Challenge
High operating temperatures, noise, and power consumption in Engel hydraulic injection machines, alongside frequent oil consumption and reduced fluid life.

Solution
Introduction of HydraSUM Hydraulic Additive in Engel No. 5 machines.

Outcome

• • Reduced operating temperatures and noise, eliminating hydraulic chatter.
  • Achieved a 2 Amp drop in power consumption at idle, improving energy efficiency.
  • Prolonged hydraulic fluid life and rejuvenated seals, reducing oil consumption.
  • Improved machine cycle times, enhancing productivity.

Key Benefit
Lower energy costs and improved operational reliability paved the way for expanding additive use across more machinery.
