Together we analyze your machines, your processes and the requirements of your industry. The aim is to provide a reliable basis for decision-making.
After the analysis, we put together a concept for you. Your transformation plan contains time frames, responsibilities and specific measures.
The system setup is the central technical step in your changeover. We clean, check and fill your systems – structured, documented and accompanied on site.
The use of smart fluids also changes your requirements and specifications. We help you to minimize all follow-up costs – in a structured and fully documented manner.
After the changeover, we ensure that your systems continue to run optimally in the long term. With monitoring, laboratory analyses and targeted adjustments, we get the best out of your fluid.
In our brief discussion, you describe your current situation – and receive a non-binding initial assessment of how your processes can become oil-free, safe and more efficient.
You can describe your current situation to us in a brief conversation. We will give you a non-binding initial assessment of whether and how a switch to smart fluids would be worthwhile for you. Sounds promising? Book an appointment now.
In the requirements analysis, we systematically record your machines, tools and fluids – and all the technical, legal or ecological requirements associated with them. We talk about load profiles, temperatures, maintenance intervals and sensitive materials such as seals or coatings. Safety standards, environmental regulations and insurance requirements are also taken into account. The result: a clear picture of your current situation and a reliable basis for selecting the right smart fluid. Confidential, independent and with decades of experience in change.
Together, we develop a customized concept that takes your machines, your requirements and your resources into account. From initial cleaning and instruction to conversion – all steps are clearly defined. We plan when which system will be converted and who will take on which tasks. In doing so, we ensure minimum downtime and maximum safety. Your transformation concept is clear, binding and feasible – the solid foundation for a smooth changeover.
The system setup is the central technical step of the changeover. We clean, test and fill your systems – on site, documented and accompanied. First, we check the material compatibility – from seals to surfaces. Then we drain, clean and fill your system with the right Smart Fluid. Our laboratory analysis ensures: no residues, no risks.
We adapt fluid concentrations, filtration and maintenance intervals to suit your individual needs. With evaluation if required. At the end, you receive clear maintenance guidelines, test protocols and a documented starting point – for a safe change right from the start.
We test your materials for chemical and physical compatibility with our smart fluids. In this way, we avoid surprises in real operation.
We remove old fluid, clean the system thoroughly and refill it – with the right pressure, volume and care.
Our laboratory analyses confirm the purity of the filling and compatibility in everyday production – quickly and traceably.
We adapt the amount of fluid, concentration and additives to your processes – and help you integrate them into your workflows.
You will receive individual inspection and maintenance intervals from us, tailored to the new fluid.
After the technical changeover, we support you in efficiently meeting internal and external requirements. We advise on expert opinions and approvals and provide information on potential insurance savings. Environmental, health and fire protection requirements can also often be simplified – including information for the authorities, company doctor or fire department.
You receive ready-made templates, expert reports, WGK-1 and certificates – to pass on to insurance companies, authorities or internal departments.
Our smart fluids reduce expenses for fire protection, environmental technology and operational liability – and thus permanently lower your fixed costs.
Instruction documents, skin compatibility certificates and information for the company doctor, safety officer or employees are included – structured and audit-proof.
We support you with specific recommendations on filter technology, maintenance kits and application-specific adaptations – for less downtime and more efficient processes.
Whether spare parts, technical contacts or supplementary service providers: we think beyond the product and help to establish meaningful collaborations.
The introduction is just the beginning. Smart fluids develop their full potential through targeted monitoring. In the months and years following the changeover, we remain at your side and actively support your processes – with laboratory analyses, operating samples and technical fine-tuning. This enables us to identify optimization potential at an early stage – e.g. in dosing, temperature control or filter technology. We adapt maintenance intervals to actual requirements and thus improve efficiency and availability. Together we identify improvements – precise, measurable and tailored to your operation. So that your systems don’t just run – they run better.
Inconspicuous losses quickly add up – whether due to friction, unnecessary energy consumption or excessive amounts of fluid. We uncover these points, identify specific optimization potential and help to reduce your maintenance workload – permanently.
Is everything running as planned – or better than expected? We work with you to evaluate operating data, identify bottlenecks or overloads and adapt processes. This not only makes your system more stable, but also more efficient.
Every drop tells a story. With regular samples, we give you an insight into the actual contamination of the fluid – microbiologically, chemically, thermally. Early warning included.
Standard maintenance is a thing of the past. We transfer your system to a new rhythm – tailored to the behavior of the smart fluid, machine usage and production reality. So that maintenance can be planned again.
Why check every four weeks when eight would be enough – or even two? We help you to scrutinize and redefine inspection and maintenance intervals based on data. For less effort and more safety.
The duration of the conversion depends on the size and complexity of your system. In many cases, the conversion can be completed in just a few days – including cleaning, filling and initial monitoring. We plan in such a way that downtime is minimized or avoided. If required, the conversion can also be carried out in stages, parallel to ongoing operation.
This is precisely why we carry out a detailed compatibility analysis in advance. We check materials, seals, coatings and operating parameters for possible incompatibilities. If it turns out that a component is not suitable, we offer suitable alternatives or adaptation suggestions – always transparently and risk-free.
In addition to the product price, you also save on disposal, fire protection, insurance costs (e.g. through approvals) and environmental regulations. Maintenance and downtime costs are also reduced. We analyze your situation individually and identify specific optimization potential – documented and reliable.
As a rule, yes. We have a lot of experience with retrofit projects and also develop suitable concepts for older machines. The decisive factor is the inventory and compatibility check – then we develop a solution that makes both technical and economic sense.
We take on these tasks together with you. Our specialists take care of professional emptying, cleaning, filling and initial monitoring. This also includes laboratory analyses, maintenance concepts and the provision of test kits and checklists. Everything is documented – for your safety and traceability.
Thanks to our own laboratory, we deliver analysis results in the shortest possible time – within 72 hours. Our team of experts is available to answer any technical questions you may have. We understand that your time is precious – that’s why we keep communication channels and response times as short as possible.
Each concept is individually tailored to your industry, machines, processes and goals. We work with a modular system that we tailor precisely to your situation. You don’t get an off-the-shelf product – but an accompanied change that really fits.
In our brief discussion, you describe your current situation – and receive a non-binding initial assessment of how your processes can become oil-free, safe and more efficient.
