DYNAVIS is expanding operations into the mining market

Tough times are increasingly leading mining companies to look at DYNAVIS technology. “We’re expanding our strategy to other applications, including mining,” said Rolf Fianke, marketing manager at DYNAVIS. “They are longing for efficiencies and ways of saving.” The DYNAVIS brand is not a hydraulic fluid, but rather a technology that utilises an additive to improve the viscosity index of hydraulic fluids.

Tough times are increasingly leading mining companies to look at 7645 DYNAVIS technology.

“We’re expanding our strategy to other applications, including mining,” said Rolf Fianke, marketing manager at DYNAVIS. “They are longing for efficiencies and ways of saving.”

The DYNAVIS brand is not a hydraulic fluid, but rather a technology that utilises an additive to improve the viscosity index of hydraulic fluids. The improved viscosity enables easier movement of components, resulting in fuel savings and other benefits.

Construction firms have benefitted from DYNAVIS in the past, and Fianke believes that will be the case with mining, too. “Just think about the savings, and how much it could mean on machines that large,” he said.

Fianke also said the company continues to make agreements with fluids suppliers and other distributors, who often market DYNAVIS technology to the end-user.

DYNAVIS is a technology owned by Evonik Industries, a global specialty chemicals group.

    Changing the hydraulic fluid is not usually the first thought that comes to mind when looking to improve the performance of machines, but can in fact lead to up to 30% lower fuel consumption under extreme conditions, claims Evonik Industries. Hydraulic fluids featuring Evonik's DYNAVIS technology, such as those from Total and Indian Oil, are able to offer this and other benefits. When compared with hydraulic equipment operating with conventional monograde hydraulic fluids, DYNAVIS-formulated hydraulic

    Dynavis, a hydraulic fluid additive, has been a money-saver for many heavy equipment operators and case studies confirming this will be on show at the Evonik stand at INTERMAT. Up to 30% more hydraulic power versus a conventional mono-grade ISO 46 fluid has been recorded, says Rolf Fianke, aftermarket support manager at Evonik, based in Darmstadt, Germany. Data has been collected over the past decade, much of it because Dynavis is used by many OEMs. But as yet Dynavis has not been highlighted as an in
