Eisele connectors supply spray dosing systems from HPM Technologie
In applications as diverse as metal machining and food production, it is necessary to apply cooling lubricants, grease, oil, alcoholic solutions and many other fluids to surfaces and components. In contrast to conventional nozzle systems, the spray heads from HPM Technologie ensure precise distribution of the exact amount of the required fluid, for low consumption. The supply of compressed air and liquids to the spray heads is achieved with high-quality all metal push-in fittings from Eisele.
Advantages for costs and production
The essential advantage of minimal lubrication is the enormous reduction of the lubricant quantities used compared with conventional cooling lubricant systems and concepts. Processes that use minimal lubrication require only a few millilitres per hour. The minimal application of fluid also reduces the environmental impact, operating costs and system contamination. According to the Bureau of Statistics, cooling lubricant costs make up 8 to 16 % of the total costs in metal machining processes and therefore represent a relevant cost pool that can be significantly reduced by using a modern minimal lubrication system.
Advantages due to low-maintenance components
To minimise maintenance and maximise user-friendliness, the spray heads at HPM Technologie are supplied with media using connection components from EISELE GmbH. The German company has more than 80 years of experience in high-quality all metal connectors for use with compressed air, gases, coolants, vacuum and liquids. Since 2013, Eisele has already been HPM’s primary supplier of connection components. This turns out to have been a good choice: “Eisele simply has excellent products, both visually and functionally,” says Steffen Hoffmann, member of management, in describing the cooperation with Eisele.
Guaranteed solid connections
For supplying the spray heads with lubricant for minimal lubrication, HPM uses straight push-in fittings of nickel-plated brass with a release sleeve from Series 14 and 14A of the Eisele BASICLINE. The push-in fittings are also equipped with a blue-coded aluminum sleeve, which unmistakably shows where to connect the blue compressed air tube. The push-in fittings with a release sleeve feature a larger gripping surface for release of the tube as compared with a simple release ring. This is especially advantageous in applications that use oils or cooling lubricants in which components near the drill or milling head – despite the high level of precision – can be covered with a spray medium.
