One of the famous Ukrainian manufacturers of this product is the company “Yukoil“At its own plant in Zaporizhzhia, it produces automotive and industrial oils, lubricants, and service products under the brand YUKO.
The products have approvals from well-known equipment manufacturers and are exported to over 70 countries worldwide.
Oil and lubricants YUKO used by various domestic enterprises. Let's talk to the head of the technical support department of the company YUKOIL by Mikhail Greshin Regarding the quality of lubricants and cooperation with Ukrainian companies.
Ukrainians buy products YUKO for their passenger cars. What can you offer companies?
Companies prefer our products to ensure the stable operation of their primary or auxiliary equipment fleets.“Yukoil”is proud to be lubricant YUKO enterprises from various fields of activity, including mining.
What do you consider the main requirement for lubricants?
— Environmental standards are being updated, and automakers' current requirements are also changing. However, the quality of lubricants must remain consistent. This is their main requirement. To achieve this, two components must be harmonized: the quality of the components and the level of production technology.
If we have quality components and technological manufacturing, like yours, how can we create excellent products?
One of the most important structural units for us is the technical support department.
His employees help to correctly select products according to the recommendations of equipment manufacturers and operating conditions, and conduct technical seminars related to the production, control, and use of lubricants.
However, the main mission of the technical support department is to conduct industrial tests.
What is the purpose of industrial trials?
The main goal of industrial trials is to help our clients choose the optimal product for operation. Using the right lubricants reduces costs and increases the service life of equipment or machinery.
— How to determine product quality?
One of the main tools for conducting tests is laboratory analysis. The study of lubricating materials in the laboratory “Yukoil”allows our partners to evaluate the detergent-dispersant and antioxidant properties.
Spectral analysis allows us to understand the condition of equipment, the extent of engine wear, and whether the cooling or fuel system is functioning properly. We also test our products at the client's site.
This way, we can understand how the product works in the most challenging conditions and track the actual lubricant characteristics throughout its service life.
I always tell clients that oil is an indicator of how any machinery is working. Its analysis allows us to understand the condition of components and system malfunctions.
— For which companies did YUKOIL perform industrial tests?
— Let's take one of our partners as an example — the company VESCO, which is known as one of the world leaders in clay production. It has over 300 units of equipment in its technological park.
During industrial trials, an improvement in equipment performance and a reduction in component wear were observed. This is an excellent result for us.
We are especially proud that it is “Yukoil”won the bid as a result of an open tender, which VESCO conducted back in 2018.
— Why do you pay so much attention to industrial trials at the client's site?
— It's simple: this way we can offer expert, effective, and beneficial solutions for a specific company.
— How can I get recommendations from your technical support department?
The technical support team is always ready to cooperate. We are interested in developing long-term partnerships.
We spoke with representatives VESCO about the advantage of cooperating with the company “Yukoil“.
What were the results of the industrial trials?
“Quality indicators YUKO, which we obtained during testing, turned out to be no worse than those of European oil manufacturers. Therefore, we prioritized the production YUKO "in the auxiliary equipment and locomotives segment, which accounted for about 40% of the total usage," replied the chief engineer VESCO Volodymyr Chernyakov.
Besides industrial trials, domestic enterprises also value attention to their needs and expectations.
“When choosing a fuel and lubricant supplier VESCO focused not only on product quality. Service support and continuous management oversight were important to us.
After the presentation, the company “Yukoil”offered not only products but also additional services: training for repair and engineering staff on the selection and rational use of lubricants as needed.
Throughout the year, a series of seminars and meetings were held for us at the production site.
”Since then, we have been working closely together as partners: selecting optimal YUKO lubricants for our machinery, receiving constant service support with guidance, and a program for testing new products. The company's customer focus is impressive," notes the chief mechanic. VESCO ДEnis Zhmura.
Producing high-quality lubricants is not a simple procedure.
The manufacturer must comply with current environmental requirements, select high-quality components, provide service support and management assistance, and conduct laboratory research and industrial trials at the client's site.
Only in this way can the needs of a specific company be met and equipment be protected from wear and tear.
