Lubrication Systems for Industrial Extrusion Presses

The efficacy of any tribological formulation is heavily dependent on precise, consistent application. We engineer our lubricants to integrate seamlessly with automated application systems, ensuring optimal film thickness and minimum consumption.

Precision Dosage in Automated Extrusion

In modern, high-volume continuous extrusion operations, manual swabbing or uncontrolled dripping is no longer viable. Inconsistent lubricant application leads to variable friction, erratic press pressures, and unpredictable die wear. Over-lubrication causes fluid entrapment, leading to blistering on the extruded profile, while under-lubrication risks immediate die failure.

Furthermore, the rheological properties of the lubricant—such as kinematic viscosity and shear thinning behavior—must be perfectly matched to the application hardware to prevent nozzle clogging and ensure uniform dispersion across the billet or die face.

Synergy Between Chemistry and Hardware

PROMET formulates wax-based lubricants with precisely controlled viscosity profiles designed for electrostatic spraying, micro-dosing systems, and atomized aerosol application. Our products maintain consistent flow characteristics across the ambient temperature range of the press shop.

By ensuring a continuous, homogenous micro-film application, plants achieve higher repeatability. This technical synergy allows for a significant reduction in overall lubricant consumption, lower environmental impact, and highly stabilized process parameters throughout the entire production run.
