Lubricant specialist Zeller+Gmelin is expanding its portfolio with the metalworking oil Multicut SE 13. The multifunctional machining oil is suitable for a wide range of machining and grinding processes – from turning and milling to demanding applications such as broaching or deep-hole drilling. With high thermal stability, low evaporation and minimal smoke formation, Multicut SE 13 has proven itself in classic gear manufacturing as well as in components for e-mobility.
Multicut SE 13 is suitable for a wide range of metalworking processes – including turning, milling, drilling, grinding, honing, broaching or deep-hole drilling. The lubrication performance remains stable even under widely varying machining conditions, for example in automated production lines or with complex component geometries. The combination of high-quality hydrocracked base oils, synthetic greases and coordinated EP additives ensures reliable performance even under high thermal and mechanical loads.
“During development, our focus was on a cutting oil that is both versatile and process-stable – even under extreme conditions,” explains Dr. Irene Kreitmeir, Product Manager at Zeller+Gmelin. “At the same time, our aim was to minimize oil mist and smoke development in order to reduce the strain on machine operators and improve workplace quality.”
Stable lubricating film at high temperatures
A key feature of the new lubricant is its thermal stability: the viscosity changes comparatively little when heated to high temperatures, which ensures a consistent lubricating effect even at intensive machining temperatures. The oil has a very low Noack evaporation loss, which not only reflects the high lubricant quality, but also significantly reduces lubricant consumption. Foaming is also very low, which ensures maximum process reliability, especially in automated processes.
Multicut SE 13 is also designed for a clean working environment. The formulation minimizes the formation of smoke and oil mist, which reduces the strain on machine operators and improves air quality in production.
Sustainability and approvals for demanding applications
The new Multicut lubricant is formulated in compliance with REACH and contains no critical ingredients. The combination of sustainable formulation and high technical performance meets both technical and regulatory requirements for modern manufacturing processes.
Biocompatibility in accordance with DIN EN ISO 10993-5:2009 also underlines the high level of responsibility for people and the environment in the development of lubricants. In addition, it has been approved for use in Junker grinding machines – an indicator of its suitability for ambitious grinding processes, such as those found in gear and drive technology.
Applicable from classic transmissions to e-mobility
The multifunctional oil combines high technical performance with a sustainable formulation and maximum process versatility. The non-water-miscible cooling lubricant is suitable for machining a wide range of materials – including cast iron, steel, stainless steel and selected aluminum alloys – and is used in classic industrial sectors such as gear manufacturing as well as in future-oriented fields such as component manufacturing for electric drives.
“Our new Multicut SE 13 is a universal solution for the metalworking industry – developed for maximum process reliability combined with high efficiency and sustainability,” summarizes Dr. Irene Kreitmeir.
