Dry machining technology
With dry machining, profiles are machined without the use of emulsion and cooling lubricant. This new environmentally friendly technology requires the use of special tools with a special cutting geometry and an innovative coating. With us you will now receive your aluminum products 100% dry machined.
More sustainable value chain
Aluminum is a key component for a more climate-friendly circular economy. Nevertheless, we are also aware of the challenges in making the entire value chain of our products more sustainable. In our production facilities in particular, we have started to pursue the goal of sustainability and to give this goal significant weight in our daily decisions. We question production processes with regard to their resource requirements, the type and origin of the resources used, their impact on the environment and their recyclability. In addition to this ongoing process, which brings us ever closer to the maximum possible conservation of resources, avoiding operating resources is the greatest possible step towards sustainability.
The advantages that result from machining without cooling lubricant in all value-added stages of further processing are diverse:
- The elimination of the cooling lubricant has positive effects on the quality of the product: a lower risk of corrosion, reduced burr formation on the profile and no adhesion of chips.
- No environmental pollution due to the emission of lubricants and no resource-polluting treatment of the lubricants after use.
- The washing process for cleaning the profiles is no longer necessary: the profiles are clean after blowing with compressed air and can be packed directly. This means a reduced cleaning and pre-treatment effort for further processing stages.
- Reduction of waste: Elimination of the residues of cooling lubricant on the profile avoid residues on the packaging material, so that it can be reused.
- Improved working environment in production: No health risks from lubricant-containing aerosols in the hall and a clean workplace for improved safety.
