Technical consulting for industry
We help select industrial oils, technical greases and metalworking coolants for specific machines, production processes and operating conditions in the plant.
Choosing the right lubricant or coolant is not only about viscosity, product name or a replacement from a comparison table. In practice, load, temperature, material, machine type, application method, water quality, OEM requirements, process stability and downtime costs all matter.
That is why, before recommending a product, we analyse the application and technical problem: from hydraulics, gearboxes, compressors, guides and bearings to coolant systems in metalworking, process oils, anti-corrosion products and solutions supporting maintenance work.
How can we help?
We support maintenance departments, technologists, technical purchasing teams and people responsible for production stability. We help both with selecting a new product and analysing products currently used in the plant.
Oils Industrial oils Selection of hydraulic, gear, compressor, circulating, heat transfer, turbine, spindle, transformer and specialist oils.
Greases Technical greases Support in selecting greases for bearings, guides, gearboxes, central lubrication systems, high loads, temperatures, humidity and demanding operating environments.
Metalworking Coolants and metalworking fluids Selection of emulsions, concentrates, cutting oils and process products for milling, turning, drilling, grinding, stamping, broaching and minimum quantity lubrication.
Maintenance Machine operation We help reduce failures, wear, leaks, overheating, foaming, corrosion, emulsion instability and overly frequent product changes.
Who is this consulting for?
A maintenance department needs different information than a metalworking technologist or a purchasing specialist. That is why we discuss the specific situation in the plant, not only the product name.
Maintenance Fewer failures and downtimes Selection of products for machines operating under load, in continuous cycles, at high temperatures, with dust, humidity or intensive use.
Technologist More stable process Support with coolants, process oils and selection based on material, tool, machining operation, surface quality and tool life.
Purchasing Safe replacement Help with comparing products, alternatives, availability, packaging sizes and rationalising the assortment used in the plant.
Production Fewer workstation problems Support with odour, corrosion, deposits, foam, contamination, emulsion problems, lubrication issues or process repeatability.
When is it worth using technical consulting?
We most often help when the product symbol, catalogue sheet or general description is not enough to make a safe purchasing decision.
Replacement Product change When the current product is unavailable, too expensive, discontinued, problematic or needs to be replaced with an equivalent from another brand or packaging size.
Problem Operational issues When overheating, excessive wear, leaks, foaming, corrosion, deposits, unpleasant odour or emulsion instability appear.
New process New machine or technology When a lubricant, oil or coolant must be selected according to OEM requirements, operating conditions and the planned method of use.
Coolant Unstable emulsion When the coolant foams, separates, loses parameters, causes corrosion, odour, deposits or does not work well with the material and water.
Warehouse Too many similar products When many oils and greases with similar applications are used in the plant and the goal is to simplify purchasing and reduce mistakes.
Cost Operational optimisation When not only the unit price matters, but also product durability, change intervals, availability and impact on machine operation.
What information helps with product selection?
The more detailed the application description, the easier it is to select a product that is technically safe and practical from a purchasing perspective.
Machine Equipment type Machine manufacturer, model, system type, OEM recommendations, currently used product and application point.
Conditions Operating parameters Temperature, load, speed, contact with water, dust, chemicals, machined material or external environment.
Process Result you want to achieve Reduced wear, better cooling, cleaner machine, longer tool life, more stable emulsion or fewer downtimes.
Problem Symptoms and limitations What does not work, when the problem started, what has already been tested and what cost, logistics or formal limitations apply.
What does technical consulting look like?
We do not select products only by name. First, we collect information about the application and then suggest a solution or a narrowed group of products.
1
Application description
We collect information about the machine, material, temperature, load, operating method, current product and problem to be solved.
2
Requirements analysis
We check operating conditions, machine manufacturer requirements, compatibility, expected result and process or purchasing limitations.
3
Product selection
We recommend a product, replacement or several possible solutions, taking into account the application, availability, packaging and method of use.
4
Further support
If needed, we help compare alternatives, organise currently used products or select complementary products for maintenance.

Practical selection Replacements and availability We help select products not only technically, but also practically: based on availability, packaging, repeatable purchasing and real operating conditions.
What can you gain?
The goal of consulting is not simply to indicate a product from a catalogue. It is about choosing a solution that will work in a specific process and can be maintained from a purchasing perspective.
Safety Lower risk of wrong purchase You reduce the risk of choosing a product that does not match the machine, material, temperature, load or operating conditions.
Process More stable machine operation The right product can help reduce wear, overheating, corrosion, foam, deposits, contamination and unplanned downtime.
Purchasing Better assortment organisation You can more easily compare products, organise currently used products and reduce the number of similar items in the technical warehouse.
