This brand new saw installation never saw one drop of Coolant. The customer insisted that this new machine had to be fitted with an oil spray lubrication system to lubricate the band saw blade. The benefits of this cost effective alternative are many, here are just a few:

This MEP machine is capable of cutting right and left miters up to 60 degree… the customer gets a finished product free of cutting contaminations. For the saw owner he has an easy/clean job cleaning up using a dry industrial vacuum cleaner.

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!

MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubrication) offers some serious benefits to those who make the switch from flood coolant. Reducing the amount of fluid used and the amount of fluid-related equipment required can affect your bottom line. Improving tool life and operational efficiencies can increase your profits, and adopting an environmentally-friendly MQL system is a big plus … Read more

Pump-based systems: like Unist’s Coolubricator and Serv-O-Spray move the fluid using a small pneumatic pump. The pump allows precise control of the fluid output though adjustments of its stroke length and frequency. The positive displacement design ensures that exactly the same volume of lubricant is metered out with each stroke. It is the most precise … Read more

 

This machine can drill, route and then cut to length aluminium profiles of basically any shape. The machine is fitted with a 3 nozzle Coolubricator which sprays oil onto the cutter.

This results in elimination of mess, cutters staying sharper longer, and happy operators. The cut-to-length saw is fitted with a Unist Saw system which lubricates the saw blade’s teeth, resulting in a clean cut while at the same time extending the life of the blade between sharpening.

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

  1. Significantly increases blade and tool life.

The Unist system  was set to use 10ml of Coolube 2210 per hour utilizing the patented U shaped BAT nozzle which will apply oil directly to the blade.
Benefits such as dry chips, substantial increase in blade life, the elimination of safety hazards such as spills and operator dermatitis are realized straight away.

When considering doing single channel MQL, whether through turret or spindle, the coolant channel passages will have an effect on how well it will work. Straight passages with no turns, cavities, or restrictions are best. Three hundred years ago, Newton observed that objects have a natural tendency to keep on doing what they are doing. … Read more

Lubricant is delivered through the machine’s nozzles directly onto the selected cutting tool that has been loaded into the spindle. Oil consumption is approximately 10ml/hr. When such small amounts of oil are being applied, it is extremely important that the oil is an advanced metal cutting lubricant that is specifically designed for Minimum Quantity Lubrication.

Eliminating the oily mess caused by excess fluid and the adhesion of oxidized oil and aluminium chips to machine surfaces (which are almost impossible to clean) were a large priority for the customer.

Tool life and surface finish were two other very important points that had to be addressed when Gabbett’s were making their decision of which lubricant to use.

After much in-field experience and trials, Gabbett now recommends Unist’s Coolube 2210® Advanced Metal Cutting Lubricant. Coolube® is a specially designed vegetable oil proven to be an outstanding product for MQL applications. It features a natural composition which offers superior lubrication and will not oxidize. When applied properly in an MQL application, Gabbett finds that Coolube® promotes long tool life and improved surface finish.

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.

Chip removal in MQL is different than in flood cooling. In some ways it is harder; there is no fluid to wash chips away from the cut. In other ways it is better because dry chips typically move more easily and cleanly than wet ones. Fast and complete removal of chips and metal dust from … Read more

Although commonly called a mist system, machining with minimum quantity lubrication has been shown to produce fewer emissions than flood cooling. It is, in fact, a low-emission process. Unfortunately, when starting with MQL, many shops think that more is better so they blast as much air as possible through the MQL nozzles and literally create … Read more

When a substance reacts with oxygen, it turns into another compound altogether with a different molecular structure. This process is known as oxidation or oxidization and is widely known to occur in metals but can occur in fluids as well. Vegetable-based metal cutting fluids are affected greatly by oxidation.
