ALCO: Azerbaijan's First Wind Turbine Lubricants
Industrial gear oils have always been a position of interest for ALCO. The company’s focus on producing in line with international trends has encouraged its engineers to develop specialty industrial lubricants as opposed to automotive lubricants. One of the most commercially successful industrial lubricants manufactured by ALCO’s Aminol Lubricant Manufacturing Facility are industrial gear oils.
Aminol engineers and comercially-oriented members of the team, as well as all levels of management, are interested in developing specialty industrial fluids for use in the most modern technologies.
The nature of maintenance fluids used for wind turbines, especially offshore wind turbines, fitted perfectly with the goal of engineers to develop a long life, enriched gear oil. Wind turbines are not serviced often due to the relatively more challenging and costly method of servicing, through pumping. Offshore wind turbines are also more prone to oxidation due to their location in high wind and high moisture areas.
