TerraCoolant Exchange Machine

Randstad Ltd has launched a new TerraCoolant Exchange Machine into the UK automotive aftermarket, which quickly flushes and refills a vehicle’s cooling system.

As coolant becomes contaminated, it deteriorates and its additive package depletes. Scale and rust can form in the cooling system, which dramatically decreases the system’s ability to draw heat away from the engine. Old coolant also loses its ability to prevent corrosion.
