Lubricants that are not harmful to humans and the environment

Switching to biodegradable oil without risk

Less downtime, longer life, less waste and better for people and the environment. That's the promise of CARDEV filtration systems specifically designed to rid hydraulic lubricants of dirt and water. They are supplied by Duport Lubricare. Michael Anslijn of the Dedemsvaart-based company explains.

"Lubricant based on saturated esters is very easy to clean at lower temperatures. With CARDEV, it is possible to get and keep the hydraulic oil in the system cleaner than new. In most cases, this can even be done while the machine is running as usual," Anslijn explains. 

Duport Lubricare supplies biodegradable lubrication systems from Swiss company Motorex in addition to CARDEV filtration systems. And this is becoming increasingly prescribed in these times of emission-free work. 

"There is no reason not to switch to biodegradable lubricants," Anslijn states bluntly. "The oil from the Swiss company Motorex lasts the entire useful life of a machine, is miscible with other biodegradables, PFAS free, fully degradable and we will take over the manufacturer's warranty if necessary. So why not do it? It's just as important as emission-free operation." 

As a consultant at Duport Lubricare, Anslijn has years of experience with biodegradable lubricants. Enthusiastically, he lists its advantages: "Because it is made on the basis of saturated ester liquids, Motorex oil is compatible with all common seals. Modifications to a machine are therefore not necessary, and switching from mineral oils to a biodegradable alternative is therefore a piece of cake. Moreover, you do not need to replace them during the entire life of a machine. So less downtime, less labor and much less use of harmful substances. Count your winnings!"  

Should an unexpected hose rupture occur, Motorex's lubricants are not harmful to the environment. Anslijn: "75% degrades within 28 days, according to the OECD 301B guideline. Not for nothing do more and more clients - municipalities, but also Waternet - prescribe biodegradable lubricants."
