BECOLD Cryogenic Lubrication System

BeCold equipment technology combines Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) with cooling provided by liquid CO2. The combination of these two systems results in excellent machining performance.

HRE Hidraulic offers different BeCold equipment series which can be adapted to different needs.

WHY USE cryogenic machining?

As a result of the industrial sector becoming highly competitive, reducing production costs together with the use of technologies with lower environmental impact are vital in the development of new applications.

BeCold equipment is fitted with an innovative system which combines Minimum Quality Lubrication (MQL) and CO2 cryogenic cooling to achieve performances equivalent or sometimes even better than traditional wet machining.

Removing or reducing conventional cutting fluids is paramount to succeed and the advantages offered by Cryogenic Machining make it the best option. The benefits are the following:

• cost SAVING.
• production BENEFITS
• environmental BENEFITS

MQL uses minimum quantities of biodegradable oils and CO2 captured from a primary process and later reused in a secondary industrial process as recycled gas, maintaining the inherent environmental production harmlessness of Cryogenic Machining.

To achieve our goals, we combine our own knowledge with the highest quality components thanks to strategic alliances with world leaders.
