Quality Fluids: Cutting Costs, Not Performance

The significance of high-quality industrial fluids in enhancing metalworking and metal stamping operations cannot be overstated. These fluids are pivotal in improving cutting performance, extending tool life, and achieving a superior surface finish. However, the prevailing misconception that “more is better” when it comes to fluid usage poses a significant challenge. The cost of investing in high-quality fluids is perceived as a barrier, leading to the continued overuse of lower-quality alternatives.

Green Manufacturing: Reducing Fluid at the Source

The use of fluids in metal stamping and machining operations is necessary, but with their use comes the corporate responsibility to collect and dispose of fluid waste properly. Used metalworking fluids become contaminated with oils, fines, metals, bacteria, etc. These fluids require treatment before disposal to meet local, state, and federal laws, and even then, there are still environmental impacts associated with transportation and proper disposal. Not to mention the cost.

The best way to reduce environmental impact is to reduce industrial fluid usage. Adopting sustainable fluid management practices can reduce costs and help companies meet regulatory requirements and certifications, like ISO 14001, enhance their reputation, and increase their competitiveness in the marketplace.
