Coolants & Lubrication Systems

The right filtration system in a tool grinding operation is an important part of the value chain and a prerequisite for high quality and uninterrupted production. Fine filtration systems developed by Vomat Inc., distributed by oelheld U.S. Inc., grow thanks to the availability of a variety of add-on modules to individually configure and tailor systems.

The American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH), Lansing, Mich., issued a reminder to workers and industry of the potential for exposure to microbial pathogens in metalworking fluids following a story in the Belfast Telegraph about metalworkers at a local shipyard who were diagnosed with pneumococcal disease. The workers are believed to have been exposed to aerosols containing the bacteria.

AirForge 4500 from oelheld U.S. Inc. is a capable die lubricant with reportedly excellent separation and lubricating properties.

Unist Inc. has expanded its line of MQL lubricants with a new oil specifically formulated for use with aluminum.

Flow Pro Products' high strength rare earth magnetic filters deliver high performance filtration levels for minimally ferrous materials such as high speed steels, tool steels and carbides, and final metalworking processes for close tolerance component manufacturing.

Comat Technologies Inc. introduces the 1F14US-15 to the USA.

Cimcool announces the release of CIMPERIAL 861 With InSol Technology, a hybrid lubricity, semisynthetic metalworking fluid, which received approval under Boeing BAC5008 RevU.

A method of lubricating and cooling a machined workpiece using supercritical CO2.

PRAB's Candle Filter is specifically engineered to meet the challenges of effectively removing fine particulate from spent oil in Honing and EDM machining applications and Tungsten carbide tool and steel ball grinding applications.

Recently, PRAB has added fully automatic centrifuges, which means there is little to no maintenance associated with cleaning the centrifuge.

In tool grinding, the cost of cooling lubricants is generally higher than the cost of grinding wheels. Therefore, cooling lubricants offer considerable potential to reduce production costs. To capitalize on this potential, the manufacturer needs not only quality grinding oils but also capable fine filtration equipment from Vomat, which is distributed by oelheld U.S. Inc.

Solids-from-Liquid Centrifuges from Eriez HydroFlow provide continuous media-free filtration of both metallic and non-metallic solids from industrial fluids.
