Evonik adds Dynavis hydraulic additive to its INTERMAT lineup

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.

7645 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 4009 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 integral part of new equipment. INTERMAT is where Evonik wants to bring Dynavis out of the shadows and have it become a visible stand-alone brand for buyers of equipment and for maintenance crews who examine hydraulic performances.

Higher hydraulic power can translate into money saving, and one chief executive of a southern German company estimated around €5,920 ($6,700) was saved over one year using Dynavis. He claims that his excavator noticeably maintained power when multiple functions were activated, versus when not using Dynavis.

In another case study, a Lithuanian mining company was using a track-mounted 36 tonne Kleeman MS 19 Z screening unit. During the six-month test period, the fluid was exposed to winter temperatures as low as minus 20C to more than 30C in the summer. The mining company said it found the unit had used around 15% less fuel when adding Dynavis into the machines hydraulics.

    Getting the human-machine interface for equipment automation right is a lot trickier than expected. David Arminas reports from the CECE conference in Rome For many contractors, digitisation is key for improving on-site operational efficiency. But it may be time to take stock of progress and examine what does and doesn’t work. That is not to say that the anchors should be thrown out to halt development. Far from it.

    Customers can face the choice of buying used or new equipment – Dan Gilkes writes. The decision to buy either new or used equipment is almost as old as the construction plant market itself. However some of the reasons for choosing between the two might well be changing, to meet new demands from customers across the world and to cope with a changing supply base. Ever more stringent emissions legislation in Europe, the US and Japan, rapidly developing emerging markets that want the productivity of the latest
