A customer faced excessive heat buildup that reduced efficiency, while high fluid usage increased operating costs. At the same time, reliance on manual pre-paint steps slowed production.
OUR APPROACH
Janed worked closely with the plant manager and buyer to evaluate the application and as a result offered Metal Medic 31, a higher-performing stamping fluid. This fluid was implemented at half the concentration and an increase in performance was seen within one month of implementation.
THE RESULTS
- 48% Cost Reduction
- Manual Hand Wiping Process Eliminated
- Die Temps Reduced to Ambient
- 100 Hours of Labor Saved per Year
- Seamless Paint Line Transfer
- Improved Tool Life
THE TAKEAWAY
Operating value isn’t always defined by price per gallon. A higher-performing stamping fluid, applied at the right concentration, can reduce process steps, improve tool life, and deliver lower total operating cost even when the product itself isn’t the lowest-priced option.
