Metalube™ Lubricool 318 meets the demands of Niehoff MMH 32 multi-wire machine
OVERVIEW
One of India’s largest wire and cable producers, which manufacturers high-quality electrical wire for multiple market segments, approached Metalube™ looking for a lubricant partner that would be able to achieve the high-performance objectives required to run their Niehoff MMH 32 multi-wire machine. The copper wire produced by the company was both ISI marked and approved by the FIA/TAC, so it was necessary for the lubricant to uphold and deliver the highest manufacturing standards.
OUTCOME
Metalube™ recommended the use of Lubricool 318™, a high performance, semi-synthetic lubricant designed for high speed drawing of intermediate, fine and super fine copper wire. In addition, to ensure the longevity Metalube™ proposed the use of Metacare NP™ and Metacare NH™, which when used as a post additive, further increased and optimised the performance and life of the lubricant.
Achieved production speeds of 31 m/sec for 0.2mm copper wire
Average monthly production of 350 tonnes
Lubricool 318 provided 4 ½ year sump life in 7,500 litre system and is still producing to this day
