FOCUS ON WHEEL MANUFACTURING
In alloy wheel manufacturing, lubrication is key to your business at every stage of production: process fluids for casting and forging; general lubrication of machinery and increasingly, fire resistant hydraulic fluids for robotics; and process cleaners for final stage manufacturing prior to shipment.
At Castrol, we have used our position as market leaders in aluminium machining fluids and focused on machining operations in aluminium wheel manufacture to create a solution that targets specific opportunities to improve your processes. We aim to improve productivity and Health, Safety and the Environment (HSE), deliver outstanding surface finish characteristics and cut the overall cost of lubrication activities in your business.
