For many leading manufacturers, KYOWA provides a technical support package for supply and management of Metal Quest cutting fluids. Effective Lubrication management provides reductions on your total cutting fluid spend.
Significant manufacturing efficiencies are provided through:
- Greater asset utilization
- Reduced downtime
- Improved production rates
- Reduced rejection rates
- Extended tool life
- Reduced coolant usage
- Reduced waste disposal costs
+ Lubrication Management Surveys (click for more)
KYOWA offers an initial in depth manufacturing site survey carried out by metalworking fluid technicians and fluid management consultants. The survey looks at all operations and processes impacted by the cutting fluid, resulting in a detailed plan of potential improvements using KYOWA technology. The survey provides a plan of how costs can be saved across the full manufacturing process, rather than simply look at “cost per litre” savings. During the survey process, our engineers will look at:
- Fluid technology on site
- Strength
- Tooling cost
- Waste management
- Maintenance costs
- Downtime minimization
- Health and safety requirements
- Training on lubricant ‘best practices’ to employees
Following each site visit we will provide customers with instructions of necessary actions as well as all of the necessary Health Safety and Environment (HSE) compliant support documents to ensure that you are able to get an immediate overview of fluid condition.
+ Equipment Support (click for more)
As part of our customer support, we assist customers with the equipment required for careful maintenance and handling of cutting fluids including:
- Oil skimmers
- Mixing units
- Spill equipment
+ Fluid Disposal (click for more)
We can advise of contractors for the safe collection, transportation and disposal of waste oil.

Fluids Live is an easy to navigate, web based, recording, tracking and reporting tool with integrated KPI measurements; to give maintenance and production engineers immediate and remote access to the current condition of fluids in use.
Information can be updated within 48 hours from the time of collection of data giving users all of the information from which to make informed decisions on maintenance scheduling, production planning and other operational activities.
Reporting data is broken down to the necessary levels, from company-wide to a specific machine, illustrating consumption figures, providing in-depth information for management teams.
STANDARD WEEKLY REPORTING
Shows consumption broken down to the required level. Allows reason to be inputted, i.e. leak, normal consumption, cleanout etc. This clearly illustrates the reasons behind consumption figures, providing more information to management teams.
EXCEPTIONS REPORTING
Highlights high consumption. Ensures leaks do not go unnoticed, providing the opportunity for quick reaction, thus reducing consumption costs.
CONSUMPTION REPORTING
Illustrates product usage at any level, from department to an individual machine.
AUTOMATED SCHEDULING
Allows management to schedule workload and edit as required, with no limit to the number of schedules able to be planned.
DATA CAPTURE
Capture data easily via handheld units. Data available to management as soon as synchronization is complete. An alternative manual data entry option is also available.
