Minimal oil
October 1st 2009 According to Bielomatik a typical
'wet'machine may use 10 to 10,000
litres/hour of lubricant depending
on application; whilst much is
recycled, overall losses can amount
to between 3 and 15 litres/hour.
With Bielomatik Minimal
Quantity Lubrication (MQL) system
oil consumption can drop
significantly to between 100 and
150ml/hour. Apart from reducing the
amount of lubricant used, with MQL
it is easier to dispose of metal
cuttings since they are virtually oilfree
and machine performance is
enhanced, particularly in terms of
production time. More articles from Leuze Bielomatik: |
