Forestry Industry Case Studies
TNK12 Outperforms Existing Tank Assembly, Enables Reservoir Downsizing for Stump Grinders
An OEM customer producing stump grinding machines for the forestry industry came to Schroeder Industries searching for updated filtration solutions.
An engineering analysis of their fabricated tanks found that not only were they heavy and prone to weld cracks: The volume utilization was subpar.
Further testing concluded that the existing Schroeder TNK12 would provide equivalent deaeration performance to the customer’s current tanks with a 40% reduction in tank volume.
This resulted in substantial savings on both oil and tank production cost in their stump grinder manufacturing:
Here’s how the TNK12 benefited this customer:
Tank Assembly Volume Downsized by 8 Gallons
Annual Oil Consumption Reduced by 4,000 Gallons
Annual Oil Cost Savings Est. $28,000 USD
Oil Dehydration Improves Hydraulic Press Performance, Reduces Oil Usage in Forest Products Processing Application
A customer specializing in forest products was experiencing cylinder malfunctions in their hydraulic press system due to water contamination.
Water contamination is a very common problem in industrial and manufacturing settings, causing a cascading series of impacts to machine condition, efficiency, and productivity.
Due to the large size of the hydraulic press reservoir, Schroeder Industries deployed a NAV 30 vacuum dehydrating unit. The NAV 30 achieved desaturation targets quickly.
Here’s how the NAV 30 benefited this customer:
Saturation Reduced to 12% (Over 50% Reduction) in First Cycle
Customer Reported No Further Cylinder Dysfunction due to Liquid Contamination
Overall Oil Consumption Reduced
