Lower-impact Lubrication Without Lower Standards
Eco-friendly lubricants only make sense if they still protect equipment properly. Through Motion, customers in Australia and New Zealand can access biodegradable lubricant options and oil-life solutions that help reduce environmental risk without compromising performance. Conventional lubricants can create a difficult trade-off in environmentally sensitive operations. A spill near soil, waterways, farmland, or marine assets
Clean Up Rust The Smart Way
CRC Evapo-Rust gives industrial operators a fast, non-toxic and highly effective way to remove rust, reducing downtime and eliminating the hazards of traditional cleaning methods. In the past, removing rust meant sparks, fumes and hours of grinding. It was dirty, dangerous work that risked doing more harm than good. Today, thanks to CRC Evapo-Rust, the process has become effortless. With its non-toxic, reusable
Smarter Belting for Reliable Food Production
In food and beverage processing, a conveyor belt is not just a moving surface. It is part of the hygiene system, the uptime equation, and increasingly a way of meeting compliance requirements. Motion New Zealand’s light conveyor belting capability is designed to help processors respond to all three. In food processing, a damaged or poorly
A Broader Engineering Offer for New Zealand industry
Motion’s engineering solutions capability in New Zealand is not confined to a single product line or workshop. It is increasingly about helping customers identify problems, design practical fixes, supply the right components, and support implementation across a wide range of industrial applications. For many industrial customers, engineering support starts with a fairly simple question: who can help solve the problem, rather
Science beats elbow grease in proven parts washing system
CRC’s SmartWasher® replaces solvent-based parts cleaning with a safe, closed-loop bioremediation process – cutting hazardous waste, simplifying maintenance, and improving WHS outcomes. Traditional parts washing often involves the constant purchase of solvent cleaners and the tedious removal of hazardous waste, wasting time and money for maintenance teams. Whether removing oil, carbon, gunk, or grease from parts,
SKF Lubricators – Hands-off reliability
Manual greasing is inconsistent, labour-intensive, and risky in hard-to-reach spots. SKF’s automatic single-point lubricators – supplied by Motion – deliver precise, continuous lubrication to extend equipment life and cut maintenance time. Unexpected plant stoppages can be caused by inconsistent lubrication. Manual greasing can be irregular, difficult to schedule, and a hazardous operation for staff at
Cutting faster, lasting longer
Slow, short-lived abrasives drag down productivity and drive up costs. 3M’s latest Cubitron™ 3 range – available through Motion – delivers higher cutting speed, longer life, and improved operator comfort for maintenance and manufacturing teams. When every minute on the tools counts, abrasive performance matters. 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 builds on the brand’s shaped abrasive grain breakthrough, refining grain geometry and bonding so each
Extending wear life without hot work
In mining plants, abrasion at transfer points and/or changes in the direction of flow can turn into a constant cycle of patching, downtime, and cost. A LOCTITE® wearing compound, supplied through Motion, helped one gold mining operation dramatically extend wear life on a critical ball mill feed pipe – without welding, tiling, or specialist contractors.
Supporting safe, steady food production
In food and beverage manufacturing, maintenance products have to do more than work well. They have to support hygiene, simplify compliance, and help keep production moving. CRC’s food-grade range gives Motion customers in New Zealand a practical way to do all three. In food processing, contamination risk is not limited to ingredients. It can come from lubricants on chains,
MOTION AT QUARRY NZ 2026
New Zealand’s quarry sector has shifted rapidly toward mobile crushing and screening, with tighter margins and higher expectations on uptime. At QuarryNZ in July, Motion will be talking with quarry operators about practical site support – fast response, fit-for-purpose conveyor products, and service routines that reduce breakdown risk. Quarrying has always been a local game: the closer
FOOD-GRADE LUBRICATION FOR DAIRY RELIABILITY
In dairy processing, lubrication must do more than reduce friction. It must protect product integrity, withstand aggressive washdowns, and support reliable operation in high-hygiene environments. Dairy plants operate under constant exposure to moisture, cleaning chemicals, and strict hygiene controls. In these conditions, lubrication becomes a critical risk point. Conventional lubricants can compromise food safety if leaks or
RELIABILITY DESIGNED FOR WASHDOWN AND REGULATION
In food and beverage manufacturing, bearing performance is measured not only in hours run, but in hygiene compliance and production uptime. SKF’s Blue Line units are engineered to withstand aggressive cleaning, reduce contamination risk, and support continuous operation. Food and beverage processing is unforgiving. Production lines often run 24/7, cleaning cycles are frequent and rigorous,
