20 Feb Fire Safety In Hot Forming Hydraulic Presses Jason Ginsberg2020-03-17T04:57:08-04:00 One of the main risks of fire is linked to the use of mineral oil in the hydraulic systems. At the units, substantial leakage has been observed. Most leakage takes place through accidents like ruptured hoses, or leaking couplings. Mineral oils are highly flammable and are a serious source of fire hazard in high temperature environments and applications close to open flames or red-hot metal parts. The risk is further increased by the rapid and aggressive ignition rate of mineral oils. Today mineral oil dangers present industries with a very real major risk. With QUINTOLUBRIC® 888, this risk can be reduced and managed preventively. Fire Safety In Hot Forming Hydraulic PressesJason Ginsberg2020-03-17T04:57:08-04:00
