Creating a semi-synthetic metal working fluid which enabled our clients to enjoy 20% cost savings

Problem:

Our client, a connecting rod manufacturer, was having issues running their entire machining process. They used an online process, where the raw forged component was put in at one end, and the conrod was taken out at the other. During the gantry machining process, a lot of material removal takes place, as connecting rods are engine components with a very low tolerance.

APAR’s solution:

The clients requirement was that the solution we provided needed to work for multiple different kinds of metals: mild steel, copper and aluminium. After studying the client’s requirements we recommended Power Synthcut 50HH, a semi-synthetic metalworking fluid.

This one product substituted two products the client was using, which resulted in 20% cost saving, and also increased the service life of the product by 25%.

The client was so happy with the results that they decided to purchase additional neat cutting and rust preventive oil from APAR as well.
