Maximum utilization, minimal waste
Traditionally, drawing lubricants in wire production are changed at fixed intervals or when a quality characteristic deteriorates, leading to avoidable material costs and production interruptions. The TOTAL USE approach, on the other hand, aims to extend the stable "original" condition of the lubricant during use.
As long as the lubricant in the drawing box does not show clumping, black residues, or dusty behavior, it should continue to be used. A crucial point is to maintain the stability of the product used in the drawing box so that the wire only takes the amount needed for optimal lubrication, preventing clumping and crushing of the granules. The stability of the granules with optimal lubrication is thus an important quality feature. Therefore, only targeted refilling of the lubricant directly during the process is carried out, and no regular changes are made.
This simple but effective method allows for an extension of the lubricant's usage duration and has proven successful in numerous customer projects. On average, the need for drawing lubricants is reduced by around 20 percent.
Economic and ecological benefits in focus
The advantages of the TOTAL USE approach are multifaceted:
- Cost reduction: Less lubricant consumption means direct savings in production costs and a reduction in material inventories.
- Sustainability: Lower material consumption not only reduces waste but also CO₂ emissions along the entire supply chain – a crucial step towards resource-efficient wire production.
- Production optimization: Targeted refilling ensures a stable drawing process without unnecessary interruptions due to premature lubricant changes.
Research and customer orientation as success factors
Traxit Wire Lubrication combines its long-standing expertise in research and development with a strong customer focus through TOTAL USE. Detailed process and manufacturing analyses at customers' sites lead to slight modifications of existing lubricants to further reduce consumption without compromising drawing quality.
The company continuously invests in the development of its product range to optimally adapt the lubricants to the individual requirements of wire production. The TOTAL USE approach exemplifies the innovative spirit of Traxit Wire Lubrication, combining economic efficiency with ecological responsibility.
