Following is a UNIST distributor's actual description of a 30 day Uni-Roller evaluation and the results that followed.

"The customerÕs plant was a mess. Fluid everywhere but on the part. The customer tried one Roller to test under 30 day guaranteed trial. They were skeptical at first, especially the tooling guys who normally believe more fluid is better. The main element of proof was temperature readings of the working pieces were actually reduced several degrees using the roller only. As heat is ultimately the culprit to tool wear the tool room was satisfied. It was all downhill from there."

Results:  Fluid consumption was reduced 25%. The annualized dollar amount saved was $51,480.00.  Waste disposal was reduced by 50%. The annualized dollar amount saved was $18,884.00.  Floor cleaner was reduced by 20%. Estimated annualized cost savings was $3960.00  Total Hard Dollar Savings - $74,324.00  Fewer Dermatitis Issues.  Fewer Respiratory Issues  Maintenance of the presses and press room dramatically reduced due to the elimination of the ÒfogÓ of lubricant, landing on all surfaces and impregnating electrical and mechanical components.  Housekeeping dramatically improved.  Customer to show improvements as part of their ISO 14001 obligations.

Following are two e-mails describing successful evaluations of Micro-Fluidization in aerospace manufacturing - the first is from the US, the second from the UK.

"Good morning Gentlemen, We were able this past week to implement your cutting tool lubrication system on two similar but different assemblies,and with great success. --The cutting tools stayed sharper longer. --Clean up was next to nothing. --Final hole diameter was well within tolerance specified. --The system is totally user friendly. --There was no down time due to clogging of the coolant lines. --In almost four days of operation (approx 25 hr.) we used only 4.5 oz of Coolube Everyone who was involved was impressed with how well it performed. I would like to thank you for the loaner system."

"Tests on the Unist Thru -the -Tool systems have moved on since my last communication with you. The units have finally received their COSHH (Health And Safety Standard) assessments and were found to be 10 times below legal requirements on atmospheric misting, when the optimum settings on oil volume and air pressures were evaluated. This has meant that one unit 85-4050-5A has actually made it on to the jig and that the operators have finally had sight of this equipment. Early responses are good in that the operators find it easy to use and it is much cleaner than using flood coolant."

Sawing is one of the most common applications where a trial is requested. A UNIST representative in the Southwest sent in the following description of a company in his territory.

"During a small show, our saw Coolubricator caught the attention of their maintenance supervisor for the foundry area who requested a demo. The challenge was to cut a 7Ó diameter solid bar steel. In less than a week they already called amazed with our unit and Coolube 2210EP. They had been changing saw blades every 24 hours before and with our Coolubricator they were using two blades per week. They have recommended us to many other facilities."
