Minimal Quantity Lubrication (MQL)
Minimal Quantity Lubrication "MQL" may be in many cases a good alternative for cutting and non-cutting metal forming. Thanks to the excellent quality of our oil-free, environmentally-friendly processing fluid ISOmist® and the sprayers and nozzles co-developed by us, processes and applications with actual minimal quantity lubrication have been successfully implemented which were previously considered unsuitable for such systems. The devices are easy to install and simple to use. Most of the machines offered on the market can be retrofitted. The atomization (nebulization) of the fluid takes place right at the nozzle and can be precisely adjusted to the needs of the user. All devices, except for the SprayUnit MINI, can be expanded modularly at any time and the single pumps can be individually controlled if required. With our devices, we do not work according to the so-called "Venturi principle", but with an environmentally friendly, quantity-regulated and low-aerosol pump solution!
ISOmist® is not subject to labeling, free from mineral and vegetable oils and can be washed with water. No problematic mist or aerosols are formed when used correctly.
Typical applications are the use in milling, turning and drilling machines and all kinds of sawing machines. It can also be used in bending and forming machines, for steady rest lubrication in roll grinders and to lubricate and cool customized and specialized machines of all fields with varied materials. It is recommended where ever cleanliness, environmental protection and the protection of employees are of high importance.
Why change to dpi Minimal Quantity Lubrication "MQL"?
- Clean and safe work environment
- Cost reduction
- Higher productivity, more process liability
- Longer tool life
- Improvement of surface quality on the workpiece
- Significant reduction in coolant consumption
- Dry chips
- No oil mist suction is required anymore
- The usual disposal problems do not apply
- The existing machine park can be retrofitted
- No harmful vapors
- If the nozzles are optimally set a costly cleaning can be avoided in many cases
- Easy, quick and simple installation
- Additional fluid pumps can be retrofitted at any time (except SprayUnit-MINI)
- No more restrictions in line length, as with injector technology, which is especially important for special machines
- Fluid and machine are from a single source and therefore are perfectly matched to each other
ISOmist® + ISOmist®09
ISOmist® convinces with further good features:
- 100% water soluble
- biodegradable
- free of solvents, oils, chlorine and other substances that are hazardous to the environment and to the health of employees
- produces minimal fog and is otherwise practically odorless
- tested in accordance with Boeing Specification BAC 5008, sections 12.1 to 12.5, and is therefore also suitable for use in the aerospace industry
- it is not a burden on the machine and the environment
- no dangerous goods
ISOmist®09 It has extremely good lubricating properties and can be used for the machining of almost all metals including special steels, chrome and nickel alloys, titanium, Hastelloy, copper, brass, aluminum and many others. The product is preferably used where high demands are placed on surface quality as well as on process reliability.
Practical experience has shown that residues of ISOmist®09 on the surface of workpieces, have no impairment during subsequent welding or even painting, in most cases the belated "washing" can be waived (cost reduction).

MQL SprayUnit – LC 1.2 / 2.2 liter
One, two or four fluid pumps control the exact amount of fluid required from 0 mm³ to 41 mm³. The dosage of fluid can exactly be reproduced. The unit is 100% pneumatically controlled. The fluid is first nebulized at the spray nozzle with compressed air and then brought to the process site. Harmful aerosols and spray mist are thereby prevented.
Both, the quantity of fluid and compressed air can be adjusted separately at any time, depending on the process requirement and operational conditions. In contrast to the SprayUnit-ECO, the pump modules are not protected by a housing, but are always freely accessible.
MQL SprayUnit – ECO 1.2 / 2.2 liter
From two to ten fluid pumps, if required even more, control the exact amount of fluid required from 0 mm³ to 41 mm³. The dosage of fluid can exactly be reproduced. The unit is 100% pneumatically controlled. The fluid is first nebulized at the spray nozzle with compressed air and then brought to the process site. Harmful aerosols and spray mist are thereby prevented.
Both, the quantity of fluid and compressed air can be adjusted separately at any time, depending on the process requirement and operational conditions. In contrast to the SprayUnit-LC, the pump modules are protected by a housing.
MQL spray nozzle
All spray nozzles are connected via push-in-fittings (6mm) to the fluid supply of the SprayUnits.
UNImate liquid
UNImate establishes a new product family of metalworking fluids which consistently focuses on environmental protection, the user's health, highest functionality, process reliability and an optimal cost-benefit ratio!
Unimate is an oil-free, biodegradable, water-soluble, skin- and environmentally friendly metalworking fluid for use in manual metalworking processes.
UNImate is a revolutionary product for a wide range of applications, especially for manual machining of a wide variety of metals. These include hardened steel, iron, titanium, copper, brass, aluminum and many others.
The unique composition provides excellent performance even under extreme conditions, with very little smoke and odor, as well as absolute safety for people and the environment. The technical superiority to most oil- or ester-based cutting oils or pastes has been found in numerous tests. UNImate is used for drilling, boring, cutting, milling, tapping, forming and many other applications.
- UNImate is based on natural raw materials, non-toxic to the skin and the respiratory tract of the user. Also in case of accidental ingestion there is no danger to the health of the persons concerned.
- UNImate does not contain oil, chlorine, silicone, resin, acid or volatile hydrocarbons (VOC).
- UNImate is water soluble and 100% biodegradable.
- UNImate develops only slight odor and smoke even under extreme loads.
- Workpieces and machines can be cleaned by simply wiping them with a cloth or with water (working time and cost savings, environmental protection).
- The waste generated during processing must not be stored and disposed of as hazardous waste.
