Ultra-Micro® PurgeX® dispenses 10% of the volume of standard PurgeX®. This very small amount (.0012 cubic inches or less) is making a big splash in many different industries.
The need to precisely control the level of dispensing is driven by increasingly intricate machinery and higher standards of cleanliness. The goal is to distribute the minimum lubricant requirement over the longest amount of time, thereby reducing overall friction and eliminating waste.
Examples of major industries that utilize Ultra-Micro® PurgeX®
Automotive
Industry
The automotive industry relies on robotics to accomplish detailed assembly. Ultra-Micro® PurgeX® is used to lubricate assembly machines and conveyors in auto plants in the U.S., Japan, and China.
Synthetic
Lubricants
Synthetic lubricants are known for their eco-friendly properties and refined blends. Manufacturers of synthetic lubricants often recommend and even supply Ultra-Micro® PurgeX® to their customers. Synthetic lubricants are fed, for instance, in minute quantities through the tip of a metal cutting tool. This process eliminates the lubricant bath while improving the quality of the machining. This has become known as “near dry machining.”
Baking
Industry
The challenges of lubricating increase where heat is a factor. Not only does heat contribute to the amount of friction, it can also quickly break down oil and grease. Oven manufacturers rely on Ultra-Micro® PurgeX® to keep lubricant strategically placed and replenished on chains, rollers, and conveyors. The smallest possible amount of lubricant is used to avoid product contamination.
