A successful partnership with Buchert + Feil and our distribution partner Mehytec
A diverse range of machinery, a wide variety of materials and high standards for process reliability and surface quality: at Buchert + Feil, the metalworking fluid used had to meet numerous requirements. In addition to reliable biostability and material compatibility, machine cleanliness and the required ZEISS approvals also played an important role.
Together with our long-standing trading partner Mehytec, we therefore switched to FRIGOMET 850 from Oemeta at the start of 2025. The combination of a high-performance metalworking fluid, professional machine cleaning and ongoing support now ensures stable MWF processes.
The start of our collaboration
Oemeta and Mehytec have been working closely together since 2014. As the main supplier, we support Mehytec with customer projects, technical enquiries and new product developments. Mehytec, in turn, understands the users’ requirements and provides technical support directly on site.
The connection with Buchert + Feil was established through the company Buchert Präzisionstechnik in Römhild. At that time, Buchert + Feil was facing various challenges relating to the use of the metalworking fluid: fluctuating service life, occasional odour formation and fungal growth in tanks and chip conveyors. When machining aluminium, it was also essential to ensure that the required surface quality was achieved and that staining was prevented.
Our solution: FRIGOMET 850
As a contract manufacturer, Buchert + Feil processes a wide range of materials – including steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminium and yellow metals. In addition to material compatibility and biostability, the required ZEISS approvals were also a key criterion in the selection of the new metalworking fluid.
The choice fell on our FRIGOMET 850. Mehytec provided comprehensive support throughout the changeover: the machines were cleaned and refilled, after which the test phase was closely monitored and the machinery was gradually switched over to FRIGOMET 850. As deionised water could be used on site, the metalworking fluid performed stably right from the start, without the need for any major adjustments to the process.
The results of the switch are now clearly evident: the MWF parameters remain consistently stable, odour formation and fungal growth are no longer an issue, and control additives are now only required in exceptional cases. Machine cleaning can also be carried out much more quickly today.
Our metalworking fluid in action on site
Today, 11 individual FRIGOMET 850 machines are in operation at Buchert + Feil. Mehytec provides weekly support to the customer, checking and documenting the relevant MWF values.
