Production equipment

ASSEMBLYRESULT
Forging and pressing toolingPunch and die durability higher by 4-6×
Piston compressors, turbocompressorsOutput and pressure restored; electricity consumption lower by 6-15 %
Hydraulic systems, oil pumpsPump pressure and output restored
Bearings in machine toolsClearances were taken up under normal operation — purchase of scarce bearings was not required
Diamond attachments of machine toolsWorking characteristics fully restored
Bearings removed for repairRestored separately on test rigs — the need to buy them was eliminated

Treatment performed with XADO RVS without teardown of the assemblies; results recorded by the company after operating its equipment fleet.

Company vehicles

PARAMETERRESULT
Fuel consumptionLower by 15 % and more
CO₂ in exhaust gasesLower by 2.5-3.0×
Smoke opacityReduced after restorative repair of the engines
Compression and oil pressureRestored without teardown of the engines
Transmission noiseMechanical noise disappeared as a result of compensating wear of bearings and gears — the overhaul of the vehicles was cancelled

Engines and transmissions of RAF, UAZ, GAZ, ZIL and KAMAZ vehicles were treated under normal operating conditions.

Conclusions of the company

The management of JSC "KharP" recorded: RVS technology makes it possible to selectively compensate wear at the points of friction and contact of parts through the formation of new metal-ceramic coatings at those points. 1. The technology does indeed allow worn assemblies and mechanisms to be restored without teardown under normal operating conditions, which is economically beneficial for the company. 2. The technology effectively allows scheduled repairs to be replaced by scheduled preventive treatment. 3. The presence and properties of metal-ceramic coatings on the friction surfaces lead to a significant increase in the service life of production equipment by 2-3×. 4. Owing to reduced friction losses during operation, savings of more than 10 % in electricity and more than 15 % in fuel are achieved.

The results relate to the production equipment and vehicles of JSC "KharP" treated in 1996–1997; on other machinery and under different operating conditions the figures may differ. The document is a company testimonial, not a measurement report. The original testimonial with signature and stamp is published in full and available for download. RVS is an obsolete XADO designation, the zero-generation compounds; the current product generation is revitalizants.
