Eisenmann Druckguss GmbH Background

For more than 80 years, Eisenmann Druckguss GmbH, based in Villingen, Germany, has specialized in manufacturing high-precision components made of zinc and aluminum. With a team of 220 dedicated employees, the company supplies premium-quality parts and innovative solutions to leading automotive manufacturers and a wide range of customers in other industries.

Production Setup

Among the core machinery is a Frech hot-chamber die-casting machine, model DAW 20T. The hydraulic system operates with 230 liters of Petrofer Ultra Safe 620 – a water-glycol mixture.

The Challenge

During the die-casting process, the hydraulic system becomes increasingly contaminated by particles resulting from operational wear and tear. This contamination causes variations in piston speed, which in turn affects the consistency and quality of the cast parts. These fluctuations can lead to product defects, increased downtime, and reduced overall efficiency.

Testing the GreenOil Filtration Solution

To address this challenge, a GreenOil filtration unit was installed and tested for its ability to clean and maintain hydraulic oil purity. Oil samples were collected both before and after the test period for laboratory analysis.

Customer Comments – Eisenmann Druckguss GmbH

“We are rather satisfied with these results. Only a reliable oil filtration at the die-casting machines can maximize a process reliability even so promises to optimize economic process”.

American Seafoods

Back in 2018 American Seafoods ordered two offline oil filtration systems one for lubrication oil and one for diesel. It was the vessel Northern Eagle which was retrofitted first. For the two main engines Bergen BRM 8, we installed two GreenOil system of the type WP1-P2-750 which ensured the engines could run smoothly as the lubrication oil was cleaned thoroughly. Once installed, American Seafoods saw first hand the benefits of quality oil filtration.

ESVAGT Knows the Importance of Clean Oil

ESVAGT builds on a strong cultural heritage of fishermen. Here safety is at the forefront of every decision. Clean oil is key when it comes to safety as contaminated oil can reek havoc on a vessels machinery. Havyard Ship Technology and ESVAGT have selected GreenOil to supply all offline oil filtration systems onboard their fleet. From 2020 to 2022 a total of 21 systems have been installed filtrating diesel, hydraulic and lube oil ensuring the engine, thrusters and much more runs smoothly for all operations. It is performance to rely on. Along with our partner Ditech Filter Solutions in Norway, we secured the contracts for three new Service Operation Vessels due to past performance of our offline oil filtration systems.

GreenOil Optimize the Operation of the DFDS Fleet

Onboard the DFDS Ro-Ro cargo ship Ark Germanina, 15 GreenOil offline oil filtration systems are installed, ensuring that the cargo safely arrives in either Esbjerg or Immingham harbor. The systems are distributed on six different applications onboard the Ark Germanina: thrusters, controllable pitch propeller, gearbox, steering gear, hydraulic ramps and stern tubes. The majority of these installation have been used since 2014, when the ship was put into operation. Most recently, the ship’s three auxiliary engines have been fitted with GreenOil systems based on the successful performance of the other six applications.

Oil filtration made simple

Frustration amongst the crew had grown within the MSM fleet. Their existing onboard centrifugal separators required too many spare parts, handling had become a hassle and the order procedure left much to be desired. Most importantly they had continues problems with water contamination in their main engine’s lube oil, and therefore had to change it too often to avoid engine breakdowns. After 3 years of patience, it was time for a change, it was time for quality and simplicity, it was time for GreenOil.
