Industrial glass cutting

Bohle presents new cutting fluids

With the new Silberschnitt cutting fluids, Bohle AG is now launching a completely new product range that has been even better matched to Bohle's other cutting technology system components. This is important for the quality of glass cutting because, especially in series production, perfectly matched elements are essential for the respective applications.

Over several years, application engineers and product developers from Bohle have therefore incorporated their experience into the new products in order to achieve even better results in machine cutting applications. Thus, the company rounds off its own cutting technology range with a now fully integrated solution and can thus provide even more well-founded process consulting.

How sustainable are the new silver cutting fluids?

In addition to the improved cutting performance, the Bohle developers were also concerned about sustainability and product safety. Thus, only high-purity synthetic lubricants are used, which have a significantly improved environmental balance than conventional mineral oil products and are harmless to health.

The high quality of the new Silberschnitt product range is also reflected in the fact that most of the world's major glass manufacturers have already qualified the new cutting fluids for their production. The new range includes both evaporative and wash-off variants.

Cutting fluid as an important quality factor

In industrial glass cutting, it is the detail that counts. By using the high-quality Silberschnitt cutting fluids, the cutting wheel used is already lubricated in the wheel holder and thus the friction to the other system components is minimised. This already significantly improves the rolling behaviour on the glass. The result is a longer service life for the wheels and thus less machine downtime.

More important, however, is the improved penetration of the cutting wheel into the glass surface due to the modern cutting fluids and the physical-chemical support during the cut opening. This makes processing more flexible, reduces the required cutting forces and significantly increases the edge quality. Among other things, the formation of splinters and micro-cracks, which can have a negative impact on edge strength, is significantly reduced.

In addition, the cutting fluid binds the glass dust created during the cutting process and can be evaporated or washed off without leaving any residue. In this way, users avoid consequential damage in the downstream process steps. A first-class cutting result ultimately guarantees a stable production process and saves costs.

In which variants are the new cutting fluids offered?

The new range of Silberschnitt cutting fluids serves the different needs of customers with five variants so far. In addition to three evaporation times, Bohle AG offers two further washable cutting fluids which differ in their viscosity. All five variants are available in 5, 30 and 200 litre containers.
