Case Studies

The manufacturer’s previous coolant hindered performance and safety in the grinding process. The former coolant presented several issues. Excess foam during grinding operations was included, which reduced cutting efficiency and required frequent machine downtime to address. Employees regularly complained that the coolant caused skin irritation and discomfort while working, affecting their productivity and well-being. In addition to these issues, the coolant was difficult to monitor because the blue dye in the coolant obscured visibility. This made it challenging for employees to monitor tool wear, part quality, and surface finish.

Desperate for a solution but unsure of product options, a technical expert from Master Fluid Solutions™ stepped in to provide a product recommendation to solve the company’s coolant issues and leave them worry-free. After reviewing the process, the Master Fluid Solutions expert suggested a trial using TRIM™ C115RT, a high-performance synthetic fluid for working cast iron and steel specifically designed for grinding operations.

The manufacturer adopted TRIM C115RT for their grinding operations and immediately saw significant improvements. The premium TRIM fluid reduced excess foam, making the grinding process more efficient. This led to increased productivity and reduced production costs. The operators reported a noticeable reduction in skin irritation, leading to higher job satisfaction and overall morale. Lastly, the clear appearance of TRIM C115RT allowed operators to easily monitor the grinding process in real-time, allowing for timely adjustments and improved part quality!
