Technology
Technical data and selection
MaXtreme is DropsA's high-performance system for internal cooling through the tool. It does not generate its aerosol by atomising at a nozzle but with vortex technology, producing oil droplets in the sub-micron range. Exactly that droplet size decides whether the oil crosses the coolant channel of a long drill or settles on the way.

| Oil flow | up to 220 ml/h |
| LP nozzle, smallest diameter | 2 mm at 6 bar (7000 Nl/h) |
| HP nozzle, smallest diameter | 0.8 mm at 20 bar (3500 Nl/h) |
| Reservoir | 2 l |
| Aerosol outlets | 1 to 3 |
| Air supply / usage hose | Ø 12 mm / Ø 12–16 mm |

Two vortex stages, two tool classes
The two pressure stages are not a convenience feature; they cover two different tool geometries. The LP stage at 6 bar works with coolant channels from 2 mm diameter and delivers the higher air throughput of 7000 Nl/h. The HP stage at 20 bar copes with channels from 0.8 mm — the range of small drills — but has to limit throughput to 3500 Nl/h.
Hence the sizing rule: the coolant channel diameter of the smallest tool in use determines the pressure stage, not the machine's power. If both are needed, the hybrid version with two vortex stages (3135264) is the right variant.
Oil flow in millilitres per hour
A maximum of 220 ml/h makes the contrast with emulsion cooling tangible: a conventional system delivers that volume in seconds. With MQL, consumption across a whole shift is less than a litre, which removes disposal entirely — the oil leaves the process on the workpiece and the chip, not as spent emulsion.
