Problem:
A recent Fortech customer, a leading producer of automotive exhaust components, had relied on a heavy-duty chlorinated stamping emulsion to lubricate their metal stamping dies. While this emulsion offered extreme pressure protection, it wasn’t ideal for their specific application. The emulsion caused issues with:
- Frequent Die Re-coating
- Excessive Scrap Rate
- Press Down Time
Solution:
The customer approached Fortech to discuss these challenges. Fortech, recognizing the limitations of the current product for this application, recommended its newest solution: TechDraw FT907.
Results:
Transitioning to TechDraw FT907 yielded dramatic improvements:
- TechDraw FT907 eliminated the ongoing costs associated with the previous product by reducing die re-coating frequency and downtime, saving an estimated $14,000/month.
- TechDraw FT907 significantly reduced the scrap rate, keeping them in alignment with their scrap goals.
- TechDraw FT907 greatly reduced the amount of downtime, allowing for more complete scheduled production runs without interruption.
