Lubrication Oil Reimagined - ORS by Hatebur

Setting new standards in hotforming by saving costs and protecting the environment

In today’s metal forming industry, efficiency and sustainability go hand in hand. Every drop of oil counts – especially in high-performance forming machines like the Hatebur Hotmatic series, which operate under extreme technical demands. These presses consume large volumes of premium lubricating oil that, during operation, mix with coolant and particles. Until now, this used oil had to be replaced and disposed of at significant cost.

With the innovative Lubrication Oil Regeneration System (ORS), Hatebur offers a breakthrough solution: a closed-loop system that recycles used lubricating oil to near-original quality. The result is up to 90 % oil reuse, lower operating costs, and a valuable contribution to environmental protection.

A clean solution: Precision separation for premium results

The core of the ORS is a high-performance, self-cleaning three-phase centrifuge. It precisely separates oil, water, and solids – automatically discharging impurities and ensuring a continuous, reliable process.

After centrifugation, the oil undergoes several treatment stages including preheating, evaporation, fine filtration, and quality monitoring. A built-in contamination sensor continuously measures oil purity and only releases the regenerated oil back into production when all quality parameters are met.

The system operates virtually maintenance-free, delivering consistent performance shift after shift.

Smart integration, intelligent control and total flexibility

Designed for maximum adaptability, the ORS can be configured in line with one or more presses or as a central system serving multiple machines via an intermediate tank. 

The system impresses with its suitability for both horizontal and vertical presses, making it an extremely versatile solution for different production environments and machine concepts. 

Each unit connects through preassembled hoses with quick couplings, allowing plug-and-play installation with minimal effort.

A Hatebur-engineered PLC control system ensures perfect synchronization of all process steps. Thanks to remote access, diagnostics, and software updates can be performed quickly – keeping uptime high and operating costs low.

Quality you can measure

To confirm separation efficiency and oil compatibility, Hatebur conducts preliminary laboratory tests tailored to each customer’s lubricant and additive combination. During the first months of operation, periodic oil analyses for viscosity and lubricity are recommended – ensuring optimal long-term performance.

Two parallel fine filters allow filter replacement without interrupting operation. With just one annual inspection, the ORS offers unmatched convenience and reliability.

Proven in practice: Customers are already benefiting

The ORS is not just a concept – it’s already delivering results. Two systems are currently in operation at customer sites, running smoothly and delivering measurable value. Both users report high satisfaction, lower oil consumption, and tangible cost savings thanks to the regeneration process.

For these companies, ORS is more than a system – it’s an investment that pays for itself, typically within a year.

Sustainable by design

The ORS is designed in two performance sizes – 35 l/h and 50 l/h – and can therefore be optimally adapted to different production volumes and oil consumption levels. 

By reducing oil purchases and waste disposal, users not only save money, but also minimize their ecological footprint. The ORS is Hatebur's answer to sustainable production – a combination of advanced technology and responsible use of resources.

A future-proof choice for sustainable oil treatment

The Hatebur oil regeneration system embodieseverything that modern manufacturing stands for: intelligent technology, cost efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Its modular design, intelligent control system, and virtually maintenance-free operation make it a future-oriented solution for treating heavily contaminated oils in a wide range of industrial applications.
