Greening fleet starts at lubricant

Lifetimes of up to 15,000 hours are the rule rather than the exception

Sustainable building without extra costs? That sounds too good to be true. Yet the CO2 footprint can be reduced thanks to Motorex's biodegradable lubricants. And because the oils last a machine's lifetime, you're also more economical. A win-win, in other words.

Contractors usually don't consider what leakage means for the environment. Even an electrical machine turns out to be a serious polluter when a hose breaks. Not for nothing do clients increasingly impose additional requirements when working near sensitive Natura 2000 areas. As Motorex advisor at importer Duport Lubricare, Michael Anslijn knows better than anyone what this Swiss manufacturer has to offer machine owners who want to green their equipment fleet. "The aim is to keep the TCO of oil as low as possible by getting as much efficiency out of it as possible."

Motorex biodegradable lubricants are PFAS-free, non-toxic and therefore ideal for environmentally critical applications such as levee reinforcements, bank restoration or cultural engineering work. Hydraulic oil lasts the entire life of a machine and Ecosynt HEES and HEPR are fully degradable. "In the event of a spill, 75 to 90% is degraded by microorganisms within 28 days. Why not do it? It's just as important now as emission-free operations. Soil quality should be as much of a priority as clean air. Combined with a Cardev filtration system, oil can even be made cleaner than new!"

Stand times of 10,000 to 15,000 hours of operation are the rule rather than the exception, according to Michael. "How much more sustainable do you want it to be?" Duport Lubricare has been an importer of biodegradable lubricants for nearly 30 years and offers unlimited free sampling in addition to fast delivery from stock. "We are a one-stop-supplier with a solid consulting role. Motorex has such a great track record based on customer experiences, that anyone can switch to biodegradable lubricants or greases without worry. These are compatible with all seals used and require no machine modifications."
