In October 2009 Transconsult Ltd celebrated 17 years service to the NZ transport and construction sector. Transconsult was the first company in New Zealand to offer a comprehensive automatic lubrication system to the heavy vehicle and industrial machine sectors in 1992. The company is the authorised agent for Harvard™ by-pass filters and Beka Automatic Lubrication systems. Together these products provide a complete Asset Protection system covering engine and hydraulic systems in trucks, trailers, construction equipment and industrial engines.
Thousand Hour Service
The unique Transconsult Asset Protection System allows for maintenance schedules of 1,000 hours instead of the usual 250-hour periods. In an era where companies are seeking to get maximum usage from their capital assets, such protection makes sense. A machine is not earning while it is being serviced so less time in servicing translates directly into profit. “Oil does not wear out, it simply becomes contaminated”, according to Gerhard Stifter, Managing Director of Transconsult. “Condensation moisture, soot and other oxide particulates can accumulate in engine oil and cause wear and corrosion within the engine. These are the main causes of discoloration in engine oil”. Harvard™ filters can remove particles as small as 1 micron (one millionth of a millimetre). Keeping the oil clean and dry through filtering does extend its useful life without harming the engine. The filter removes the condensation moisture, which prevents the oil from becoming acidic.
Greasing the Wheels
The lubrication of the other moving parts of a vehicle, especially the suspension and steering components needs to be considered too. Automatic Lubrication directs precisely metered quantities of grease directly to the sites required. It can extend the life of bushes and pins by up to four times and can actually reduce the quantity of grease used by as much as 80%. Pumps are either air or electric driven and units are available to suit all makes and models of trucks and trailers.
Transconsult Asset Protection can be tailored to suit any operation. No two installations will be identical because the correct application requires a technical evaluation and comprehensive design to get the system that best suits your conditions and equipment.
