24/7 remote monitoring via links to our U.S. headquarters as well as our two off-site laboratories. These laboratories are staffed with full-time chemists who are also available for immediate response and monitoring to ensure optimal reprocessing.
Because the entire CRS reprocessing cycle is a closed loop that remains on site, outside contaminants cannot enter the process stream. Finally, CRS laboratories are equipped with some of the most sophisticated instruments available to analyze a wide variety of materials for our customers.
Our Advantage
With CRS, we’re experienced in handling the entire process of reprocessing industrial lubricants. Our design experience gives us insight into working within space constraints, and has led to the development of compact units to provide the best option from all perspectives. A complete lab facility provides detailed analysis and extensive quality control, and our on-site operating technicians ensure prompt, accurate results.
Because of our experience and our technology, customers enjoy a higher quality of recycled lubricants. Reusing large amounts of these fluids not only reduces costs, it also minimizes waste.
