Machine Process

 
Lubricant should be collected directly from the die box. There must be commitment to the process from users. If discard is treated as waste, and not as valuable resource then it is likely that other foreign matter will be gathered for processing; potentially causing unsatisfactory results. The discard (contaminated lubricant) is not waste, as it contains good lubricant available for recovery. Neither chemicals, heat, nor water are utilized in the process. The recovery process is currently limited to ferrous and stainless wire drawing operations.

 

Contaminant is comprised of:

  • Metal/metal oxides which are magnetically attractable
  • Burnt soap (surprisingly, this too is magnetically attractable!!)

Separation - “...the process of magnetically attracting and splitting the burnt soap and ferrous elements from the unused soap...”

The machine processes discard collected from die boxes and by using patented magnetic separation techniques, contaminants are removed leaving the unused lubricant available for re-use.

The separation process can also split conjoined particles of different natures. This is termed “relative constituent shearing” - (RCS)

Granulation - Dust (fines) in the recovered product is able to be separated out and re-granulated. This ensures that the desired particle distribution can be controlled according to operator preference. The amount of granulation can be varied to achieve the desired operational characteristics.

Dust Removal - A variably controlled polishing process is used to manage dust levels in the finished product.
