Lubricant suppliers
“Too good to change”! Lubricants are valuable and must be spared from our throwaway culture! KLEENOIL AG has dedicated itself to this corporate mission since 1986. Today, KLEENOIL offers the almost ideal solution for sustainable lubrication with the oil system 4.0. The company not only supplies its customers with lubricants, but also supports them in operating machines and systems more efficiently, reliably and sustainably throughout their entire service life.
The unique KLEENOIL oil system 4.0 is based on a holistic approach. It's an all-round package and sets standards when it comes to both value for money and environmental protection. Three components interact:
In line with the company’s mission “Protecting lubricants from our throwaway culture!”, KLEENOIL products are designed for long-term use in mobile and stationary machines and major assemblies. The biodegradable lubricants from KLEENOIL are successfully used in the construction industry, agriculture and forestry sector, municipal sector, industrial plants and the onshore and offshore sector, for example. They are often used in environmentally sensitive areas, such as water protection areas, and are designed accordingly. They are environmentally friendly and according to OECD 301B > 60 % definitely biodegradable.
The product portfolio includes hydraulic and transmission oils as well as turbine and transformer oils, as well as special oils for the food and pharmaceutical industries and for commercial vehicles with a common transmission and hydraulic oil system.
Product advantages you can count on:
The KLEENOIL hydraulic oils ECO HLP and HLP EL, for example, exceed the market standard. They meet the strict requirements of RD 90235 for listing in the Bosch Rexroth Fluid Rating List 90245.
The product KLEENOIL ECO HLP EL also carries the European Ecolabel (EEL) and the Swedish Standard (SS 155434). KLEEONOIL has achieved what was previously impossible for biodegradable lubricants!
Even the best oil ages during its service life and drops in performance without maintenance. KLEENOIL micro-filtration actively counteracts this process.
The company has specialised in the development of micro-filtration systems in the side stream process for decades. This technology removes not only solid particles, but also water from the oil - the main causes of oil ageing, corrosion and system failure. KLEENOIL micro-filtration systems are available for almost all lubrication and hydraulic oil applications as well as all hydrocarbon-based fluids.
Benefits for the user:
Consistent use of KLEENOIL micro-filtration drastically extends oil change intervals. Even oil-change-free machines have already been implemented. All in all, this means tangible savings in maintenance and energy consumption.
A sophisticated monitoring strategy completes the KLEENOIL oil system 4.0.
After all, “trust is good, monitoring is better” also applies to the safe long-term use of lubricants! KLEENOIL uses smart sensors and OELCHECK laboratory analyses to monitor the oils in operation. This combination also ensures reliable operation and thereby the availability of the machines and systems. Necessary maintenance measures can be planned and any incipient damage can be detected at an early stage.
KLEENOIL sensors on site
The KLEENOIL ICC (Identification Contamination Control) oil sensor was developed in-house by the company. It checks the oil level every 30 minutes directly in the machine. Quality and contamination parameters are measured in real time. An optional telematics connection enables remote monitoring.
The KLEENOIL ICC helps you carry out all condition-dependent measures, such as oil change and maintenance. It also issues real-time warnings of unexpected or rapidly developing impairments, for example due to short-term events such as overloads.
OELCHECK oil analyses in the laboratory
Used oil analysis provides information directly from the areas of a machine that are subjected to the greatest stress - namely directly from friction contact. A lab analysis is a snapshot. However, with regular checks, trends and incipient damage can be reliably mapped.
OELCHECK mainly uses the all-inclusive analysis kit 3 B for bio-hydraulic oils for testing KLEENOIL oils. It provides information about: the general condition of the oil as well as additive and wear element content, mixtures with other fluids and contamination such as dust or water. When it comes to impurities, the purity classes provide accurate information about the load and size of foreign particles in the oil that can enter the system even with the most careful oil filtration. This is extremely important information, as contamination in the oil causes up to 80 % of all failures and damage in lubrication and hydraulic systems.
Economy and ecology can go hand in hand. The KLEENOIL oil system 4.0 takes ecological aspects into account and at the same time produces cost benefits.
Although biodegradable oils are often more expensive to purchase than mineral oil-based products, especially in combination with the KLEENOIL oil system 4.0, they are better value for money than conventional products due to their significantly longer service lives.
Two examples:
Longer oil change intervals mean less maintenance, less oil to dispose of and a significantly better overall ecological balance. Added to this is the high energy efficiency of KLEENOIL’s fully synthetic long-life oils. Due to their smooth running properties, they enable realistic energy savings of between 1 % and 5 %, depending on the application. This not only reduces operating costs, but also noticeably reduces a company’s CO2 emissions!
→ Biodegradable long-term lubricants with extremely long service lives and high energy efficiency, proven micro-filtration and reliable monitoring of the oils and machines - this is how KLEENOIL creates harmony between value for money and environmental protection.
KLEENOIL AG has stood for innovation, quality and sustainability in fluid management since 1986. Headquartered in Dogern (Baden-Württemberg), the independent company develops and sells high-performance oils, bypass flow filter systems and sensor solutions “made in Germany”. KLEENOIL offers expert application support and does not see itself as a pure supplier, but as a system partner: it accompanies businesses on their way to developing more efficient, sustainable and durable machines by helping to create a new generation of fluid technology.
