Coolants & Lubrication Systems

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.
