Bearings
HIGH-PERFORMANCE METALWORKING FLUIDS, CLEANERS, CORROSION PREVENTIVES AND GREASES CAN HELP REDUCE COSTS AND IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY IN MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
Castrol’s Liquid Engineers have many years’ experience of working with the manufacturing industry. We recognise the continually evolving challenges of this fast-paced sector and the demands placed on bearing manufacture processes. We understand the pressure you face when it comes to reducing costs while improving productivity in order to remain competitive. This drives our Liquid Engineers to develop flexible lubricant solutions, services, training and advice designed to help you to reduce downtime and improve the efficiency of your bearings manufacturing processes. Strong relationships with Machine Tool Manufacturing (MTM) Original Equipment Manufacturers help keep us informed of industry developments to engineer solutions that meet the latest demands. Our experts will help you select the most appropriate metalworking fluids and cleaners to keep your business competitive, and help you meet industry and legislative requirements.
