The global trend in production facilities is rationalisation. Rationalisation of processes and the number of products required to run a process. Machines are being made to work harder and the requirement for lubrication has increased too.

Increasing Demand for Lubrication in Hardworking Machines

A survey completed recently found that 73% of production interruption due to breakdowns is caused by lubrication errors. Either due to a lack of lubrication or often by the addition of the incorrect product to the application. This survey also indicated that, on average, the cost of lubricants to companies throughout the industry in South Africa amounts to approximately 3% of the annual expenditure.

CSI’s Solution: Hydracut for Efficient Production

To this end, CSI has developed one product that can be used in different applications to maximise production efficiency and reduce the chance of catastrophic failure due to the incorrect product being added to a particular application.

Hydracut is a product containing an additive package which includes extreme pressure, lubricity enhancing and foam-reducing additives. Hydracut has been formulated for use in hydraulic systems, in neat cutting oil applications, and in slideway lubrication systems for most machine tools. This multi-use product serves to simplify the production process by removing the need for three different products for an application and replacing these with a one-product solution.

Advantages of Hydracut

Hydracuts’ ability to fulfil the tasks that standard hydraulic oil, slideway lubricant and cutting oil are required for leads to increased production and decreased downtime.

In addition to this, the additive package ensures that the following is achieved:

• Superior Cutting Performance
• Increased Tool life
• Enhanced surface finish
• Renders the concerns of oil leaks and cross contamination null and void due to its use as a hydraulic, cutting and slideway lubricant.

Hydracut has been used in production facilities throughout South Africa for the last 10 years and continues to provide our customers with good efficiency and peace of mind. Contact us today and let us provide you with solutions to your chemical and lubrication requirements.
