Jemtech offer holds out promise of free coolant

Free of charge, Jemtech (UK) will visit and document the potential productivity savings that are achievable by employing the most appropriate coolant. In many cases these savings will be large enough to cover the costs of the coolant for the year, every year! "By implementing the findings that we will report, we are confident that customers will make significant savings, which, if the procedures remain in place, will continue to benefit the bottom line for many years to come," Says Steve Coull, managing director, Jemtech (UK). Expenditure on cutting fluid is typically 10 times less than the amount spent on tooling, so the fluid spend is viewed as insignificant. However, by using a higher quality, sometimes more expensive, but superior cutting fluid such as Blaser Swisslube, tooling costs can be reduced significantly. In addition, feed rates can be increased and scrap rates reduced, while lights-out machining can also be made possible. "It is staggering to think of the money that is being spent needlessly on metalworking fluids, when a good management procedure and awareness of issues surrounding problems associated with them, that shortens their useful life, could drastically reduce the costs involved and improve overall productivity," says Mr Coull.
