Equipment restoration
Trial results
XADO technology restores friction units while the equipment stays in service. Assess the scope for fuel and electricity savings and for lower operating costs against trial results obtained on transport fleets and at industrial plants. Trial database: 348 test reports and 239 cases from 18 countries; each case comes with a scan of the original document.
Restoration of diesel and petrol engines with XADO revitalizants. Fuel consumption and compression before and after treatment are recorded in the test reports.
The treatment result depends on the initial degree of wear.

Equipment problems
Increased fuel and electricity consumption, vibration, loss of compression. Select a problem to compare the measurements before and after treatment and to open the test reports.
Pilot trial programme
at your plant
Verify the effect of XADO technology on your own equipment before applying it across the fleet. XADO supplies the compounds, the treatment method and an engineer for the measurements.
From consultation to result
Start with a consultation on your equipment. XADO helps to prepare and carry out the pilot treatment, following the unit's procedure from instruction IE-24.6-25612000-005-2008, with specialist support.
- 1
Consultation
We discuss your machinery, equipment and components. We determine whether the unit is admitted for treatment and the list of measurements.
- 2
Trial preparation
We help to select the unit for the pilot treatment. We agree the parameters to be measured under the unit's procedure from instruction IE-24.6-25612000-005-2008.
- 3
Treatment and support
We provide the materials for the pilot treatment at no charge. A specialist supports the trials remotely and on site.
- 4
Result assessment
We compare the measurements before and after treatment, document the results and assess the economic effect.

Electricity savings calculator
Preliminary savings calculation based on the trials of geared drives at industrial plants. The median of the selected results is 8.85%, the calculated range is 5.22–20%.
Calculation for one year
By the median of the selected test reports: 8.85%. Enter the data and press “Calculate the savings”.
USD
Calculated saving per yearkWh
Calculated reduction in consumptionhours of operation per year for each component
The power is derived from the electrical parameters entered: for a three-phase supply √3 × U × I × PF / 1000; single-phase U × I × PF / 1000; DC U × I / 1000.
The economic effect depends on the type of equipment, the degree of wear and the measurement method. A pilot treatment with measurements at your plant refines the result for a specific component.
Sample test reports and calculation methodSources and conditions
| Sample test reports | Input data | Used in the calculation |
|---|---|---|
| Dnepropetrovsk Tube Rolling Plant “Ural-2M”, two-strand tube drawing | 440 A × 450 V → 385 A × 470 V 198 → 180.95 kW by the formula in the report | 8.61% |
| GPO Azot R-102S, load 70% | 230 → 218 A | 5.22% |
| Nikolaev Alumina Refinery ZB-360Pm, constant resisting torque | 550 → 500 A; voltage and speed held constant | 9.09% |
| Gomelsteklo Conveyor drive, constant resisting torque | 50–55 → 40 A; voltage and speed held constant | 20% — the lower estimate in the report |
Basis of the calculation: results of trials on geared drives under working conditions. Differences between the equipment and the trial conditions are reflected in the calculated range. The test reports listed above are the sources of the coefficients used.
Method: reduction = (before − after) / before × 100%. For current measurements, the conversion into energy savings conditionally assumes unchanged voltage and power factor. For “Ural-2M” the power formula from the report is used; for “Gomelsteklo”, the lower estimate of 20%. The median is 8.85%, the range of the selected coefficients 5.22–20%.
Annual saving: power of one component × hours of operation per year × number of identical components × percentage reduction. Saving in USD = kWh saved × tariff. Treatment costs are not included in the calculation.
The calculation serves as a preliminary guide. The type of equipment, the degree of wear, the load and the measurement method all affect the result. A pilot treatment establishes the economic effect under the conditions of your plant.
