Envirosys is a new lubrication system that eliminates the need for chain oil in forestry machines. It uses grease cartridges instead of oil, reducing lubricant consumption by over 90% and eliminating the mess associated with chain oil. Operators report cleaner and safer working conditions without oil fumes and spills. The system can pay for itself within 4 months through increased productivity and reduced maintenance costs. It provides excellent lubrication over a wide temperature range from -45°C to 35°C.
3. And now our way……….
A new system in place where the use of chain oils is no
longer needed!
Since decades, the industry was looking for
THE
solution to the use of chain oils.
Envirosys is now the answer.

7. Chain oils situation
•Made of toxic hydrocarbons
• Cheapest formulations are made with flushing oils and / or
recycled oils,
•Poor lubricant performances
• you always get what you paid for,
•Messy handling
• Chain oils generate a lot of losses and solid waste,
•Dirty operations
• Oily windshield and dirty radiators

8. Impact on the environment
Approximately 1 litre of chain oil is CONSUMED per hour
by harvesters (cut-to-length) on this planet
………i.e.: Millions of litres of ‘’ highly non- desirable ‘’
lubricants are lost into the environment with a serious
threat that can be totally eliminated with using Envirosys

13. This unit, is the heart of the concept, i.e.:
1. Reservoir of 5 kgs capacity,
2. Low Level sensor, to eliminate the risk
of running dry,
3. Electric motor (12V & 24V)
4. Pistons with relief and check valves,
13
14. Junction box
This junction box has been
developed for protecting all elements
of the Envirosys system

15. Electronic control unit (ECU)
Our electronic control unit
(ECU) is programmed
to fit the perfect moment
and quantity of lubricant
required.
Parameters can be set
differently at any moment
within few seconds

23. So what do the operators say
• Cleaner operation. No more fumes sticking to
the harvester and base machine…
•Air filter for the cabin can be cleaned from dust
with air-gun…
•No more rain mixed with oil on cabin windows…
•I can really work close to the machine
•Imagine 2 kg of grease to carry instead of 20l of
oil in winter times
•The refill is real fast and easy to do..
23
24. So what do the service people say?
•So much nicer to work around the
harvester , everything is dry no more oil
everywhere you look.
•Working closer to the machine we don’t
put the machine under stress so bushings
and pins last longer.

42. Envirosys and Hultdins
We are the only company with their approval to
use grease instead of oil in the Supercut 100 from
the manufacturer Hultdins , Sweden
All of this after a test done at their facility in
Sweden with results beyond what everybody
thought then…..

49. IDENTIFIED
ADVANTAGES
• No more plastic containers
and costs associated with
re-use
• Return on investment within 4
months
• No more risks of injuries
• And what a step forward for
the environment!

50. IDENTIFIED ADVANTAGES
1. Major reduction in lubricant consumption, > 10:1
•Huge impact for the environment, rejects of
hydrocarbons reduced to almost zero,
•Cleaner operation (no more oil clouds), no more
slippery surfaces, cleaner windshields, safer
operation,
•Over 90% elimination of solid waste (plastic
jugs),
50
51. IDENTIFIED ADVANTAGES
2. Financial gains:
•Increase up time (productivity), less stop for refilling
(one full reservoir can last as much as 48 hours of operation),
•Exceptional antiwear performances,
• life of chains, bars, rollers and sprocket wheel is extended
several times (up to 4 times).
•Cost of lubricant:
• Although less important, cost reduction is realized with using our
Envirosys greases over good quality chain oils.

52. IDENTIFIED ADVANTAGES
3. Envirosys greases characteristics:
•Exceptional adhesiveness,
•Superior anti wear protection,
•Excellent water resistance,
•Performs over a wide range of temperature,
• From -45 ° up to + 35 °

53. IDENTIFIED ADVANTAGES
4. Envirosys greases are available in two options:
• Envirosys ALC winter & summer grades
• Made of conventional mineral oils,
• Envirosys Bio winter & summer grades
• Made of vegetable base oils, biodegradable up to 97 % and
absolutely non toxic.
• Both greases have been chosen because of their special
affinity to metallic surfaces enhancing their antiwear
performances

54. IDENTIFIED ADVANTAGES
5. Envirosys can be adapted to any equipments
within few hours without affecting the actual lube
system,
6. Our warranty covers parts and labour under
certain conditions:
• Exempt of contaminant,
• Only Envirosys greases must be used to avoid incompatibility
problems,
• No abuse,

55. Conclusion
A very simple change with tremendous impacts on
Safety
Profitability, Cleaner operation
Environment
Maintenance cost reduction
Productivity
Status quo is no longer an option
