Customer success storiesWe help our customers to increase equipment performance while lowering costs and environmental impact
Marine crane: Three times expected fluid life time
- Problem: Varnish build up meaning yearly fluid changes and tank cleaning. Reduction in cooling and increased filter usage in a 400 ton marine crane.
- Solution: Initial tank cleaning, continued care using HYDAC VEU/Stat X Filter elements
- Outcome: Three times expected fluid lifetime, reduced filtration usage and increased reliability of crane, €38K saved in fluid costs, 14,000 litres of oil saved
Steel manufacturing: Extension of fluid lifetime
- Problem: 10,000 litres of fluid with high water content in the main hydraulic system
- Solution: Implement tailored purification system to remove water. Implement online measurements for early warning on ingress in the future
- Outcome: Extension of fluid lifetime, €700K saved in fluid costs, 100,000 litres of oil saved, 400 tonnes of CO2 savings
