Traxit Total Use Approach For Sustainable Wire

Traxit introduces TOTAL USE approach to cut costs and improve sustainability in wire production

Innovative TOTAL USE approach transforms wire production: Traxit Wire Lubrication, a brand of Klüber Lubrication, focuses on sustainable efficiency through extended use of drawing lubricants.

The wire industry continuously faces the challenge of making its production processes more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable. With its innovative TOTAL USE concept, Traxit Wire Lubrication, a brand of Klüber Lubrication, has developed a forward-looking approach that sets new standards in the use of drawing lubricants.

Maximum utilization, minimal waste

Traditionally, drawing lubricants in wire production are changed at fixed intervals or when certain quality characteristics deteriorate, leading to unnecessary material costs and production downtime. The TOTAL USE approach, however, focuses on extending the stable “original” condition of the lubricant throughout its service life.

As long as the lubricant in the drawing box does not show signs of clumping, black residues, or dusting, it can continue to be used. Maintaining the stability of the lubricant ensures that the wire takes only the necessary amount for optimal lubrication, preventing clumping and crushing of the granules. Therefore, only targeted refilling is performed directly during the process, eliminating the need for routine lubricant changes.

This simple yet effective method significantly extends lubricant life and has proven successful in numerous customer applications. On average, drawing lubricant consumption can be reduced by approximately 20%.

Economic and ecological benefits in focus

The TOTAL USE approach offers multiple advantages:

- Cost reduction: lower lubricant consumption results in direct savings on production costs and reduced inventory requirements.
- Sustainability: reduced material consumption decreases both waste and CO₂ emissions across the entire supply chain — a key contribution to resource-efficient wire production.
- Production optimization: targeted refilling enables stable and uninterrupted drawing processes, avoiding unnecessary downtime due to premature lubricant changes.

Research and customer orientation as key success factors

Traxit Wire Lubrication leverages its strong R&D expertise and customer-focused approach to further develop TOTAL USE. Detailed process and production analyses at customer facilities allow for fine-tuning of existing lubricants, reducing consumption without compromising wire drawing quality.

The company continuously invests in developing and adapting its product range to meet the specific demands of wire production. The TOTAL USE approach exemplifies Traxit's commitment to combining economic efficiency with environmental responsibility.
