AMETS is implementing a new R&D project “BERMEK” whose main objective is to address the environmental transition through a new concept of “sustainable workshop” that takes into account the environmental impact of its processes.
The BERMEK project aims to reduce the carbon impact of the machining process by applying GREEN MANUFACTURIN concepts through the complete elimination of toxic cutting oils and dangerous refrigerants. The implementation of this integral solution for machining processes with CO2 and MQL will allow the transformation of traditional machining processes into more sustainable, healthy and competitive ones.
After validation testing, the results obtained have been revelatory. Using the BeCold system in the machining of plastics, the chips generated are significantly shorter, even eliminating burrs in some processes. On the other hand, in super duplex machining, tool fatigue is much less pronounced, maximizing the life cycle of the cutting tools.
The future lies in innovating our processes, another step towards eco-efficiency.
Project co-financed by the GV and the European Union through the FEDER
