    SCOPE
    of Micro-Fluidization

    UNIST HQ

    Welcome to our new subscribers! Micro-Mail SCOPE is our application focused newsletter which reports the broad "Scope" of possibilities for Micro- Fluidization. Each month we send you successful scenarios showing methods of applying fluids and lubricants which result in less consumption and better overall manufacturing performance.

    We hope you are having a successful first quarter. Whatever your current results, UNIST systems can help you find additional cost savings and operational improvements related to fluid purchase, handling, maintenance and disposal. Since these activities often represent 10%-20% of total manufacturing cost, they are worth taking a look at. Give us a call, or send a message to micro-mail@unist.com

    uni-News p-8 Vegetable Based Lubricants: Price vs. Efficiency
    From the Corner Office - by Wally Boelkins, President, UNIST, Inc.

    We often are asked about vegetable based machining lubricants---their quality, price and usage rate.

    Lubricant quality runs the full spectrum and determining the true quality can only be done by comparison testing of finish quality, production rates and oxidation properties. Normally, less expensive lubricants are less pure and require more lubricant volume for equivalent machining results. Although no one can accurately equate price per unit volume to efficiency, there normally is an approximate correlation.

    Critical Drawing Requirements
    Roller Lubrication Combines with Downstream Spray to Complete Drawing Process

    A stamper of small to mid sized automotive components began to acquire larger presses in order to take on a broader range of parts. When their paint roller and spray lubrication methods started to prove inconsistent with larger dimensions and longer die progressions, they looked for a solution they could more precisely control throughout their die progressions and draws.
