Coolant free machining: the revolutionary solution offered by Unist Australia. We bring you this system that was developed by Unist in the Unites States in response to the alternative messy and expensive traditional flood cooling systems.
Instead of flooding the process with lubricant – that creates an oil fog which is a health hazard, the Unist coolant free machining system uses positive displacement pumps which delivers a precise amount of lubricant to the cutting interface. This reduces the friction and thereby avoids the heat that is generally produced which would then be cooled by the traditional flooding method.
Because there is such a small amount of lubricant being applied under a low pressure, it only lubricates the area that needs it. This minimum quantity lubricant (MQL) or near-dry machining (NDM) system eliminates the need for time consuming production steps such as coolant testing, filtering, treatment and disposal.
In addition, the use of Coolube™ lubricating products are non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-drying and non-staining. Coolube products are also biodegradable, so any mess is very easy to clean. Furthermore Coolube does not oxidize or polymerize, in other words become sticky after use.
Coolube is suitable for all kinds of materials both Ferrous and non Ferrous. Coolube 2210 will yield the lowest net manufacturing cost of any fluid, cost savings will be realized through longer tool life, increased productivity, lower shop maintenance costs, cleaner chips, cleaner parts and floors.
