They add significant value to the manufacturing process by improving sustainability, economic efficiency, and machining quality along with greater productivity.

Blaser’s presence is in 60 countries including India, and they offer an extensive range of cutting lubes, oils, and fluids. The Productivity Trophy focuses on the significance of selecting the right coolant and improving the overall manufacturing process in terms of Productivity, Efficiency, and Quality. Blaser believes in working closely with the end users, providing them with customized and most suitable plans according to their needs, and identifying the best productivity solutions.

Leading manufacturers like Mahindra Vehicle Manufacturers Ltd, Cummins Technologies India Pvt Ltd, Bajaj Motors Ltd, TBK India, and many others were the recipient of the Blaser Productivity Trophy in their previous editions. The evaluation for identifying the winners is done on the aspects of Sustainability, Tool Optimization, Total Cost of Ownership, Metal Fluid Working Optimization and Process Optimization.

Sustainability: An opportunity to be recognized as an integral business that follows sustainability along with effective operations. How Blaser has helped in their path towards sustainability. This is to encourage and honour initiatives promoting sustainable policies, plans, and people who depict exemplary leadership and inspire others for sustainable planning and implementation.

Tool Optimization: Sorting from various technological innovations and optimized tooling solutions. How Blaser has contributed to the longer usability and durability of the tools. Reduced friction means leads to smoother operations, which will reduce the wear and tear of tools & equipment, and slows down the deterioration process.

Total costs of ownership: Minimal quantity of lubrication is considered effective for the manufacturing process. Blaser’s high-quality lubricants and expert solutions help in achieving greater results, sustaining long-term savings, and increasing equipment value.

Metalworking Fluid Optimization: Fluid optimization means increasing the robustness and life span of fluids, decreasing procurement and disposal costs, and ensuring occupational health and environmental impacts. Blaser’s optimization techniques and developments in the lubricants can increase the usability of the product multiple times with similar effectiveness.

Process Optimization: The heat generated during the machining process affects adversely the quality of the product. Effective control over heat and ensuring good surface quality are important for process optimization. Blaser is a conventional choice for many companies in this area that have seen an increase in labour and machine cost saving, increased productivity, and stability for quick and precise results.

It is generally noticed that poor choice of lubricants has severely affected the process of manufacturing for many companies, it is a small yet most important aspect of the whole process for hassle-free operation and gaining competitive advantage. The event gives an overall idea of how the right lubricant will provide economic benefits to the company along with increased productivity and quality.
