Case Studies

Leading South Asian Alloy Wheel-Maker Reduces Cost per Part by 26% with TRIM™ E709
The customer has emerged as one of the largest aluminum alloy wheel manufacturers in Indonesia. Since 1987, the company has served nearly every globally recognized automotive manufacturer, as well as regional brands in the Southeast Pacific market.
THE CHALLENGE
Over the years, the customer has perfected their high-volume turning and drilling operation, producing aluminum alloy wheels with maximum efficiency. However, their previous cutting fluid was easily contaminated and suffered from a short sump life. Finish quality of parts was also inconsistent, often requiring additional rework that reduced productivity and increased costs.

The frequent fluid replacement, additional machine downtime, demanding maintenance, low finish quality, and additional part rework all combined to create a high cost per part.
THE SOLUTION
The customer switched to Master Fluid Solutions™ TRIM™ E709, a universal soluble oil specially formulated for high-quality, low-maintenance operation, with excellent tramp oil rejection and uncompromised performance. The fluid is prized for its high level of chemical and mechanical lubricity, granting it wide applicability with virtually any material and type of operation, including the toughest machining jobs.

The high-stability formula features a small emulsion size that improves lubricity, thereby improving part finish, consistency and accuracy. This also makes the fluid incredibly easy to wash off, reducing the amount of time and product needed for cleaning and finishing. These qualities make TRIM E709 a top choice for alloy wheel manufacturers.
THE RESULTS
After charging sumps with TRIM E709, the customer achieved an immediate return on investment, with substantial improvements to key performance indicators (KPIs). Highly resistant to tramp oil and other contaminants, E709 virtually eliminated the formation of bacteria, extending fluid life without the need for replacement. In fact, coolant life doubled from 6 to 12 months, which contributed to a 47% reduction in coolant consumption.

E709 also drastically improved part finish quality, reducing the amount of time needed to process each wheel, in addition to reducing coolant waste. By just upgrading to a better cutting fluid, the customer was able to reduce cost per part by 26%. Even better, the new fluid no longer stained the aluminum alloy parts.
THE NUMBERS
  • Lowered cost per part by 26%
  • Reduced coolant consumption by 47%
  • Doubled coolant life from 6 to 12 months
