High-performance lubricants for the woodworking industry from ADDINOL

Q: What lubricants are typically used in the wood industry?

The most important lubricants include: Chain oils for conveyor and sawing systems Gas engine oils for combined biogas plants Gear oils for all types of drives Greases for bearings and guides The choice depends heavily on the specific application and operating conditions.

Q: How do wood dust and resins affect lubricants?

Wood dust can mix with lubricants and form lumps, which increase wear. Resins can lead to gumming and deposits. High-quality lubricants are formulated to have high adhesion, repel foreign particles and minimise deposits at the same time.

Q: What advantages do high-performance lubricants offer over standard products?

High-performance lubricants offer: Longer maintenance intervals Reduced wear Greater operational reliability Improved energy efficiency This results in lower overall operating costs and higher productivity.

Q: How do I find the right lubricant for my application?

The selection should always be made on a case-by-case basis. Key factors include: Machine type and manufacturer Operating conditions (temperature, humidity, dust levels) Load and speeds Expert advice can help identify the optimal solution.

Q: Can using the wrong lubricants cause damage?

Yes, unsuitable lubricants can lead to increased wear, deposits, corrosion or even machine breakdowns. That is why choosing the right lubricant is crucial for safe and cost-effective operation.

Q: How do ADDINOL lubricants help to reduce costs?

The use of high-quality lubricants enables you to: Reduce downtime Minimise maintenance costs Lower spare parts costs Optimise energy consumption This has a direct positive impact on total operating costs.

Q: How often should lubricants be changed?

The intervals between oil changes depend on various factors, such as machine load, environmental conditions and the quality of the lubricant. High-performance products from ADDINOL generally enable longer service life. Regular oil analysis helps to determine the optimal time for an oil change.

The woodworking industry places the highest demands on machinery and equipment. Resins, dust, heat and high mechanical stresses require lubricants that not only provide reliable protection but also boost productivity.
