- Environmental balance of our customers is demonstrably improved through FRIESS technologies.
We Make You More Environmentally Friendly!
A positive side effect: Thanks to the Friess fluid cleaning repertoire, your environmental balance is improved. This is because a smaller quantity of fluid has to be disposed of or even consumed again.
For example, the service life of wash water can be increased by 100% when an oil skimmer is used. And electrostatic oil purification systems reduce the amount of waste oil from hydraulic systems and turbines by up to 90%.
This means that our technologies greatly reduce the creation, transport and disposal of many thousands of tons of wastewater, used oil and used emulsions.
Versatile in Use
Our equipment is used in numerous industries. In the steel industry as well as in the automotive industry we help customers to treat their process fluids. FRIESS is used in the same way in the metal processing and chemical industries or in refineries, airports and the food industry.
Customers particularly appreciate our technologies for the fact that they pay for themselves within a very short time. As a rule, we achieve a return on investment in less than 12 months.
International and Yet Rooted Locally
Customers all over the world trust in the performance and saving potential of our units. We believe that the best way to provide qualified advice is on site. Therefore, we have local representatives in all important industrial nations in Europe and Asia.
All FRIESS products are made in Germany. We are particularly proud of our assembly at the Monheim am Rhein site and our German quality standards.
The company’s own solar plants generate environmentally friendly electricity. And more than is needed at our site in Monheim. In this way, FRIESS GmbH makes another essential contribution to a positive environmental balance.
