Case Studies

PMT struggled with their metalworking fluids, which required a 45% coolant concentration to achieve their desired tool life and part finish quality. This high concentration drove up operational costs and hindered the company’s ability to invest in other critical projects. The coolant also had bacterial issues and produced excessive odour, negatively impacting their employees and operations. PMT embarked on a mission to find a more cost-effective and efficient coolant solution. 

To address PMT’s coolant-related challenges, an expert from Master Fluid Solutions™ recommended TRIM™ HyperSol™ 888NXT. HyperSol 888NXT's neo-synthetic technology masters the art of versatility. Providing exceptional performance on hard aerospace metals such as titanium and high-nickel alloys, stainless steels and Inconel^®, it also offers the superior lubricity necessary for machining soft, gummy aluminium alloys. HyperSol 888NXT also delivers low foam, low odour and a long sump life with low carryoff while meeting the strictest environmental regulations. It is also part of the USDA BioPreferred programme.

PMT put HyperSol 888NXT to the test, running it at a significantly lower concentration of just 10% for 30 days. The results were incredible. PMT eliminated foaming issues, reducing downtime. HyperSol 888NXT improved machine cleanliness and eliminated odour in the facility, creating a more pleasant working environment. One of the most remarkable outcomes of adopting HyperSol 888NXT was the substantial cost savings realised by PMT. PMT significantly reduced coolant consumption by reducing their coolant concentration from 45% to 10%, a 78% reduction in target concentration. 

Thrilled with the results, PMT converted their remaining machines to HyperSol 888NXT. Additionally, PMT is excited to explore other products offered by Master Fluid Solutions to optimise their machining processes further and achieve even greater efficiencies and cost savings.
