Case Studies

The Precision Motion Control Manufacturer faced various issues regarding the coolant used in their machining processes. They were utilising a competitor's coolant that presented multiple challenges. The coolant had a notable short sump life, lasting only around six months, leading to frequent coolant changes, increased waste and costs. The coolant emitted foul odours due to bacteria that negatively impacted the working environment for employees. Additionally, the coolant failed to provide sufficient protection for sensitive alloys during grinding operations, resulting in poor surface finishes and even staining.

In response to these challenges, the manufacturer contacted a representative from Master Fluid Solutions. The representative conducted a comprehensive assessment of the manufacturer’s operations. After a thorough evaluation, they recommended a trial of TRIM MicroSol 590XT. MicroSol 590XT is an environmentally friendly semisynthetic microemulsion coolant. This advanced coolant utilizes the latest technology to offer extended sump life and outstanding protection for sensitive alloys.

Following the implementation of MicroSol 590XT and the subsequent trial, the manufacturer experienced significant improvements in their machining operations. MicroSol 590XT dramatically extended the sump life, increasing it from a mere six months to an impressive two years, marking a 400% increase. The coolant effectively eliminated the unpleasant odours that had plagued the working environment. Employees could now work in a more comfortable and better shop environment. Most importantly, the new coolant proved highly effective in protecting sensitive alloys during grinding operations. The manufacturer observed eliminating coolant related scrap due to burns and surface finish issues. This enhanced the quality of their products, reducing waste and rework.

The manufacturer was thrilled with the results obtained from the use of MicroSol 590XT. As a result, they are looking forward to continuing their partnership with Master Fluid Solutions and building a strong and lasting business relationship.
