Anglomoil’s line of metalworking coolants and fluids

Anglomoil introduces its distinguished range of metalworking coolants and fluids, engineered for precision and durability in various industrial applications. Here are some of them:

• Syncut

  Anglomoil Syncut stands out as a synthetic coolant concentrate, adept at handling all metal types and alloys. It excels in drilling, milling and threading operations, offering superior performance in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its oil-rejecting properties guarantee efficient machining across diverse processes.

• Slideway Oil

  Developed from solvent-refined mineral oils, this lubricant maintains vertical and horizontal slideways. It’s compatible with metal and plastic surfaces and delivers exceptional demulsifying properties for smooth operation and protection.

• Semi Synthetic EP

  The Semi Synthetic EP fluid demonstrates a robust, high-EP formulation. It forms a stable, clear micro-emulsion with water that enhances its efficiency in heavy-duty tasks. Ideal for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, this fluid supports a wide range of operations like deep-hole drilling and gear hobbing.

• Contram CB-3

  Contram CB-3, a formaldehyde-free solution, is Anglomoil’s answer to effective metalworking fluid system cleaning. Its high alkaline content balances pH during fluid disposal and recharge. This concentrated cleaner combines bactericides, fungicides and surface-active agents. The result is comprehensive cleaning and disinfection that maintains a high standard of machining efficiency and longevity.

Choosing the right metalworking fluid

Investing in the right metalworking fluid can prevent excessive wear and tear — safeguarding the machinery against premature breakdowns and ensuring consistent, high-quality machining outputs​​. The choice of a metalworking fluid hinges on various factors:

• Machining operation – Different operations have unique requirements. For instance, some fluids are better suited for high-speed operations, providing excellent cooling, while others offer superior lubrication for slower, precision tasks.

• Workpiece material – The compatibility of the fluid with the material being worked on is vital. Ferrous metals might need fluids with extreme pressure additives, whereas non-ferrous materials often pair well with straight oils or water-based fluids.

• Environmental considerations – Today’s manufacturing landscape also demands attention to environmental impact. Options such as water-based fluids or biodegradable variants are preferred to reduce ecological footprints.

FAQs

What are metalworking fluids, and why are they used in machining?

Metalworking fluids (MWFs) are used in industrial machining and grinding operations to reduce heat and friction and remove metal particles. They are crucial for cooling hot metal pieces as they are moulded and crafted — helping machinery operate normally and aiding in consistent production. MWFs are essential in various manufacturing processes, including machining, forming, grinding and cutting. Their primary functions include cooling the workpiece and cutting tool, lubricating the workpiece and tool and keeping the work area clean by removing debris​​​​​​.

Can metalworking fluids be recycled or reused?

Metalworking fluids can often be recycled or reused, but this depends on the type of fluid and the specific machining process. Recycling or reusing MWFs helps reduce waste and can be cost-effective. However, it’s important to follow appropriate safety procedures and guidelines so that recycled fluids maintain their performance characteristics and do not pose health or environmental risks.

What is the lifespan of metalworking fluids in a machining process?

The lifespan of metalworking fluids varies based on factors like the type of fluid, the machining operation and the maintenance practices. Generally, well-maintained fluids can last for an extended period, but they should be regularly monitored for contamination and effectiveness. Regular maintenance includes checking fluid concentration and pH levels and removing contaminants to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

How should metalworking fluids be handled and disposed of safely?

Safe handling and disposal of metalworking fluids can mitigate health risks in machine workshops. Generally, you want to minimise contact with these fluids and maintain cleanliness to protect workers from harmful effects. Key measures include using the proper filtration systems to reduce bacterial growth and avoiding skin contact and inhalation of MWF mist.

To dispose of metalworking fluids, it’s important to follow environmental regulations and best practices to avoid environmental contamination and harm. Used MWFs should not be disposed of into drains, rivers or other waterways as they can cause significant environmental damage. Instead, they should be collected and disposed of in accordance with local waste disposal regulations. Often, this involves treating the fluids to remove harmful components or recycling them if possible. Some facilities specialise in treating and recycling MWFs, converting them into usable forms or ensuring their safe disposal.
