LUBRISERV launches range of multi purpose cold forging lubricants

Lubriserv bring a range of ultra high performance products covering, extrusion, stamping, cold heading and drawing that have the benefit of being multipurpose - so they can also be used as the machine lubricant. They are formulated to lubricant the slide ways and guides and will not cause any corrosion problems that are typical with conventional fluids. This technology solves the difficult contamination problem between slide / guide oils and forming oils found on the majority of cold forging machines. Normally the separate lubricant in the machine will leak into the forging lubricant and gradually dilute the performance until the tool life becomes so poor or the component won't run that the whole system needs to be discarded at significant cost and also downtime. The lubricants come in a range of viscosities to suit different machines.

Swarf Centrifuging

In metal cutting operations where cutting fluids are used, the swarf absorbs a large amount of coolant. What is desired is dry chips that are easy to handle and cutting fluids that can be reclaimed and fed back to the cutting operation, either directly or via a filtering stage. Centrifuging, filtering of the cutting fluid and removal of the dry swarf can be handled by a continuously working swarf handling system, where manual labour often can be entirely eliminated.
