Reduce maintenance costs and fuel consumption of woodchippers

Fuel Consumption Maintenance Costs Motor Oil Eurol Specialty Case Study

Cost Savings

€30,000 per year through Eurol Grease CS-2/502-S
€15,000 per year through Eurol Additive-S Engine

Material Savings

Less downtime and longer lifespan.

Situation

Proper lubrication of machines is very important. This certainly applies to woodchippers, which must deal with difficult conditions. In this case study we show how Eurol Specialty Lubricants contribute to less downtime, less fuel consumption and better protection of the bearings in the machines at Gebr. Baars.

Bearings in woodchippers are subjected to high loads. Without proper lubrication, this can result in damage and therefore downtime. This not only results in maintenance costs, but also reduces the efficiency of the machine. Also, these machines have a high fuel demand.

Solution

The bearings are lubricated with Eurol Grease CS-2/502-S, resulting in less friction and wear. This reduces the need for re-lubrication and allows the bearings to last longer. This prevents downtime, saves on maintenance costs and increases uptime. By adding Eurol Additive-S Engine to the engine oil, the engine also runs smoother, resulting in less fuel consumption.

Recommended product use Eurol Additive-S Engine: add approximately 5% additive to the fresh oil after an oil change.

Additive-S BIO lowers the oil temperature of the Toro Greensmaster, enabling more efficient and sustainable mowing with reduced maintenance.

Protection of mowers

In tough conditions, proper lubrication helps mowers deliver top performance. At JvESCH, this led to less maintenance and lower costs.
