Application: Bi-Tron Grease and Penetrating Lubricant in plant machinery. User: Automotive production facility in San Antonio, Texas.

(Reference letter written by the Maintenance Manager) "My responsibility here is to primarily make sure all our equipment is operating efficiently. Our main client is the biggest car company in the world and we cannot afford costly down time. We makes a machine called Orimper 6 WB which we use in our plants. Our maintenance personal usually change lubrication on these machines after about one week's worth of operation. I used Bi-Tron Grease and the results were incredible. Lubrication was changed after 4 weeks. We were impressed that Bi-Tron Grease did not break down for such a long time, causing much less production down time. We also used Bi-Tron Penetrating Lubricant spray throughout the plant with too many success stories to recount here." Maintenance Manager Bi-Tron - In Machine Shops: Our company is a major producer of high precision multiple spindle drill heads for the machine tool industry. Our equipment is used by a wide variety of high production companies including, but not limited to:    General Motors Corporation    Ford Motor Company    Chrysler Corporation    General Electric    Dana Corporation    Whirlpool    Navistar    Caterpillar    Briggs and Stratton In the production of our product, we employ standard equipment to machine cast iron, aluminium, steel alloys and bronze. Recently we started to utilize Bi-Tron products in our plant both as a lubricant and as a cutting fluid. The results that we have had with the penetrating lubricant have been nothing short of amazing. We have been able to increase feeds and speeds in some cases as much as 50% and at the same time, improve surface finish and extend tool life by up to 3 times. Probably the most dramatic result we have experienced is the elimination of aluminium bonding to cutting tools even when cutting dry (i.e. no coolant). Bi-Tron Penetrating Lubricant and Engine Treatment in machine shop applications: 1. Swiss Precision Parts: Operation - Special Grooving O.D. Material - 52100 Die Tool Steel Coolant - Oil Requirements - Must hold Tolerance of 0.0002 in on diameter and 64 microns in on Finish. Customer usually maintained these parameters for 1 shift - 8 hours - 2200 pcs. After applying a few drops of Bi-Tron Penetrating Lubricant on the cutting edge of the carbide tip, the customer cut metal and held all parameters for 2.5 shifts - 20 hours - 7800 pcs +. 2. Aluminum Brake Piston Parts: Material - Cast Aluminum. Operation - Drilling. Tool Used - # 64 Drill, Tin coated. With coollant , customer normally ran 2800 to 3600 pieces before drill would dull. After spraying drill with Bi-Tron Penetrating Lubricant, he drilled 8600 holes without using coollant. He is presently using the Penetrating Lubricant on all drilling, tapping and turning. 3. Various Parts: Material - Stainless Steel (300 & 400 Series). Machine tool - Bridgeport Milling Tool Used - Insertable Face Mill & End mill. Machine shop owner with 40 + years as machinist, is getting 30% to 40% better life of H.S.S. tools as well as on carbide with very good finish on flat parts. 4. Aluminum Rails for Packing Conveyor: Operation - Side Milling. Part - 86" long. Problem - excessive build-up on tool. Operator would have to stop every 12" to 18" to "knock off" or remove material that had welded or galled to the cutting tool. After spraying Bi-Tron Penetrating Lubricant on end mill, he machined 4 pcs (total of 344 inches) with minimal buildup and also a 30% increase in production. 5. Turning of Diameters on an Open Lathe: Material - Aluminum 12" Dia. Problem - Finish requirement on part. Coollant splashing everywhere. After spraying Bi-Tron on the carbide insert, operator turned off coolant and started to machine again. The finish on the part was greatly improved and had 30% to 35% increase on tool life. 6. Grinding between centers: Machinists will normally have to put a small amount of grease on the centers of the grinding machine to keep heat and squealing down to a minimum so they can keep their part running longer. This is a coolant problem, especially for spindle manufacturers where high and close tolerances have to be met. Spraying Bi-Tron lubricant directly on the nose of the centers, operators received 30%-35% better wear life, hence better productivity and lower downtime. 7. Carbide Insert. MFG: Carboloy, grade 370: Using Bi-Tron resulted in: a) Improved finish of parts. b) Increased life of the inserts. c) Lower machining noise. d) Reduces temperature of material during machining. 8. Tapping: Material - 316 Stainless Steel. Operation - hole tapping. Without Bi-Tron was getting 12-14 holes tapped before tap would dull. Now oiling the taps with Bi-Tron, the same taps are used for 150 holes with higher speed and improved finish that translated to considerable increase in productivity and net profit.
