At Storz Hydraulik, we are committed to sustainability by using only green electricity, optimizing our production processes to reduce CO2 emissions, and developing durable products to minimize associated emissions.
In addition, we promote the use of sustainable hydraulic oil and offer a lifetime overhaul service for our products to extend their service life and use resources efficiently.
With our cylinders having a service life of up to 50 years, we minimize CO2 emissions from new production. We practice sustainability through longevity.
Our cylinders can be serviced by us throughout their entire service life. This extends the operating time of a Storz cylinder and reduces CO2 emissions at the same time.
We have perfected the use of materials in the manufacture of hydraulic cylinders, thereby reducing waste and further lowering CO2 emissions.
We use 100% green electricity from renewable energy sources for all our processes in the manufacture of our cylinders.
We constantly strive to optimize our processes and use all of our waste heat to support our heating circuit.
We exclusively use smart LED lights throughout the entire company.
Once a Storz cylinder has reached the end of its service life, we offer a professional disposal service.
We only use sustainable hydraulic oil, which saves 317 kg of CO2/t compared to conventional hydraulic oil.
Our standard protection for hydraulic cylinders is water-based and therefore very compatible with humans and the environment.
Storz hydraulic cylinders contribute to greater sustainability thanks to their long-life cycle. The hydraulic cylinders, a crucial element in the production line of a leading tire manufacturer, had short life cycles and high maintenance costs. Storz, a distribution partner, analyzed defective cylinders from the competitor and developed improved products that offer three times the service life and a 200% increase in operational life made possible.
The implementation in 2013 led to a significant reduction of a standstill period. The implementation in 2013 led to a significant reduction in downtime. Almost nine years later, Storz hydraulic cylinders have outperformed competing products in terms of service life, resulting in substantial cost savings and a sustainable improvement in production processes.
Our hydraulic cylinders are also used in the generation of green energy. A remarkable example is the use of the guide-vane servomotor in pump turbines, where precision and reliability are crucial.
In pump turbines, hydraulic cylinders play a crucial role in controlling the guide vanes. These movable blades are essential for regulating the water flow in the turbine’s impellers, which in turn has a significant impact on the rotational speed. Our specially designed cylinders, such as the guide vane servo motor, enable precise control of these guide vanes, resulting in efficient energy generation. By integrating our high-quality hydraulic components, pump turbines contribute significantly to the use of renewable energy sources.
