Since launching in 2016, Fusion Coolant Systems innovative Pure-Cut® technology has been successfully installed in more than 200 CNC machining centres around the world. In this interview, Clinton Perry meets with founder and CTO, Steve Skerlos to learn more about supercritical CO2 coolant – what is it, how does it compare against traditional fluid-based coolants, what benefits does it deliver, and how can it be integrated into your existing CNC machinery.

No matter what materials, applications, tools or machines you’re using, the Pure-Cut solution could be the perfect fit offering shorter cycle times, increased tool life, lower production costs and capital expenditure, plus the removal of the EH&S risks associated with emulsion coolant.

If you’re hitting the limits of your CNC machine capabilities; if you’re wanting to push your cutting tools even harder, or if you’re working on seriously demanding materials or applications – Pure-Cut could be THE solution for you.

And as for the world’s brewing trade – you’ll have to watch the video to learn more.
