SMOOTHFORM 4700

Overview

Aluminum foil containers are vastly popular for the packaging of food products. A manufacturer of these containers was facing problems of foul smell on storage of containers and high scrap generation on the machine. The root cause of this was the punching oil used on the machine.

Molygraph’s application experts studied the case and proposed SMOOTHFORM® 4700 S(K) punching oil. The solution worked perfectly meeting customer’s expectations and resulting in improved quality of product, fewer rejects, and lowered manufacturing cost.

Challenge

    • An imported Punching & stamping mold release oil used was having limitations
    • The oil had a filthy smell and the same was getting passed on to the final product
    • The evaporation time of the oil was very long so when it is packed wet it will stink after storage.
    • Foul odor associated with the containers when stored in the warehouse over extended periods
    • The high amount of scrap generation due to inadequate lubrication from the oil
    • To prevent cracks, silicon oil has to be added in more quantities, hence the cost of containers increases further.

Solution

SMOOTHFORM® 4700 S(K)

HIGH-PERFORMANCE FIN PRESS OIL FOR AIR CONDITIONERS AND OTHER PUNCHINGS

    • Avoids oil staining during high-speed punching with silicon steel plates or electrical thin plates due to efficient vaporization.
    • Each sheet can be readily separated through the use of low-boiling point solvents and special additives during the annealing process.
    • Extends the life of metal molds during high-speed stroking, thereby increasing productivity.
    • Reduces cracks with a highly purified base oil with special lubrication improvement agents and abrasion prevention agents.
    • Provides excellent long-term chemical stability. High load-carrying capacity. Avoids tool breakages.
    • Colorless and odorless. Does not react with aluminum or copper.
    • Oil residue compatible with R-407C, R-409, R 410A,R-22,R-134A, and other New Age Freons.
    • Environment-friendly product.
