Three types of metal chips, three oils, and one solution that works
In microtechnology, fine metal chips are produced every day, often together with various cutting oils or fluids. Each type of chip and each oil presents its own challenges, from separation and processing to recycling back into production.
Many companies face similar questions: How can different types of chips and oils be separated and treated efficiently? How can cutting oil be recovered, cleaned, and reused? And how can the entire process be integrated into existing production without disrupting operations?
Monnin SA, an industrial company specializing in precision manufacturing and bar turning, faced precisely these challenges. A complex requirement that calls for a flexible solution.
Together, we have created a well-designed system that is not only economically but also ecologically convincing with the following results:
- Less manual intervention, more time for value-adding activities
- Conservation of resources through recovery and reuse of the oils used
- Increased process reliability through sensor technology, alarm management, and tablet monitoring
- Holistic system from chip handling to oil distribution
👉 In our case study, you can read about the components of our solution and how it was implemented in practice.
Do these challenges sound familiar? We would be happy to advise you on developing a solution that is optimally suited to your business.
