With the well-known vortex tube cooling, you can cool components, workpieces, tools and the like in your production. The cold air from a vortex tube steadily lowers the temperature of your part. Vortex tubes can produce highly variable temperatures and airflows, well below 0 °C if required, and that is what makes vortex tubes so unique.
But what if you could achieve even better cooling results with compressed air cooling lubrication, by not only cooling your parts but lubricating them at the same time?
The AIR LUBRICOLD SYSTEM makes this possible. The system is used not only for cooling machine tools and industrial applications, but also for minimum quantity lubrication of parts. What makes the AIR LUBROCOLD special is that it delivers a cold airstream and, at the same time, a micro-injection of lubricant. This air-oil lubrication is more modern than other cooling systems and was specially developed to meet the requirements of the latest high-performance machines. At the same time, the system is highly environmentally friendly and reduces coolant costs.

The design of the AIR LUBROCOLD does not differ significantly from the classic vortex tube: firstly, the system consists of an EXAIR vortex tube that provides the cold airstream. The second main component of the system is a small piston pump that delivers cyclical micro-injections of oil. Like the vortex tube, the system also works with compressed air and is operated either by a pneumatic control element or via a solenoid valve connected directly to the CNC system.
The AIR LUBROCOLD system is available in various versions as an open or closed system. There are also conversion kits that turn a minimum quantity lubrication system into a cold minimum quantity lubrication system.
