The new MaXtreme-Machine to the Extreme

The innovative technology for micro-aerosol minimum quantity lubrication (MQL)

Maxtreme – “Machine to the eXtreme” is the revolutionary technology for processing with micro-aerosol minimum quantity lubrication that constitutes a completely new approach to single or double generator aerosol generation technology patented by DropsA.

A ready-for-use solution for the most demanding and high performance mql near-dry processing that requires minimum external or internal lubrication.

Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and near-dry processing
Near-dry processing is a recent technology designed to replace the traditional lubricant-coolant and whole oil systems in work environments with a controlled compressed air flow which transports minimum quantities of cutting oil in an “aerosol” format with sub-micron size oil particles onto the cutting surface.

The aerosol is transported onto the surface of the utensil from the outside or from the inside (through the utensil). Internal lubrication is more difficult to obtain due to the coalescence of the oil particles, a phenomenon that prevents the larger particles from passing through the utensil, overcome with MaXtreme using ultra-thin particles.

Vortex generator for ultra-fine oil aerosol particles
MaXtreme solves this problem by generating ultra-fine aerosol particles (with diameter smaller than a micron) through the use of innovative aerodynamic and fluid-dynamic characteristics.

These particles are essential for high performance applications and to achieve perfect lubrication inside the utensil. They are created thanks to the innovative Vortex generator which mixes the oil at a specific distance from the point of maximum velocity of the vortex, maximising acceleration to create the ultra-thin particles which will then lubricate the utensil.

MaXtreme also has a self-adapting and hybrid pressure feature which implies the automatic adaptation of the system without the need for adjustments between utensil changes, increasing and multiplying the air pressure up to 20 bar in order to make even processes possible with very small lubrication holes, typical of small utensils.
