MQL in practice - costs & environment
The main advantage of minimum quantity lubrication is the enormous reduction in the amount of lubricant used in comparison to conventional cooling lubrication systems and concepts. Unlike conventional flood lubrication or large-area application, minimal quantity lubrication only requires a few millilitres per hour for the respective process. In addition, the minimal fluid application reduces the impact on people and the environment and is easy on the wallet.
