One of the points that caught our attention during our visit to the wheel factory was the high cost of purchasing coolant. Several causes were identified that led to high coolant usage, including:

• Using emulsion coolant (high oil content), resulting in a lot of coolant being carried away by parts and chips
• Top-up concentration being the same as running concentration
• Tanks filled with chips from the process, causing the coolant to degrade quickly and requiring frequent replacement
• Using high concentration to prevent rust.

Solution

To address these issues, Eonchemicals offers a solution with the product EonTrim E709B-X, a semi-synthetic micro-emulsion coolant compatible with all types of materials. This coolant product has the following features and benefits:

• Very small particle size (micro), reducing the amount of coolant carried away by workpieces and cutting chips
• Stable concentration due to the use of premium emulsifiers
• High alkalinity to protect the coolant from bacteria and other contaminants
• Anti-rust properties for short-term protection

Trial Results

A trial was conducted over three months to determine the cost per wheel or the coolant cost per wheel. By using EonTrim E709B-X, the customer was able to save 26% on costs.

Parameter	Existing	EONTRIM E709B-X
Konsumsi Coolant (Liter)	7400 L	3900 L
Cost coolant/wheel (IDR)	616	455
Rush Protection	3 Hari	7 Hari
Total Cost Saving	26%

Qualitative Improvements:

• Cleaner coolant with no foul odor (creating a comfortable work environment)
• Coolant does not degrade quickly, reducing waste and increasing productivity
• No cases of irritation among operators were found

Conclusion

Choosing the right coolant is essential to achieving optimal results at the lowest possible cost, thereby enhancing competitiveness in the automotive market.
