Making A Positive Difference

Selection of the right metal working fluid is equally (if not more) important as selection of right tool, says Yatendra Kumar, Business Head, MotulTech India.

How is MotulTech enabling manufacturers to achieve machine performance and productivity? 

We at MotulTech, always put lots of efforts in R&D to give customise products keeping in mind the overall plant efficiency in which machine performance and increased productivity play an important role but there are many more paybacks, which can be shown to customers. One such example is with our semisynthetic water-soluble metal working fluid “SAFKOOL 1044”, which was tried against a well-known global company, with the challenge of sump life, smell and skin issues on Makino machine. We tried for four months and established our product. We have shown that not only did the life of the sump increase from two months to four months but there was also no smell and skin challenge with nine percent improvement in life of cutting tool. All this gave a reduction in oil consumption by 35 percent hence big saving in disposal cost (by 35 percent).

Another example is of our Universelle 800SC, which is chlorine free and vegetable oil based neat deformation oil, where customer has given a challenge of not only improvement in surface finish but also of rust protection for three months. We successfully addressed both of the challenges and increased the productivity substantially, by eliminating the requirement of rust preventive.
