CLIENT STORY
A sponge iron plant achieves 20% cost savings and a 75% reduction in grease top-up with Molygraph SG 1000 M 50 grease
2 min read | 30 May 2023
Overview
A sponge iron plant in India was spending heavily on greasing critical support bearings on the kilns & coolers. But they have faced multiple issues like oxidation at higher temperatures, frequent re lubrication, etc. Molygraph’s application experts recommended SG 1000 M 50 grease that provided superior lubrication, better reliability, longer component life, and enabled ~20% cost savings and a 75% reduction in grease top-ups.
Challenges
- Higher Loads
- High Temperature
- Frequent Re lubrication
- Higher Consumption
Solution
SG 1000 M 50
A SHEER STABLE EP FORTIFIED WATER RESISTANT GREASE FOR HIGH-LOAD APPLICATIONS
Molygraph’s application experts studied the requirement and recommended Molygraph’s SG 1000 M 50 grease. Even though the per Kg price of this grease was higher than the customer’s conventional grease, Molygraph promised lesser life cycle cost with longer lube change interval and enhanced reliability due to the high-performance specifications of this grease.
Benefits
- Contains high-purity MoS2
- Excellent shear stability at higher loads
- Excellent water resistance property
- The presence of Solid Lubricants improves load carrying and anti-wear properties
- Protects against rust and corrosion
- The high viscosity of base oil
- Fortified with EP additives
