Technical advice directly from the manufacturer
Lubricating, protecting, cooling, sealing or cleaning – only when used correctly will lubricants develop their ideal effect. For this reason, besides the development of customer-specific lubricants, ADDINOL also places emphasis on the application consultation of our customers and partners. Experts in different areas are available for this at the company's site in Leuna in their own department. They possess comprehensive knowledge in the field of tribology and are familiar with the lubrication interrelationships of different production processes. Based on this expertise and the long years of experience, lubricants can be recommended and used in a targeted manner for individual components or entire production lines, even under extreme operating conditions.
Our application technicians will be happy to advise you in the following areas:
- Recommendation of lubricants for specific applications and components
- Stepped changeover to ADDINOL products
- Compatibility and mixability of lubricants
- Reduction of lubricant types
- Support in the creation of lubrication plans
- Recommendation of service and cleaning products
- Product training courses in the ADDINOL Academy
- Monitoring and determination of the oil quality
- Recommendation of oil use periods with the ADDINOL Analysis Service
Extending oil lifetimes: The ADDINOL Analysis Service
Many ADDINOL lubricants can achieve considerably longer service lives and optimise the operating period of the system. Thus, ADDINOL gas engine oils exceed the lifetimes of standard gas engine oils by up to 50%. Lubricants from the ADDINOL Eco Gear range ensure the reliable function of gears in industry and wind power plants over many years. In so doing, the regular checking of the oil condition is the precondition for stable, efficient operation.
Simple sampling – detailed, clear evaluation
With our ADDINOL Analysis Service, the use of gas engine, industrial gear or turbine oils as well as cooler protection agents are monitored in a simple manner. Operators are given perfectly matched oil changing intervals, offering the maximum safety in operation. The laboratory report contains a tabular and graphical overview of the characteristic oil values as well as the recommendation of the ADDINOL application technicians as to whether the oil operation time could be kept or extended or, under certain circumstances, should be shortened.
Minimum work for maximum safety:
- Sampling with a ready-to-use set
- Shipping of sampling bottles and accompanying sample note
- Analysis of the samples in the accredited laboratory
- Evaluation of the characteristic oil values by the engineers of ADDINOL Application Technology
- Individual use recommendation on the condition of the oil and/or system
- Individual recommendation for the next analysis date
Thus, operation, maintenance and oil changing can be planned easily and the potential of the lubricant be exploited whilst maintaining maximum safety for the components and system.
ADDINOL Academy: Training courses for customers and partners
What are the differences between the individual engine oils for cars? What should I look for in hydraulic oils for mobile plants? How can the lifetime of gas engines be reliably extended? What is the best way to store lubricants?
The better the customers and partners are informed, the more targeted the lubricating oils, greases, pastes and sprays can be selected and used. For this reason, our ADDINOL Academy is orientated towards technicians, repair workers and operators of individual systems or even large production lines. Different training courses of the ADDINOL Academy offer a detailed insight from the basis of lubricants through to special applications and the matching ADDINOL product. ADDINOL offers expert knowledge and first-hand practical tips and passes them on – in the rooms of the ADDINOL Academy in Leuna or at the customer's premises.
