Are Contaminants Interfering with your Metal Processing?

Trucent is dedicated to a process-oriented approach to metals processing and metalworking fluids (MWFs). This process allows our clients to reliably meet metalworking fluid spec, prevent corrosion, recover scrap, ensure quality, and protect both tool and fluid life. 

Trucent fluid management teams understand the full set of challenges that come with manufacturing processes that rely on metalworking fluids. Our teams include experts in fluid separation at a fundamental level, as well as engineers with practical experience in centrifugal purification, fluid filtration, manufacturing, and specific metalworking applications.  A Trucent team member will work with you to find the right intervention, use the right technology, and match it to the right application.

We deploy our technology and services in a variety of industrial sectors of the metal processing industry. Typically, we focus on removing unwanted water, tramp oil, particles, and contaminants from our customer’s oil or water-based fluids. For example, in aluminum metal forming, we often employ on-site distillation to remove contaminants such as hydraulic fluid, which, if left untreated, can lead to staining on the aluminum metal surface during rolling processes.  In copper wire drawing applications, we use centrifugal separators to capture and remove coatings and solid particulates that could affect the final product’s quality. For steel, our solutions are often used to keep wash baths free of oil, dirt, and metal fines before galvanizing. Three-phase centrifugation works well in these applications. But in every case, the opportunity to reuse fluids saves money and leads to a more sustainable process.
