How Unist MQL works on drills

How does Unist deliver drilling lubrication benefits with less fluid? We take a different approach with Minimum Quantity Lubrication
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.

Priefert product
MQL keeps Texas manufacturer drilling
After two years, Priefert is an avid proponent of Unist’s Serv-O-Spray™­ system and Coolube®. While drilling 1,200 holes/hr, Priefert consumes approximately half a gallon of Coolube® 2210EP per week while maintaining a clean work environment and experiencing exceptional drill performance.
FLUID SAVINGS
Only half a gallon of lubricant for 48,000 holes
"We have seen considerable improvements in productivity, tool life, and machine cleanliness"
We have been able to eliminate coolant usage almost entirely. We employ skilled machinists and toolmakers that have 20 plus years of industry experience that prefer this product over traditional coolants.

Full Testimonial
Less is more
It might seem counterintuitive that a cutting tool doesn’t need to be flooded with coolant to prevent it from overheating during a metalcutting operation, but minimum quantity lubrication has a long history of effectiveness.
