Sustainable machine lubrication: Efficient and environmentally conscious operation of hydraulic systems

In our seminar “Sustainable Machine Lubrication in Practice,” you will learn how to operate hydraulic systems more sustainably and economically through targeted measures. Based on well-founded analyses and practical examples, we highlight classic weaknesses and convey how you can significantly extend the lifespan of your systems and minimize downtime costs through the right oil selection, careful handling, modern oil monitoring, and effective oil maintenance.

In this context, we consider hydraulic oils as essential machine elements, whose professional handling is crucial for long-term success and environmental protection. The integrated approach can also be applied to other oil-filled systems such as gearboxes, circulating lubrication systems, or compressors. The professional, comprehensive approach ensures sustainable and economical operation.

  • Understand and apply sustainability as an integral part of economic asset management.
  • Evaluate hydraulic oils from sustainability perspectives and select optimally.
  • Recognize relationships between component lifetime, oil quality, and contaminants and derive sustainable measures.
  • Implementing professional oil handling and oil care in the company
  • Use oil and component monitoring for early detection of malfunctions
  • Make sustainability measurable through facility-specific key figures.
  • Ability to make sustainability measurable through system-specific key figures
  • Specialists from component/system manufacturers and their service partners
  • Sales engineers and technically orientated sales staff from lubricant manufacturers and their sales partners
  • Engineers, foremen and service technicians from operations, maintenance & repair
  • Experts for hydraulic systems
  • Technical consultants and product managers from the oil care sector
  • Application technician in laboratory vehicles, as well as in on-site condition monitoring and fluid management
