Cleaner, greener, and more efficient: Oil-free solutions for aluminium machining
A leading US automotive supplier revolutionised its aluminium machining and cleaning process with HAKUFLUID ® 185 and HAKUPUR 439-1, achieving cleaner parts, extended bath life, and improved sustainability.
PENICO
GAUGES LIMITED
Penico Gauges Ltd( Precision Engineers) is the market leader in the design & manufacture of Mould Gauge Equipment
Switching to HAKUFLUID ® 185, a mineral oil-free, watersoluble coolant, eliminated oil contamination in the HAKUPUR 439-1 neutral cleaner bath, preventing re-contamination of aluminium die-cast housings. This ensured consistent cleanliness and longer bath life— extended from one to three weeks— while maintaining productivity.
Trials confirmed foamfree, stable cleaning baths, reducing maintenance and non-conforming parts. The plant further optimised efficiency by lowering bath temperatures from 60 ° C to 40 ° C, cutting energy costs and enhancing biostability.
By embracing oil-free technology, the supplier not only met strict cleanliness standards but also significantly reduced environmental impact— setting a new benchmark for sustainable aluminium machining and cleaning.

Micronics UX5000 ATEX USM
Safe & Accurate Flow Monitoring Without Compromise
Introducing the Micronics UX5000 Clampon Flow Meter for use in Hazardous Environments. A high performance ATEX USM, made in the UK with a remarkably low price point.
ABLE, as Micronics’ exclusive UK representatives for the Model UX5000, are delighted to announce the arrival of a truly technically elite and commercially advantageous clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter.
The UX5000 flow meter uses a crosscorrelation transit time algorithm to achieve precise flow measurements. It generates an ultrasonic beam at a specific frequency, transmitting it between transducer crystals in two directions: first from the downstream transducer to the upstream, then reversing from upstream to downstream. As the liquid moves through the pipe, it slightly increases the speed of the ultrasound transmission.
This time difference, calculated as T1−T2, is directly proportional to the liquid’ s flow velocity, providing an accurate measurement of flow rate.
Applications for the UX5000 are many-fold. The UX5000 is ideal for harsh, heavy duty industrial measurement of liquid flow in pipes. Being non-invasive and easy to install, it is particularly well suited to the chemical, water and oil industries.
Key Features:
• Non-invasive, efficient, and easy installation, no process downtime
• Cutting edge technology at its most affordable
• Certified for use in hazardous areas( ATEX)
• Reliable measurement accuracy – up to 0.5 % with process calibration
• Separate Display( DCSIU) and Remote Measurement
• Unit( RMU) allows flexibility in installation
• Cost effective metering for harsh, heavyduty applications
• Single and Dual Channel Options
• Remote System Setup and Monitoring
