Case Study: Troubleshooting Lubricant Tank Contamination

Powerful removal of metal soaps! Reliable cleaning of lubricant tanks and pipelines for copper wire manufacturers.

Cleaner Systems with Control QA-2 During metal processing with water-soluble lubricants, metal soap waste is inevitably generated. Over time, this waste builds up inside machines and piping, causing contamination. Such deposits can reduce product quality, increase downtime, and shorten the lifespan of both tools and lubricants. With Control QA-2, maintenance becomes simple and effective. By adding it to the lubricant tank and circulating for 24 hours, accumulated waste in tanks and piping is dissolved and removed. The used solution can be disposed of directly as waste—no complicated procedures are required. Compared with conventional water or caustic cleaning, Control QA-2 delivers a far higher removal rate, helping manufacturers maintain cleaner systems, longer lubricant life, and more stable production. Case Summary Issues Metal soap waste generated during metal processing with water-soluble lubricants accumulates in machines and piping. This buildup leads to lower product quality and reduces the service life of tools and lubricants. For more details, please see the PDF or contact us for further information.

basic information

**Case Summary** ■Challenges - Manual high-pressure water cleaning was labor-intensive and could not completely remove dirt inside the pipes. ■Solution - Added "Control QA-2" to the lubricant tank. - By circulating it for 24 hours, waste accumulated in the pipes and tank was removed. - Since the cleaning solution only needs to be treated as waste liquid, there is no need for complicated procedures. ■Improvement Results - Compared to water and caustic cleaning, the dirt removal rate from the pipes significantly increased. - The elimination of dirt inside the pipes led to an improvement in the quality of the final product. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
