Case Studies

Electric Vehicle Manufacturer Reduces Coolant Usage by 20% with TRIM® MicroSol® 692XT
Established in 1955, the company is a leading provider to the electric vehicle manufacturing industry, primarily focused on stainless steel and aluminum machining.
THE CHALLENGE
The manufacturer processes a number of aluminum extrusions for EV, along with drilling, taping, and milling. Their previous coolant was causing strong odors from heavy bacterial growth . Despite multiple and frequent machine cleanouts, these problems persisted, leading to increased costs and a dissatisfied workforce. Desperate for improvements, the company was eager to upgrade their coolant.
THE SOLUTION
In search of a resolution, the customer sought the expertise of Master Fluid Solutions. Upon consultation with Master’s coolant experts, the customer recommendation was to trial TRIM® MicroSol® 692XT, a high-lubricity, semisynthetic, microemulsion coolant with excellent sump life. This advanced coolant was chosen for its ability to address the challenges faced by the electric vehicle manufacturer.
THE RESULTS
The trial of MicroSol 692XT spanned three months and proved to be an overwhelming success. Throughout the entire test period, the customer never experienced unpleasant odors, which significantly improved the working environment including morale of their employees. Moreover, laboratory samples showed no trace of bacteria, indicating that the new coolant is effectively controlling bacterial issues. In addition to resolving the odor and bacterial issues, the customer experienced  an unexpected and substantial benefit. By switching to MicroSol 692XT, they were able to reduce fluid consumption by 20%. This reduction was achieved by using a lower makeup rate and carryoff, resulting in cost savings and a more sustainable coolant management process.

The impressive results of the trial led the customer to make the decision to convert all their machines to MicroSol 692XT. By doing so, they not only solved their coolant challenges but also improved their overall machining processes, enhancing efficiency, and reducing operational costs. The success of this transition in coolant contributed to their continued leadership in the electric vehicle manufacturing industry.
THE NUMBERS
  • 20% fluid reduction
  • Removed bad odors 
  • Eliminated bacteria
  • Created a more sustainable coolant management process
