Longer oil drain intervals with Castrol Hypuron AF

Castrol claims that its latest semi-synthetic engine oil, Hypuron AF, can extend oil drain intervals significantly with the introduction of a new additive pack. The firm said its 10W30 oil has the ability to double oil drain intervals from the near industry standard 500hours to 1000hours with the use of frequent oil analysis. It has been drawing on the experience of several US mine and quarry operators who are already achieving 1250hour oil change intervals, who are chasing a target of 1400hour for their

  • ZF chooses radial motor technology for its hydrostatic transmission
    January 6, 2017
    ZF has chosen a pair of radial hydraulic motors for use in its compact single-speed hydrostatic transmission, the 2HC85, which has been developed for compact wheeled loaders up to 100kW and 10.5tonnes operating weight. For high-torque start-up, the transmission sends oil to both motors and demands maximum stroke to travel from 0-16kph, before isolating one motor and then using 100% oil flow through the remaining motor to propel the machine to its maximum travel speed of 42kph. ZF said radial motors afford a

    The Kohler/Lombardini group will use Bauma to update its range of air-cooled single cylinder diesel engines, unveiling the new 8kW KD15-440 engine which the manufacturer says will strengthen and improve the current 15LD series - elevating it to the top of the class within its power range. The KD15-440 is an air-cooled single cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 441cc and an air filter that can offer, Lombardini claims, an operating life five times greater than the current version via its new high-e
