Reinvention and innovation 

Launched in tandem at the Southern Manufacturing exhibition in Farnborough and the Intec international trade fair in Leipzig, Germany, Novamet 1000 S (also known as Bohrmilch 4.0) was a special focus at both shows.

Steeped in German engineering history, the word ‘Bohrmilch’ translates as ‘drilling milk’ and is celebrated as a quality yet versatile machining coolant. Taking this tradition forward, with a focus on high-performance, Oemeta has reinvented this concept for modern-day machining in the form of Bohrmilch 4.0. It is a water-miscible coolant which embraces the traditional values of Bohrmilch, updated using the latest cutting-edge technology and specially selected raw materials.

Designed for today’s advanced metalworking processes and legislation, Novamet 1000 S has proven itself in trials across varying materials and industries. One of the product’s key features is its surface finishing. The product is designed for use on specialist materials and results have shown that it is particularly impressive when used on aluminium alloys and aluminium wrought alloys, making it (but not limiting it to be) an ideal coolant to use in the aerospace industry.

Novamet 1000 S has a high oil content giving it good lubricity and low tool wear alongside a number of other qualities, which include high material compatibility, excellent corrosion protection, the ability to work under high pressure, diverse process capabilities, low foaming, and low maintenance.

With health and safety legislation high on everyone’s agenda, the fluid ticks many boxes. It is free from boron and formaldehyde and has good skin and environmental compatibility and low odour.

One of the benefits offered by Oemeta UK is a free coolant performance benchmarking service. Oemeta understands that coolants are not always the top of an engineering company’s list, but once the right cutting fluids are in place it can mean positive improvements in many areas across the shop floor.

Backed by many customers, Oemeta UK offers benchmarking as the ideal solution to help find the right cutting fluid with no financial implications.

The service is an opportunity to have your cutting fluids analysed, improvements/KPIs discussed, followed up with the proposal of a solution. Oemeta collects samples from your operational machines, which are then analysed by experienced lab technicians using industry standard tests.

Based on the data-driven results, and considering health and safety, cost reduction, reporting, waste management and Oemeta’s continuous improvement programme, the company will offer a comprehensive solution to meet specific needs.
