A major automotive engine plant approached Castrol to work on a joint initiative aimed at reducing the volume of lubricant, process wash and metalworking fluid waste generated from its manufacturing operations.
A major automotive engine plant approached Castrol to work on a joint initiative aimed at reducing the volume of lubricant, process wash and metalworking fluid waste generated from its manufacturing operations.
Castrol were challenged to develop a new platform that would enable:
- Zero Waste
- Zero depletion
- Zero health and safety incidents
To add to the challenge, this new technology platform had to ensure that, once completed, it:
Working closely together, we developed and optimised a total lubricants and coolants system suited to the motor company’s manufacturing processes. Castrol’s total system approach focuses on ensuring the compatibility of the chemistry between interacting metalworking, honing, wash fluid and machine tool lubricants.
- Could be deployed as a common solution across all of the car manufacturer’s global powertrain operations
- Would, at a minimum, not compromise but improve the performance of traditional lubricants, metalworking fluids and process wash chemicals
- Would not adversely affect the capability of performance of machinery and any associated sub-componentry
