The Revolution™ uses our patent-pending MQL technology to integrate seamlessly with CNC machines. The system can be configured with one or two oil/air outputs which can be used for either external spray nozzles or through-the-spindle lubrication. The output volume of the Revolution™ can be tailored to each tool in a machine directly from the CNC … Read more

Vegetable lubricants may be refined from every seed and “nut” known to man. Every seed has its own particular set of chemicals and properties. Unist Coolube products 2210 and 2210EP are formulated from cosmetic grade raw materials, the end product is non-flammable, non-toxic and does not oxidise ( evaporate) like many other cutting oils. Metal … Read more

While machine coolants have traditionally been used almost exclusively in machining and metal cutting operations, the concept of minimum-quantity lubrication has been steadily gaining momentum during the last several years. MQL, also known as near dry machining, dry machining or near dry which replaces machining coolant with a minute amount of high-efficiency lubricant applied precisely … Read more

The use of fluids and lubricants to reduce friction and to cool and protect machines and components during cutting and forming presents significant challenges for manufacturers. Environmental concerns have added new chapters to the situation. In the current social and political setting, a great deal of emphasis is placed on environmental stewardship. As government regulation … Read more

Large scale reduction in fluid usage is  being accomplished through Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL), also known as Near Dry Machining (NDM). By adding MQL systems to CNC machines and selecting appropriate tooling and processes, MQL is capable of creating significant economies and process improvements in metal removal operations, helping both the environment and the bottom line. … Read more

Previously this customer had coolant everywhere as it ran down the tube and landed all over the floor creating a OH&S situation which has now vanished, thanks to the Unist Near Dry Sawing Coolubricator system.

In short, the benefits of Unist Coolube® with MQL are:

  1. Significantly increases blade and tool life.
  2. A cost effective conversion for all machine types.
  3. No waste – kind to the environment and no wasting money either More economical in the long run – using Coolube® preserves machine parts for longer and prevents rusting
  4. Clean – no more messy slip hazards from excess coolant oozing down machines and walk ways
  5. The MQL system dispenses precisely the amount of Coolube® needed. No more, and no less.
  6. Better for machine operators – no more dermatitis caused by skin contact with coolants.
  7. Coolube does not oxidise or go sticky.

Nowadays, many manufacturers are under pressure to “go green”. Unist Coolube® is one of the most advanced metalworking fluids available today. Implementing Minimum Quantity Lubrication (M.Q.L.), a no-waste dispensing system, with Unist Coolube® is an easy step to limit the environmental footprint of your manufacturing operation.

MQL is the process of applying minute amounts of high-quality metalworking fluid lubricant directly to the cutting tool or work piece interface instead of using traditional flood coolants. It minimises your environmental impact by significantly reducing fluid usage and eliminating the need for coolant treatment and disposal.

These benefits are multiplied further when using 100% biodegradable Coolube® lubricants, *that is*, metalworking fluids which are formulated from renewable plant-based oils. When considering these facts, along with the performance benefits of Coolube® and MQL, it becomes obvious that this is the most advanced and responsible answer to running metal cutting and metal forming equipment.

Using the right lubricant is very important in MQL applications. The perfect lubricant will adhere to the surface of the tool and provide a thin, low friction barrier between the cutting tool and work piece. Studies have shown that Coolube® has superior properties, which make it an ideal lubricant.

Coolube’s® polar properties create a strong consistent bond between Coolube® and metallic surfaces. This creates an even, strong, and durable layer of lubrication. Coolube® reduces friction 50% better than typical mineral oils preventing heat build-up and resulting in longer tool life and a superior cut finish.

At Unist, we’ve been manufacturing green products long before the hype. Since 1957 to be exact.

With our recent USDA BioPreferred Program certification, everyone can see just how green our lubricant products are. These are the same non-toxic, environmentally friendly, green products we’ve been touting for years.

Nothing has changed but the USDA’s certification of our bio-based content through independent laboratory testing.

Unist Coolube® 2210 and 2210EP are both USDA BioPreferred products and are tested and certified biobased products. Coolube® 2210 is certified biobased with a renewable, biobased content of 93%. Coolube® 2210EP is a certified lubricant with a biobased content of 92%.This reinforces what we’ve know about Coolube all along: it’s made from natural and renewable plant-based materials.

They’re still the same great lubricants that thousands of metalworkers have come to love and rely on for improved cut quality and tool life. They just have new USDA feathers in their caps!

There are many benefits to be gained by employing the Unist “Sawing” system. Read about the top ten benefits of NDS.

Also at the same time check out the benefits of using Coolube over other cheaper products that are on the market.

Previously considered impossible! Unist transformed this messy OH&S nightmare into a clean, neat and tidy installation.

Not only did we achieve dry chips AND turned the taps and coolant pumps off, we extended the blade life considerably. Our customer was so impressed; he is going to convert all their saws to Near Dry.
