Environment
- Donaldson. Technical Reference Guide “The Blue Pages” Donaldson provides this technical reference as a short course in “Hydraulic Filtration 101”— for those who want to gain a better understanding of fluid power filtration.
- John Deere. Understanding Emission Regulations Environmental regulatory agencies focus on four types of engine emissions: carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. Governmental agencies throughout the world are enacting more stringent laws to reduce these emissions.
- Parker. Hydraulic filtration handbook Parker’s Handbook of Hydraulic Filtration is intended to familiarise the user with all aspects of hydraulic and lubrication filtration from the basics to advanced technology.
Environmental goals
Here you can find descriptions of environmental goals of companies whose products we use.
Environmental goals
- Cummins. Cummins announces new environmental sustainability goals Cummins’ mission demands that everything the Company does leads to a cleaner, healthier, safer environment. The Company is taking the next step in fulfilling this mission and building on its long history of environmental leadership.
- Donaldson. Environmental management Donaldson is an environmentally and socially responsible corporation. We comply with all environmental laws and regulations and are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen.
- Hawe. Sustainability at Hawe Hydraulik Economic, ecological and social sustainability is part of HAWE Hydraulik’s corporate responsibility
- John Deere. Eco-Efficiency Goals Our approach is simple: involve every area of the company in the effort to reduce the amount of energy and water we use, increase the amount of waste we recycle, and use life cycle engineering to reduce the overall impact of our products and services
- Lukoil. Caring for the Environment LUKOIL acknowledges its responsibility to society for rational use of natural resources and preservation of the environment.
- Midland Oil. Environmental policy statement This statement describes environmental principles of Midland Oil.
- Parker. Environmental Sustainability We appreciate the importance of safeguarding natural resources and the global environment.
- Petro-Canada. Environmental Responsibility A commitment to the planet we share.

Environment
Reducing pollution and emissions is one of the most essential goals of our time. In product development and investments environmental values are taken into consideration better than ever before during European industrialization. It is important for us to follow this development and make our products sustainable and more environment friendly with help of modern technology.
Ever-stricter emission regulations force to reduce the amount of dangerous ingredients in exhaust fumes, see charts on John Deere website (follow the link above). Choosing an engine which fulfills the newest emission regulations makes a big difference in the emissions.
By choosing quality oil it is possible to increase fuel economy, lengthen the age of hydraulic system and decrease the amount of waste oil. See Parker's and Donaldson's manuals for details (follow the links above).
Regular and professional maintenance of the machine has also environmental significance. Clogged filters and coolers, water and contamination in hydraulic and pneumatic systems rise the temperature and increase the amount of waste heat (over half of all the energy in the world is lost as useless waste heat). By good project management it is possible to reduce the total work time and reduce the power-on time of machines. Because of these issues it also depends on the operators decisions how much strain the machine finally puts on the environment.
