Fleet Maintenance features varnish article written by Schaeffer.
Jim Carroll, Schaeffer's vice president of technical services, describes how hydraulic systems can fall victim to varnish formulation and how Schaeffer's VarniShield® can prevent it.
Blended into our hydraulic fluids, VarniShield® is a fully formulated anti-wear additive system that eliminates varnish and sludge problems and delivers a higher resistance to oxidation.
Schaeffer teamed up with Ranken Technical College to find out how a customer's million miles Ford 5.4L gasoline engine looks after running exclusively on Schaeffer Oil.
The experts were shocked to see the condition of this workhorse. Even the engine's main bearings still had the manufacturer's original numbers inked on them.
"Since using Schaeffer's grease our bearing replacement has decreased by more than half." Jerry O'Bryan, maintenance.

Before switching to Schaeffer, Riley Tool and Machine was having many difficulties grinding. Todd Riley said, "We have noticed on the shredder blades we do for the tire recycling industry that the grinding stones are lasting 15% longer. The reason for this is we don't have to redress the stones as often because the new coolant keeps the parts much cleaner and cooler. On some other parts we do for other companies, we have noticed that we are able to do all the parts without having to dress the stones at all. Also we noticed that the machine does stay cleaner. We are very satisfied with MaxKool SS."
