Recently I heard about a technology of repairing damaged rotating parts by adding some additives to the lub oil,called xado.
I had some net survey and found it interesting. But no practical case.
Has anybody have a practical experiance(successful or failed)using this facility?

First time reading about it. http://www.xado-us.com/faq.html

Steroids for machinery! What are the side effects?
Walt

Working for a mining company, we have used another producto called Mecacyl, don't know if is the same idea but sounds like a simmilar product. Results were good for bearings and gear reducers, temperature and acceleration were down for a time then we could save time and don't stop machines till next scheduled maintenance. The only problem was silica levels were more than 2000 ppm, only because product is based on thm mineral then we can't monitore oil contaminant.

Look like a self-healing compound? Who else has used it?

As I found ,
Its a kind of revitalization technologies.
Site: www.xado.com
But my question is still remaining,
Any Practical Experience Or Case Study?
What results?

Try www.xado.co.uk they have a test report you can download.

Go to www.xado.co.uk click on - What is xado? on menu and there is a test report listed as the last item on the sub menu.

Seem interesting, perhaps is does work?

Ali, perhaps you want to test first for us?

A lot of notes on application and benefits for industrial machinery but lack of test results.

The test report available is only for cars.

Does this stuff really revitalise worn out surfaces? Does it mean in theory we don't have to replace worn out parts eg bearings forever unless we forget to top up xado before excessive wear occurs?

That would go against all laws of physics, maybe the same stuff they have been using in Terminator 3? I know that for used cars they sometimes put sawdust in the gearbox to fool a naive buyer.

It's a nano technology for maintenance free?

Did anyone try this XADO - would be interested in any reports. We have had good experience both with the diesel engine blister packs for our delivery vehicles see - http://www.xado.co.uk/engine_treatment_oil_additives.htm

as well as the grease for one of our production lines, see - http://www.xado.co.uk/xado_uk_greases_lubricants.htm

All I can say is that it did what it said it would do!!
