The minimum quantity spray systems of the HPM technology reduce the liquid consumption in your process to a minimum. The aim is to supply the process with as little as possible but as much as necessary medium. In this way, the costs for the fluid used in your production can be reduced considerably. At the same time, the workpieces and chips remain dry. As a result, downstream cleaning processes can be partially eliminated (depending on the fluid used and the application). This saves costs, time and space.

In addition, employees are exposed to significantly lower emissions. In this way, the most important resource, people, can be sustainably protected. As a result, personnel costs can be reduced in the long term.

By reducing the friction between the tool and the workpiece, the generation of heat on the tool can be significantly reduced. This protects the tools and at the same time increases the tool life. In some cases, increases of 1000% can be realized. In addition, the dimensional accuracy of the workpieces is also improved.

When developing our products, we look back on over 70 years of experience in the development of spray heads and the associated systems. This enables us to ensure that your process functions with absolute process reliability in both metal-cutting and non-cutting machining. Our application engineers are always available to answer any questions you may have on the subject of setting up and using our systems.

Areas of application include:

• Drilling, turning, milling, chamfering, punching, die spraying, strip and coil wetting, forming, engraving, tube bending, roller wetting, spinning, nibbling, flow forming, fine blanking, threading, profiling, broaching, high speed machining, chain lubrication, grooving, deep drawing, coining, pressing, countersinking, rust prevention, grinding, finishing, preserving, cutting, sawing, punch wetting, reaming, punching, deep hole drilling

All systems of the HPM technology are designed in a modular principle. This means that, in addition to our standard devices, systems can also be configured to meet your specific needs and processes and remain absolutely attractive in terms of price. Depending on the application, we distinguish between pressureless and pressurized systems. Here, too, our application engineers are at your disposal for advice and assistance during project planning.

The HPM minimum quantity lubrication system differs from conventional spray systems in essential points:

• No wearing parts on the spray head
• Robust even under the most adverse conditions
• Minimal and reproducible liquid consumption
• largely maintenance-free
• modular design
• absolutely reliable

Almost all liquids up to a viscosity of 2300 mm²/sec at 20°C can be sprayed. Excluded here are paints, resins and adhesives.

For low-viscosity liquids, the vacuum at our spray head draws the liquid directly from the supply tank. For higher viscosity liquids, we use a pressurized supply tank. This presses the liquid up to the nozzle. There the atomization takes place by the compressed air.

The minimum liquid quantity is adjusted directly at our spray heads. In this way, consumption can be adjusted continuously and optimally for your process. Once set, the liquid quantity always remains constant.

By increasing the spray air pressure, more liquid is demanded to the spray head. This means that, in addition to the setting on the spray head, the amount of liquid applied can also be regulated via the spray air pressure. In principle, our systems operate in the lower pressure range (from 0.5 bar). This prevents heavy misting of the liquid.

In principle, any number of nozzles can be connected. Thanks to our modular design, even the largest transf plants can easily be supplied via a central system. Our standard units are equipped with up to 6 connections for spray heads.

Our systems are equipped with electric or pneumatic controlled valves for separate control of liquid and air. This allows very short cycle times.

In addition to the low cost of using the appropriate fluid, there are low costs due to air consumption. Otherwise, no further costs are incurred when using an HPM minimum quantity lubrication system.

Due to the modular design of our systems, they can be adapted to the most diverse requirements of your processing machine in the best possible way.
