Situation
• Hot rolling: Frequent work roll changes caused by measuring quality
  requirements 
• Increasing expenditure for energy and water
• Quality of cold rolling emulsions and oils relevant for product quality
  and productivity
• Control and prevention of contamination of emulsions and oils 
  during production
• High expenditure for disposal of used emulsions and oils
• Low level knowledge about deterioration properties of rolling oils
  and emulsions
• Tool life and quality important for the quality of the products surface 

BFI solution
• Examination and modelling of oil and emulsion behaviour
• Conception and benchmarking for lubricant treatment
• Compounds for reycling and maintenance of lubricants and coolants
• Hot rolling increase of work roll life time by optimized cooling water and
  lubricant application
• Benchmark and care of cooling systems with lubricant application process 
• Application of nanoscale solids in lubricants

Service and equipment
• Cooling water and lubricant quality analysis
• Examination of operating performance of oils and emulsions
• Individual lubricant application in hot rolling process
• Innovative care and treatment of lubricant and coolant
• Optimization of existing concepts and implementation of modern concepts
  for cooling at hot rooling
• Screening units for simulation of lubricant deterioration
• Strong field magnetic separator for maintenance of coolant and
  lubricant loops
