Optimization lubrication
Optimizing lubrication, particularly through minimum quantity lubrication, is a well-established approach to reducing manufacturing costs, improving the working environment and reducing environmental impact. The monitoring and, if necessary, recycling of lubricants plays a key role.
With non-water-mixed cooling lubricants (KSS), such as oils, the focus is on the local lubrication of the input product as well as an improved return of discharge losses caused by workpieces or offcuts.
If the production-related material waste is in the form of chips or abrasive particles, briquetting this material waste under high pressure (up to 3000 bar) can recover significant amounts of lubricant. This not only reduces the need for new lubricant, but also helps minimize environmental impact and reduce costs.
