These 3 Hidden Cost Traps Are Destroying Your Profitability Daily
While you waste hundreds of euros daily, your colleagues in the pellet industry are already saving six-figure sums. How much longer do you want to just watch?
Lubricant Waste - Are You Paying 20x More Than Necessary?
It's Monday morning, 7:15 AM. Your shift manager calls: “We need lubricant again, the third barrel this week is empty.” You think to yourself: “Again? This can't be normal.” In the afternoon, the invoice arrives: Another €2,250 for a barrel that's used up in three days. While you wonder why other facilities manage with less, your budget is running away. In the evening, you calculate: €45,000 per year just for lubricant. Something's not right here...
Constant Breakdowns - How Often Do Your Facilities Need to Stand Still?
The phone rings in the middle of a family barbecue. “Boss, bearing 3 is gone. Complete shutdown.” Your stomach tightens. This is the fourth time in two months. While your family waits, you organize emergency technicians (€160/hour, weekend surcharge), replacement parts (express delivery €500 extra) and explain to your most important customer why their delivery will be two days late again. On Monday, you calculate: €4,520 for a bearing change. And in 500 hours? The same game..
Customer Pressure Rises - How Long Will Your Clients Accept Your CO₂ Balance?
You open the email from your major customer. Subject: “Sustainability report required for supplier evaluation.” Your heart sinks. You know that your 93 tons of CO₂ emissions won't look good. While you consider how to sugarcoat the €8,370 CO₂ costs, you think about the competition. Do they have better numbers? At the last industry meeting, a competitor boasted about his “green production”. What if the next order goes to the more sustainable provider?
Had enough of these costly problems? Over 80 companies have already found the solution.
The Secret Behind 95% Less Consumption with Better Performance
What sounds like a contradiction is pure Swiss engineering: Our hexagonal ceramic particles work completely differently than conventional lubricants.
Imagine: Millions of tiny ceramic platelets form a protective micro-layer on your bearing surfaces under pressure. This hybrid surface is smoother than any polish and harder than steel – but only a fraction as thick.
The result: Less friction means less material needed, but paradoxically better protection. It’s as if you achieve the same effect with a drop of oil as you used to with a whole liter.
Bearings with Long-Term Guarantee
5,000+ hours of trouble-free operation mean: Your weekends belong to you again. No emergency calls, no Saturday repairs, no explanations to impatient customers. Enjoy the peace that reliability brings.
Your Budget Can Breathe Again
95-98% less lubricant consumption means: No more “We need more lubricant again” on Monday mornings. Your purchasing team will love you for it.
When Quality Matters
NSF H1 certification gives you the assurance: Your employees work safely, your products remain pure. In critical applications, every detail counts. Rely on proven safety.
Your Green Competitive Advantage
93.8 tons of CO₂ savings per year make you the preferred supplier. More and more tenders evaluate sustainability - you're ready. While competitors have to explain, you convince with facts.

Ceramic Lubricants for Every Pelleting Application
Animal Feed or Wood Pellets? Both Benefit from the Same Technology
Whether you produce animal feed for healthy animals or wood pellets for clean energy – your challenges are identical: bearing wear, high lubricant costs, and unplanned downtime. Our ceramic technology solves these problems across industries. Over 80 companies from both sectors already trust our solution.
Animal Feed Pelleting
When Hygiene Standards Meet Production Pressure
You know the challenge: Your facilities need to run 24/7, but any downtime in feed production not only jeopardizes deadlines but also hygiene standards. It becomes particularly critical when conventional lubricants become a contamination risk in case of food contact.
This is where Bathan comes in: We developed a solution for a client that solves both problems simultaneously. Our NSF H1 certified ceramic technology not only eliminates 96.8% of lubricant consumption but also makes your production audit-proof.
The result: The client now produces trouble-free with 4 CPM presses and saves €131,105 annually. Without compromising on hygiene or performance.
Wood Pellet Production
When Sustainability Pressure Meets Cost Pressure
Your situation: Customers demand sustainable wood pellets, but the production itself causes high CO₂ emissions and operating costs. A dilemma that many wood pellet producers know – being able to sell sustainably, but not produce sustainably.
Bathan’s Approach: For a client, we developed a solution that combines sustainability and profitability. Our ceramic technology not only reduces lubricant consumption by 95% but also lowers the CO₂ footprint by 93.8 tons annually.
The result: Our client now produces not only more profitably with 6 presses (€198,376 savings), but also uses their improved CO₂ balance as a real competitive advantage.
