Technical Lectures
Hear from top professionals in the field, alongside practical demonstrations and case studies in fluid power and hydraulics.
10:45 am – 11:30 am: Biodegradable Lubricants
Victoria Parrott from Shell PANOLIN will explain how high-performance lubricants can meet environmental standards while protecting equipment. The session covers why biodegradable lubricants are used, their applications, and how advanced fluids such as synthetic esters deliver both environmental performance and equipment protection. Attendees will also learn about a range of readily biodegradable, low ecotoxicity lubricants that meet stringent standards and Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant (EAL) criteria.
11:45 am – 12:30 pm: Machinery & Process Safety
Chris Brogli of ROSS Pneumatrol will share practical strategies to improve safety across machinery and process environments. The talk includes risk assessments, lockout/tagout procedures, and layered safety controls, highlighting system-level approaches to operational safety. Attendees will also gain insight into safety guidebooks and tools that help elevate safety standards globally.
2:00 pm – 2:45 pm: Machine Hydraulic Efficiency
Jon Starkey from Husco will present methods to optimise hydraulic efficiency and overall machine performance. The lecture covers machine testing, data collection, and efficiency analysis, showing how insights drive product development. A real-world example demonstrates how Husco’s MX valve family improved the hydraulic efficiency of a modern construction machine, regardless of energy source.
