The Composition Sheet includes a detailed list of materials used in our pumps. It covers both metal components, such as stainless steel, cast iron, aluminium, and copper, as well as high-performance plastics, elastomers, and sealing materials.
By making this information available, we provide full transparency on the resources used in our manufacturing process.
Beyond listing the materials, the Composition Sheet also provides an in-depth analysis of their chemical composition. It identifies the chemical elements contained within the pump, such as iron, carbon, chromium, and nickel, and specifies their respective quantities. This level of detail allows for precise material assessments and facilitates environmentally responsible disposal practices.
By understanding the exact composition, we ensure a more sustainable approach to production and recycling.
Lubricants play a vital role in the functionality and longevity of our pumps. The Composition Sheet specifies the types of lubricants used, including hydraulic oils and greases, along with their exact quantities. This transparency ensures customers and stakeholders are informed about the maintenance requirements and environmental considerations associated with our lubrication systems.
To provide a complete picture of our environmental impact, the Composition Sheet includes data on the CO₂ emissions of our pumps, measured according to Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission categories.
Scope 1 covers direct emissions generated by our own operations, while Scope 2 accounts for indirect emissions resulting from purchased energy, such as electricity consumption in our offices and production facilities. Scope 3 data will be made available as soon as reliable data is available to Hidrostal.
Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our efforts to minimize these emissions by using recycled materials, renewable electricity, and avoiding rare earth elements. Additionally, our local production in Europe reduces transportation-related emissions and enhances supply chain sustainability.
Ensuring the longevity and repairability of our pumps is a key factor in reducing environmental impact. The Composition Sheet includes a repair index based on the European standard EN45554, which assesses how easily a pump can be repaired.
A high repair index translates into lower life cycle costs and less waste, supporting a more sustainable approach to product ownership and maintenance.
Hidrostal pumps comply with strict European regulations concerning hazardous substances and chemical safety. The Composition Sheet confirms that our products meet ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals) standards. Through thorough material testing, we ensure that our pumps do not contain prohibited substances such as lead, cadmium, or mercury. Additionally, we provide comprehensive documentation, including declarations of conformity for all relevant components and materials, guaranteeing that our products adhere to the highest environmental and safety standards.
A key component of the Composition Sheet is the recycling rate of our pumps. For parts manufactured in Hidrostal’s own foundry only, we disclose the recycled content. This information highlights our commitment to promoting a circular economy and conserving resources. If we also would take our suppliers recycling rate into account, the Recycling Rate would be even higher.
