Improve hydraulic oil quality with an additive

07-07-2020

Hydraulics is a drive technology in the industrial and agricultural sector and has to deal with high pressures, temperatures and harsh conditions. Hydraulic systems are drives and are mainly used for excavators, bulldozers, garbage trucks, forklifts, (lift) bridges, locks, dredging and offshore ships, blast furnaces and wind turbines. A properly functioning hydraulic system is very important. In addition, it is very important to check the quality of hydraulic oil occasionally. Just like motor oil, the hydraulic oil will also need to be changed and replaced with new oil. There are additives that can easily be added to the hydraulic oil. These additives can be used both preventively (preventive) and curatively (problem-solving). A hydraulic oil additive ensures better quality of the hydraulic oil. Leaks and strange noises should absolutely not occur. Hydraulic systems are expensive and must have the longest possible lifespan.

Why use a hydraulic oil additive? Normal hydraulic oils are in many ways ordinary base oils, which do not have the same carrying capacity as Lindemann HYD additives.

Two types of hydraulic oil additives

Dutch Performance Products has two types of additives, the Lindemann HYD-1 and HYD-SL. Both contain Teflon molecules and anti-wear, anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion additives. Furthermore, the Lindemann HYD-1 and HYD-SL are compatible with mineral, synthetic and most types of biodegradable hydraulic oil.

The Lindemann HYD-1 is additive for hydraulic system for all types of pumps. HYD-1 is used to reduce the risk of leakage and wear as it provides a better lubricant than normal hydraulic oils.

The Lindemann HYD-SL is a hydraulic oil additive specifically designed to reduce and stop hydraulic oil leaks. There are many products on the additive market that can remedy oil leaks in hydraulic systems. However, the Lindemann HYD-SL has something extra

There are additives on the market that can eliminate leaks in hydraulic systems. Lindemann HYD-SL has something extra and returns the synthetic rubber gaskets to their original flexibility so that they regain their original function.

A quick summary of all the advantages why hydraulic oil additives can be of added value:

  • Less friction, noise and heat
  • Contains Teflon (PTFE) molecules
  • Less wear on seals
  • Prevents future leaks (Lindemann HYD-1)
  • Less wear on the pump and control valve
  • Reduces and seals leaks (Lindemann HYD-SL)
  • Less maintenance costs
  • 1 liter of additive is good for 100 liters of hydraulic oil!
