The customer is a manufacturer of industrial food-processing machinery, producing precision components through continuous CNC machining operations. Their production involves working with both mild steel and stainless steel. Plus, the facility operates with four coolant tanks of 200 liters each.
The Challenge
The customer faced rising operating costs due to the existing coolant lacked stability during continuous CNC machining of mild steel and stainless steel, leading to frequent top-ups and inconsistent performance. Fluctuating coolant conditions increased the risk of residue, odor, and emulsification issues, all of which are undesirable in an environment where equipment cleanliness and process control are essential.
MotulTech's Solution
MotulTech recommended SAFCO STABILIS 793, an emulsifying premium-quality cutting fluid, blended from highly refined mineral oil and fortified with anti-rust and biocide additives, SAFCO STABILIS 793 forms a highly stable milky emulsion even in water with hardness up to 400 ppm. It offers excellent rust protection, reduced evaporation, and cleaner part finishes. Additionally, it contains no nitrites or chlorine, making it a safer, more environmentally friendly option.
The Outcome
After implementing the recommended coolant solution, the customer achieved measurable improvements in operational efficiency. Coolant usage was reduced by 22%, lowering consumption across their four 200-liter tanks and helping maintain cleaner, more stable machining conditions which is important for food-processing equipment production. This efficiency gain contributed to a 10% total annual cost saving, equivalent to approximately USD 2,500.
