CLIENT STORY
A sponge iron plant in Eastern India made an annual savings of over 25% on the grease cost in addition to the reduced maintenance downtime with Molygraph's SPRAYLUBE 1250
2 min read | 30 May 2023
Overview
Being the heart of the mill, Girth gear’s efficiency and life is very crucial
for the system. Girth gears are subjected to challenging operating
conditions like dust, dirt, extreme temperatures, water ingress and heavy
loads. These conditions demand special lubricants that can achieve
smooth running, can reduce wear and prevent corrosion without getting
fling off or building up in the gear.
Challenges
A sponge iron plant in Eastern India was spending heavily on the greasing of Kiln girth gear but still was facing issues like higher consumption, sludge formation in the teeth, less coverage area along with blocking of nozzles and wear of the gears.
The manufacturer reached out to Molygraph for a solution. Our Product Experts suggested which could perform better than the existing grease in harsh conditions of the mill area.
Solution

Premium Grade Sprayable Fluid grease for Heavy Duty Open Gears.
- Resistance to water washout.

Result
