When it comes to industrial equipment, contamination in hydraulic systems can wreak havoc, leading to costly downtime, inefficiencies, and frequent maintenance. At a stone-cutting workshop, these challenges were effectively addressed using Eurol Additive-S Flush, a specialized cleaning solution for hydraulic systems.
The result? Significant annual savings of €1,200, achieved through improved performance, reduced downtime, and extended equipment lifespan. Here’s how:
Eliminating contamination
The stone-cutting machine's hydraulic system was plagued by contamination from water and stone dust. These impurities not only increased wear and tear on the hydraulic motor but also posed a threat to the system's overall efficiency. Solution: Eurol Additive-S Flush effectively removed these contaminants, restoring the system to optimal performance.
Reducing downtime
Contaminated hydraulic fluid often causes malfunctions and unscheduled repairs. This workshop previously struggled with frequent breakdowns, halting production and escalating costs. Impact: With Eurol Additive-S Flush, system reliability improved, leading to fewer interruptions and more consistent operations.
Boosting efficiency by 20%
After flushing the hydraulic system, the machine operated with a 20% efficiency gain. This increase allowed the workshop to cut more stone within the same timeframe, enhancing production capacity.
Lowering energy costs
Improved machine efficiency also translated to reduced energy consumption. By requiring less electricity to achieve the same results, the workshop achieved tangible savings in energy costs.
Cutting maintenance expenses
Cleaner hydraulic fluid and optimized system performance meant less wear and tear on critical components. The reduced stress on the hydraulic motor and other parts extended their service life, leading to fewer repairs and lower maintenance costs.
The bottom line
The adoption of Eurol Additive-S Flush transformed the stone-cutting workshop’s hydraulic system, delivering:
These combined benefits resulted in €1,200 annual savings.
This case study highlights how proactive maintenance with specialized products like Eurol Additive-S Flush can enhance efficiency, lower costs, and deliver measurable results.
