Lubrication Solutions for the Cement Industry
Because of the extreme operating conditions of cement production, the industry is a challenging environment for lubricants. Proper lubrication is absolutely essential to ensure reliable operation, reduce wear, and extend the life of machinery.
Typical applications and their lubrication challenges
High Temperatures: Equipment like kilns, clinker coolers, and mills operate at very high temperatures. This makes it vital you use lubricants with high thermal stability to prevent breakdown under heat.
Heavy Loads and High Impact: Crushers, mills, and conveyor systems endure heavy loads. This require lubricants with high load-carrying capacity and anti-wear properties to prevent metal-to-metal contact.
Dusty Environment: Cement production generates an awful lot of dust which can contaminate lubricants and lead to abrasive wear. Lubrication solutions must include protection of seals condition and techniques to minimize dust ingress.
Continuous Operation: Cement plants often must operate continuously, with minimal downtime for maintenance. So, lubricants must provide extended life reducing the need for frequent relubrication.
Corrosion and Moisture: Exposure to moisture and chemicals during the various stages of cement production can cause damaging corrosion. This calls for lubricants with special rust and corrosion inhibitors.
