FOCUS ON AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY

At Castrol, we have focused on engine manufacturing for agricultural and construction machinery. Using our deep understanding of metal/fluid interactions and our unique fluid technologies, we have created a solution specifically designed to reduce overall metalworking fluid and lubricant costs, process costs and support a high quality end product.

Our solution is delivered by dedicated staff with extensive application and product experience supported by a strong technical support team.
ANNUAL SAVINGS OF $18,623.

A major agricultural equipment manufacturer was concerned with high product usage and off-site waste treatment charges. Castrol engineers worked with the customer to recommend system design changes to recover and recycle spent product, achieving annual savings of $18,623.
DELIVER REAL PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENTS AND REDUCE OVERALL COSTS
  • Based on a thorough understanding of your manufacturing process and its critical applications, we will select the right metalworking fluids and lubricants using our extensive applications knowledge
  • Our comprehensive product range is designed for long sump life, superior biostability, low residues and in-process corrosion protection
  • When possible we will provide Machine Tool Manufacturers (MTM) – Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) endorsed products to mitigate risks of product testing and change out
  • Our Machining Test Centres will provide simulation of your machining operations and enable product comparisons
  • Through careful selection of products and regular monitoring of large systems, we will achieve steady state fluid conditions and consistent product performance
  • We will assist with maintaining systems within the metalworking fluid’s process control limits to reduce having to use heavy doses of additives to bring the systems back into process control
  • Our tailor-made solutions, including our real-time automated monitoring system Castrol SystemRT, will minimise downtime related to product performance, optimise chemical usage and provide consistent metalworking fluid performance
PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE, TAILORED WASTE MANAGEMENT & HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL (HSE) SUPPORT
  • We will recommend and supply metalworking fluids and lubricants that will help meet all your individual and local legislative requirements and provide expert advice on disposal
  • Working closely with you, we will:
    • Reduce waste stream costs by extending system life
    • Establish and monitor critical fluid control parameters
    • Investigate recycling of metalworking fluids through dedicated on-site reconditioning equipment
    • Recommend new product technologies
  • Improve your working environment wherever possible by recommending Castrol’s water soluble honing fluids
  • Select the right metalworking fluids, process cleaners, machine lubricants and corrosion preventives that work synergistically to deliver operational benefits
  • We will help you focus on waste management in all areas, including container management. World demand for construction equipment
