During routine visits, DPJF Marketing, OPC, noticed significant challenges at Kinergy‘s manufacturing facility. The floor shop was plagued by a foul odor, foaming, and skin irritation complaints from employees. These issues were attributed to the coolant being used during machining processes. Such challenges not only impacted the health and comfort of the workforce but also posed potential risks to productivity and overall working conditions. To address these concerns, DPJF Marketing, OPC suggested Blaser Swisslube’ s coolant.

A meeting was scheduled between Blaser specialist Vu Hai and Mr Allan Toriaga- Operations Manager of Kinergy wherein Liquid Tool approach was discussed. A detailed plan was set-up to define the project with clear test objective. Kinergy agreed to implement the test. The test was closely monitored, with both technical teams working together.

The test was a resounding success. After switching to Blaser coolant, the foul odor on the floor shop disappeared, foaming was eliminated, and the employees no longer experienced skin irritation. These improvements contributed to a healthier and more comfortable working environment, ultimately enhancing the overall efficiency of Kinergy’s manufacturing processes. With these issues resolved, Kinergy was able to maintain its focus on innovation, product development, and delivering high-quality results for their customers.

Mr. Allan Toriaga from Kinergy said: “We are highly happy with the association. Blaser has not only helped us in maintaining the better health conditions for our operators but also efficiently maintained the temperature required for our processes”.
