How Unist MQL solutions work

How does Unist deliver tapping benefits with less fluid? We take a different approach:
Minimum Quantity Lubrication
Minimum Quantity Lubrication

Unist systems dispense a narrow stream of atomized lubrication called minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) or near-dry machining. 

MQL keeps cutting tools at optimal temperatures without the mess of flood coolant by reducing friction. Minimum quantity lubrication can improve tool life and surface finishes using only a fraction of the fluid.

Testimonial
"Increased our effective tap life from 450 pieces per tap to 1500 pieces"
After changing from flood coolant to a Unist Coolubricator and Coolube 2210AL lubricant on our Brother TC-32A, we were able to increase our effective tap life from 450 pieces per tap to 1500 pieces per tap.

Testimonial
"We are getting excellent tap life with this system"
The parts were much cleaner and we found that we were using much less lubricant and the taps were lasting longer. We were also able to increase our production by eliminating the need to drain the parts before packing. We updated our second tapper in February of 2000 with the same results as the first one.
