In the CNC machining process, precision, efficiency, and repeatability are what count. However, the factor that often determines the quality of the entire process is sometimes invisible at first glance. Coolant—a medium working in the background—affects tool life, machine condition, operator safety, and the final machining result. This is exactly why choosing a proven solution, such as Blasocut 201, is a strategic production decision.
Why is coolant quality so important?
A well-chosen and properly maintained coolant impacts every element of the production process. A stable emulsion translates to consistent tool performance, reduced wear on machine components, and predictable results. Conversely, neglected coolant often leads to corrosion, accelerated tool wear, loss of surface quality, and unpleasant odors from bacterial growth.
In practice, this means that emulsion quality directly affects production costs—both operational and maintenance. The more stable the coolant, the less downtime, the less frequent the tank cleanings, and the longer the machine operates without interruption.
BIO-CONCEPT – technology that naturally stabilizes the emulsion
Blasocut 201 utilizes the patented BIO-CONCEPT technology, which serves as the foundation of its exceptional stability. The concentrate contains naturally occurring, controlled "positive" bacteria that inhibit the growth of undesirable microorganisms responsible for spoiling the coolant. As a result, the emulsion remains clean, fresh, and stable for a significantly longer period without the need for additional biocides.
The BIO-CONCEPT mechanism translates not only into savings but also into better working conditions. The absence of unpleasant odors, a lower risk of irritation, and easier machine hygiene maintenance are all elements that make a real difference in the daily work of operators.
Blasocut 201 – coolant that supports your process
The new version of Blasocut 201 from Blaser Swisslube is a product for shops that expect stability and high quality, regardless of the material being machined. Thanks to its formula, it is ideal for short-run production and facilities where material types change frequently—from steel to aluminum. It is resistant to variations in water hardness, making it easy to implement in virtually any production environment.
One of the greatest advantages of this coolant is its impact on machine cleanliness. Excellent washing and rinsing properties keep both the parts and the machine interior in better condition, reducing the frequency of maintenance. The emulsion is also compatible with way oils, ensuring it does not destabilize and can operate longer without requiring replacement.
All of this makes Blasocut 201 a solution that combines performance, ecology, and safety—values that are crucial in modern production facilities today.
In what applications does Blasocut 201 perform best?
Blasocut 201 is valued by companies working on both machining centers and CNC lathes. It is recommended for machining aluminum, steel, and mixed materials, making it an ideal solution for shops handling short runs and variable production. It also performs excellently in centralized cooling systems, where stability and microbiological resistance play a key role.
FAQ
Is Blasocut 201 suitable for aluminum?
Yes, the product provides very high corrosion protection and performs excellently in the machining of aluminum and mixed materials.
Does the coolant really not require biocides?
Yes. Thanks to BIO-CONCEPT technology, the product is naturally resistant to the growth of harmful bacteria, which eliminates the need for additional chemicals.
How long can the emulsion last?
With proper monitoring, the coolant maintains its stability for many months. In practice, this allows for reducing the frequency of replacements to a minimum.
Does Blasocut 201 work in hard water?
It is resistant to both hard and soft water ranging from 5 to 20 GH, making it suitable for installation in virtually any facility.
How should a machine be properly prepared before the first fill of Blasocut 201?
The machine should be disinfected before cleaning by filling it with a special agent recommended by BLASER, then the interior of the machine must be cleaned and the tank emptied. Fill the machine with a 2% concentration of Blasocut 201 coolant and flush the system. Drain the flushing coolant and fill the tank with coolant at the target concentration.
What concentration parameters are recommended for various machining operations?
Recommended concentration depends on the type of material being machined and the machining process. For medium machining of commonly used materials, a concentration of 7% is recommended.
How does Blasocut 201 perform in modern filtration systems?
Blasocut 201 coolant is suitable for all filtration systems. However, its use should be consulted for systems with high-speed separators and those using UV lamps, which destroy the bacterial flora. In the case of Blasocut coolant, this would disrupt the microbiological balance that is crucial to the BIO-CONCEPT method.
How often should the pH and emulsion concentration be monitored?
For top-ups of up to 10% of the tank volume per week, monitoring the concentration and pH level once a week is completely sufficient. In the case of larger top-up volumes, twice a week is recommended.
