Oil-service valves for wind energy plants

Optimal oil service prevents failures of wind energy plants

According to industry experts, about 70 to 80 per cent of the failures in lubricating systems can be attributed to impurities contained in the oil. They are due to the wear of gear units or bearings caused by foreign matter such as particles, acids, water or oil ageing products that cannot be prevented in the long term. This results in partly long downtimes which are an enormous cost factor especially in wind energy plants. The maintenance of these wind energy plants and their proper servicing with lubricating oil are crucial for maximum efficiency and sustainable protection of the environment.

Oil-service valves for wind energy plants – proven for years

Skarke cooperates closely with those industries that rely on the dependability and high quality of our oil-service valves and/or air-vent valves. Due to this, we are very familiar with the requirements and issues of the respective applications and are able to optimally tailor the valves to the individual needs of our customers – for example the length of the valve threads in order to allow easy draining of the oil even in hard-to-reach places. Thanks to this industry-specific experience, we assure the quality of our valves which have stood the test of time in wind energy plants for years. 

You can buy premium-quality, reliable oil-service valves for the oil change or the venting of gear units in wind energy plants from Skarke, also as customised valves, if required. Please do not hesitate to contact us right away for personal advice.
