Customer Requirements
This customer uses high pressure, high volume coolant pumps to flood coolant in their pallet machines. Typical cycle times at this customer are in excess of 40 minutes with limited down time between cycles. The customer needed an extremely low foaming product that could perform the difficult milling and turning operations on their aluminum alloys.
Solution
Our formulation team designed SolCool 8200, a soluble oil that utilizes new low foam polymeric emulsifier technology to eliminate sump overflows. SolCool 8200 also contains a premium aluminum lubricant package to ensure superior machining performance on difficult aluminum applications. This customer boosted coolant performance and eliminated the need for defoamer.
