Molygraph MFG 150 ST 3 achieves 30% cost savings through extended re-lubrication intervals, providing superior performance.
2 min read | 20 July 2023
Overview
Stone-crushing equipment is subjected to heavy loads under harsh conditions. A stone-crushing customer faced problems concerning the existing lubricant, which was resulting in bearing failures due to the inability of the grease to stay in place. Molygraph recommended MFG ST-3, a grease specifically developed for the stone crusher industry, that has now become the industry benchmark.
Challenge
Crusher bearings are subjected to high loads, continuous operation, and hot and humid conditions. Conventional EP greases cannot maintain the performance and either dry out or are squeezed out of the bearings. There were three critical issues the customer was facing.
- The inability of the grease to stay in the crusher bearings
- Frequent relubrication
- Bearing failures
Solution
A MULTIFUNCTIONAL HEAVY-DUTY GREASE
The Molygraph recommended MFG 150 ST-3 is a special metal complex grease with a state-of-the-art additive package as well as special tackifiers that make sure that grease maintains high degrees of adhesion.
Benefits
- High EP & Load properties.
- Excellent adhesion due to the addition of special tackifiers.
- Excellent shear stability at higher loads
- Excellent water resistance property
- High-temperature oxidation stability
- Guards against rust and corrosion
- Performs well in adverse conditions
Benefits of Molygraph MFG 150 ST 3
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | COMPETITOR PRODUCT | MFG 150 ST 3 | TEST METHOD | MOLYGRAPH ADVANTAGE |
Drop Point (°C) | 190 | 100 | ASTM D 2265 | Good performance at a higher temperature |
Base Oil Viscosity at 40°C (cSt) | 180-200 | 1000 | ASTM D 445 | Superior film-forming capability |
Four Ball Weld Load (N) | 2500 | 5000 | ASTM D 2596 | Better performance under higher loads |
Solid Lubricant | Nil | MoS2 | - | Extension in re-lubrication interval |
Product Specifications:
MFG 150 ST 3
A MULTIFUNCTIONAL HEAVY-DUTY GREASE
- Base Oil: Mineral
- Base Oil Viscosity @ 40°C : 100 cSt
- Operating Temperature Range: -20 to +120°C
- Packaging: 20 Kg | 180 Kg
Result
- A high degree of adhesion doubled the relubrication interval from their existing product
- The grease was not squeezed out of the bearing due to the highest in-class load-carrying properties
- Savings of over 30% are just due to increased relubrication intervals, leading to lower grease consumption.
Extended durability of the equipment
