Can plastic injection molding machines really avert downtime?
If they experienced some varnish issues, then they can!

A plastics manufacturing plant, who produces high quality components for the medical industry, was experiencing varnish related servo valve failures on their injection molding machines using a competitive oil.
The failures caused significant production disruption and unplanned maintenance expenditures. The plant approached Mobil™ requesting support to correct varnish related issues and to improve equipment reliability.
After using Mobil™ Solvancer®, oil-soluble cleaner, and converting to Mobil DTE™ 25 Ultra hydraulic oil, the plant has not experienced issues with servo valves and production has returned to normal operation.
The use of Mobil™ Solvancer®, oil-soluble cleaner, removed the need for time-consuming flushing when converting to Mobil DTE™ 25 Ultra hydraulic oil, saving the plant 11 hours of additional downtime and lost equipment availability.
Converting to Mobil DTE™ 25 Ultra hydraulic oil offered the plant extended oil drains capabilities and reduced annual savings of $73K*.
Annual Savings $73,931 USD* — Revenue Improvement
11 Hours — Exposure Reduction
1,000 Gallons** — Environmental Improvement
