Plastics processing
Reliable lubricant solutions for consistent processes and high dimensional accuracy
Injection moulding machines, extruders and thermoformers operate under high thermal and mechanical stress – often in continuous operation, with tight cycle times and using demanding materials. Any malfunction in hydraulic systems, any wear on moving parts or any reduction in the separating effect can lead to production downtime, material losses or tolerance deviations.
All product groups are already listed. Until the new online shop is available, the links for each group will direct you to the central product list. This way, you can keep track of everything at all times. Further documentation can be found on myChemicals - your personal platform for technical data sheets, brochures and more.
Product groups: Plastics processing
Efficient, reproducible and cost-effective operation requires lubricants that maintain consistent performance under these conditions – regardless of thermal stress, moisture or residues from the manufacturing process.
Process reliability, efficiency and component quality in plastics production
- Stability under continuous thermal stress: Selected LAEMMLE Chemicals lubricants remain stable even at high temperatures, under dynamic pressure fluctuations and during long operating periods. They protect against lubricant film breakdown, minimise viscosity fluctuations and thus ensure consistent cycle times in injection moulding, extrusion and thermoforming.
- Reducing wear and friction on moving components: Lubricants with carefully selected additives from laemmle-chemicals ensure an effective reduction in wear and friction on bearings, guides and ejection mechanisms – for longer service life and extended maintenance intervals.
- Reliable demoulding and component quality: Special release agents and mould release sprays ensure residue-free component removal, even with complex geometries or filled plastics. This helps to reduce scrap, shorten cleaning intervals, improve surface quality and extend the service life of moulding tools.
- Maintenance optimisation for tight service windows: Formulations suitable for centralised lubrication and long oil service life simplify maintenance management. Ideal for facilities with a high degree of automation and limited maintenance staff.
Technical lubricant solutions for plastics processing
- Hydraulic systems in injection moulding and extrusion plants: Hydraulic oils with high shear and temperature stability ensure precise control of the machine axes – even with short cycle times, high flow rates and severe load cycling.
- Compressors and vacuum pumps for air supply: Oxidation-stable compressor and vacuum pump oils ensure a reliable supply of compressed air – low-residue, resistant to ageing and suitable for continuous use in energy-intensive production lines.
- Centralised lubrication systems for guides, clamping systems and ejection mechanisms: Specialised lubricants with high adhesion ensure an even supply to all friction points – for longer maintenance intervals and reduced manual relubrication, even with fine metering points and complex motion sequences.
- Greases and release agents for bearings, slides and mould parting lines: High-performance greases with excellent water resistance, thermal stability and load-bearing capacity protect heavily stressed components from wear. Technical sprays and release agents ensure clean, residue-free demoulding – for consistent dimensional accuracy, reduced cleaning cycles and higher surface quality.
Services for stable processes and longer service life
- Technical advice and condition monitoring: Dedicated contacts are on hand to advise you on product selection, changeovers and optimisations. Oil analyses at the LAEMMLE Tec Centre (LTC) enable well-informed decisions to improve efficiency, extend service life and minimise risk.
- Service, maintenance and repair: The digital Roxor Machine Tool (RMT) simplifies planning, documentation and condition monitoring. In addition, professional oil sampling, the hire of hydraulic oil filtration systems and other on-site services ensure smooth operation – even for complex machine fleets.
- Optimised lubricant logistics: Availability tailored to your needs and flexible delivery concepts ensure a continuous supply of lubricants for uninterrupted production processes.
- Sustainable disposal: Efficient used oil take-back processes enable resource-efficient production cycles and legally compliant lubricant disposal.
When process stability, mould quality and cycle time matter. Our specialists will help you select the right lubrication solutions for production environments subject to thermal and mechanical stress.
Coolant management
In collaboration with Brisco Systems, we ensure that your machine tools are supplied with the optimum amount of cooling lubricant at all times. This enhances process reliability in your operation – even during unmanned shifts. Thanks to comprehensive real-time monitoring, all relevant KSS parameters – such as pH, concentration, electrical conductivity, temperature and bacterial growth – are precisely controlled. The result: reduced tooling costs and lower KSS consumption ensure more cost-effective operation. We would be happy to advise you on request and demonstrate pilot systems in action so that you can see the benefits for yourself.
