20% increased production and lower costs with the EXAIR Cold Gun
A knife manufacturer has decided to eliminate all oils and lubricants from the production process and has chosen an innovative approach: using blown compressed air for cooling with the EXAIR Cold Gun AirCoolant System. In collaboration with Spraybest, the manufacturer is working towards the goal of protecting the quality of food-grade stainless steel knives.
Why EXAIR Cold Gun?
The knife manufacturer faced challenges in eliminating oils and lubricants from the process. The use of oils and lubricants required additional cleaning, increased the production time for each knife blade, and raised manufacturing costs. To provide some form of cooling, they decided to switch to using open blown compressed air on the blades. While this reduced heat during the milling process, premature tool wear still occurred. Additionally, the open-air process was noisy and consumed a significant amount of compressed air. Fortunately, EXAIR products offer an alternative that makes all these issues a thing of the past.
Benefits of EXAIR Cold Gun?
- Suitable for drilling, milling, and surface grinding
- Excellent alternative to coolants for machining operations using ice-cold compressed air.
- 28˚C below the supply air temperature
- Quiet in operation
- No moving parts that can wear out
Result of EXAIR Cold Gun
On the advice of Spraybest, the knife manufacturer installed an EXAIR Cold Gun with two outlets, allowing cold air to be blown to both the sides of the tool and the blade to dissipate heat. This has increased the speed of operations by 20%, resulting in higher production. Additionally, the tools now have a 30% longer lifespan, contributing to lower production costs. The noise level has significantly decreased compared to the old-fashioned open air supply, which is very positive for the employees!
