New technologies, Cooling Plant

The leading mechanic of the machine-building plant is an important and versatile profession. Even after spending a whole decade at the plant, I do not stop learning, adding new information to the field of my knowledge. For example, a couple of weeks ago it was necessary, together with the sales department, to order a cutting fluid for the production plant.

Much has been clarified on the manufacturer's website. I immediately noticed the fact that in addition to different emulsions there were water-soluble coolants. Water-soluble coolant for machine tools is used for the operation of band saw machines and in the work of machines that process black or colored types of metals. In a word, this coolant was required for the functioning of 95 percent of all machine-tools at the enterprise.

Thus, we have found an excellent business partner, and with it we work till now. We are used to working in old fashioned ways, and there are modern ways of searching for data that are much faster and more convenient. Neglect these prospects is not worth it, because in business wins the one who quickly gets used to the changing realities. It's hard to say how much time we spent trying to find a new supplier of coolant without access to the Internet. In conclusion of its history, it should be said that using this method, there is not only coolant for lathes, but many other things.

Due to timely actions, we managed to get rid of the stagnation of the enterprise. I think there is no need to explain that even a single shift in inaction carries thousands of monetary losses. Here it is worth emphasizing that for 2 years of business partnership with the enterprise that produces and also supplies raw materials, there were no complaints.

The bottom line is that it is in our region that the production of SOTS, to put it mildly, is not established, and therefore it was necessary to search everywhere. First and foremost, we had to find a supplier that could supply our enterprise with constant supplies of this consumable, that is, a factory for the production of coolant. I forgot where exactly, but on one web resource I saw it - "Coolant for machine tools ProMet Universal". Before, we knew nothing about that company and, of course, it was interesting to know about delivery, long-term contracts, prices.

I managed to read something on the company's website. I immediately noticed that in addition to a variety of lubricants, there were water-soluble coolants. Water-soluble coolant is used in the operation of band-saw type automata, as well as in the operation of automatic machines that process ferrous and non-ferrous types of metals. In a word, this lubricant-cooling liquid was suitable for the prevailing number of all working machines in the enterprise.

So we found an excellent supplier, which we cooperate with till now. We are used to working in obsolete ways, while there are new opportunities for obtaining data, much faster and more handy. To neglect them is undesirable, since in business the one who quickly connects to changing realities wins. It's hard to imagine how much time was lost trying to choose a reliable supplier of coolant, if not for access to the Internet. In conclusion of this story I want to note - applying this method, you can choose not only an emulsion for machine tools, but also a lot of the rest.

Thanks to early searches, the company managed to avoid stagnation. I do not need to explain that even a single idle shift promises significant monetary losses. Here it is worth emphasizing that for two years of cooperation with the plant, which produces and supplies coolant, there were no complaints.
