[Improvement Case] Preventing foaming of water-soluble cutting oil and reducing coolant usage.
We will introduce examples of improvements in production efficiency due to the elimination of cleaning and replenishment tasks!
We received a request from a company in Niigata Prefecture to introduce a case where we prevented foaming of water-soluble cutting oil and reduced coolant usage by 15%. Upon inspecting the machine, we found that the filter inside the tank was clogged, which can cause foaming issues with the water-soluble cutting oil. We proposed a low-viscosity oil that would reduce the clogging of the filter. After implementation, we thoroughly cleaned the tank, including the filter, along with the coolant replacement work. As a result, the filter became less prone to clogging, and the overflow caused by foaming was eliminated. [Challenges Before Implementation] ■ Frequent occurrences of foaming of water-soluble cutting oil during processing, leading to leaks from the tank. ■ Operators had to stop the machine to clean around the tank and replenish the coolant, which resulted in significant time and cost for refilling, as well as excessive machine downtime, negatively impacting production efficiency. ■ Foaming increased the risk of reduced processing capability due to insufficient supply of cutting oil, leading to potential defects in parts, causing significant concern. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*
basic information
【Effects After Implementation】 ■ The filter is less likely to clog, eliminating overflow caused by foaming. ■ The usage of coolant has been reduced by approximately 15%. ■ An annual economic benefit of about 50,000 yen. ■ Contributed to improved production efficiency due to the elimination of cleaning and replenishment tasks. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
