Metal processing fluid defoamers play an important role in improving processing efficiency, mainly through the following aspects:

1、 Reduce the production of foam and improve the performance of processing fluid. Defoamer of metalworking fluid can significantly reduce the surface tension of processing fluid, which makes it more difficult to form bubbles in the liquid, thus reducing the production of foam. The reduction of foam means that more processing fluid can directly act on the metal surface, improving the cooling and lubricating effects of the processing fluid. Defoamer can not only eliminate the generated foam, but also permanently inhibit the formation of new foam, thus maintaining the stability of processing fluid. A stable machining fluid can better exert its cooling, lubrication, and cleaning effects, which helps to improve machining efficiency.

2、 Improve the processing environment and reduce the downtime. The presence of foam will lead to the fluctuation of the processing fluid level and affect the stability of the processing process. The use of defoamers can significantly reduce liquid level fluctuations, making the machining process smoother and reducing downtime caused by liquid level fluctuations. The reduction of foam is helpful to improve processing precision and product quality. Without the interference of foam, the processing process is more accurate, reducing the scrap rate and rework rate, thus improving the overall processing efficiency.

3、 Optimize the work flow and reduce the cleaning work. The reduction of foam means that the waste liquid and waste generated in the processing will also be reduced accordingly. This reduces the burden of subsequent cleaning work, saves cleaning time and labor costs. The reduction of foam in the processing fluid helps to keep the working environment clean and sanitary. A clean working environment helps improve work efficiency and employee job satisfaction.

4、 Adaptability and reasonable use, different types of metalworking fluids have different requirements for defoamers. Choosing the appropriate defoamer and ensuring its good compatibility with the machining fluid is the key to ensuring the defoaming effect. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to select appropriate defoamers based on the composition and characteristics of the machining fluid. In addition, attention should be paid to the amount and usage of defoamers. Excessive addition may affect the lubrication performance of the machining fluid, while insufficient addition may not effectively defoam. Therefore, in actual use, it is necessary to determine the optimal addition amount and use method according to the production degree of foam and the use condition of processing fluid.

In conclusion, metal working fluid defoamer has effectively improved the efficiency of metal processing by reducing the generation of foam, improving the performance of processing fluid, improving the processing environment, optimizing the workflow, adaptability and reasonable use. In the metal processing industry, selecting appropriate defoamers and using them reasonably is one of the important measures to ensure processing efficiency and quality.
