Forming lubricants
About AMCOL
AMCOL is a long-standing provider of specialized metalworking compounds, drawing on over 70 years of experience in formulating and manufacturing. The company delivers high-performance solutions designed to enhance productivity, extend tool life, and improve operational safety across various industrial applications.
Product and Service Offerings
AMCOL's core offerings include precision lubrication systems, high-performance coolants, and advanced corrosion inhibitors. Their Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) systems, like the 6000E (electronically controlled) and 6000P (pneumatically controlled) Series Precision Applicators, are paired with CANMIST lubricants for applications such as circular sawing of aluminum and steel profiles. The 6000-ETC Controller provides electronic timing and fluid volume adjustment, ensuring precise and repeatable lubrication with features like fixed piston stroke injectors and atomizing air pressure.
For aluminum extrusion, AMCOL offers systems like the 3049 Automatic Shear Lubrication for hot shearing, and the 3063 Liquid Billet Lubrication system, which applies water-based 46 ILX EJECTEZE via rotating nozzles. The 3500 Electrostatic Powder Billet Lubrication system uses boron nitride powder (410 BNP EJECTEZE) for effective release. The 325 LX EJECTEZE acts as a manual billet release and anti-seize compound, helping to eliminate snap lines. For welded tube and roll forming, 62 RP SPINDLE LUBE prevents roll tooling seizing.
The company also provides CHARCOOL coolants for CNC machining, welded tube, and cold roll forming, designed for maximum tool life and sump stability. Dedicated filtration systems, including the 3076 Coolant Purification System and SF160 SURECLEAN Mobile Coolant Reclamation System, efficiently remove tramp oil and solids. For corrosion protection, AMCOL offers the CANT RUST series and the 3200S Electronically Controlled Tube Coating System, applying coatings in-line with a touchscreen interface and PLC technology.
Key Differentiators
AMCOL distinguishes itself through its proven technology and commitment to precision. Their MQL systems, combined with high-performance lubricants, aim to create cleaner, drier working environments, reduce lubricant consumption, and significantly extend blade and tool life. The integration of electronic controls and PLC technology in many systems ensures consistent, repeatable application and allows for detailed process control, minimizing manual adjustments and maximizing uptime. The company's focus on application-specific formulations and engineered spray equipment provides tailored solutions for complex industrial challenges, improving both product quality and operational efficiency.
