ExxonMobil Lubricants Private Limited participated at the 18th National Lubricating Grease lnstitute (NLGI) – India Chapter’s Annual Conference and showcased its expertly formulated comprehensive range of greases available in India. The conference, organised by NLGI- India chapter on 05th February 2016 in Lonavala, was a premier platform far grease related industry stakeholders in India. ExxonMobil elaborated on how leveraging comprehensive lubricant technologies and service solutions can help companies enhance safety, achieve environmental care related goals, and maximise productivity, attracting wide attention from participating companies and representatives at the annual grease conference.
Advancement in machine and equipment designs have affected operating parameters and thus the requirement for lubricating greases. As operating parameters like speed, load and temperature vary significantly based upon the equipment, it is practically impossible for a single grease to handle all the diversified applications. Mobil has a balanced portfolio of state-of-the-art, well proved, high-performance lubricants and greases that can cater to the needs of many industrial sectors- including metals, cement, construction, mining, power generation, general manufacturing, plastics, food and beverage, pulp and paper- all backed by ExxonMobil’s technology and industry expertise.
“In modern machinery design and construction, machines function under severe operating conditions with the expectation of increased productivity and less downtime. This has made it difficult for conventional lithium greases to satisfactorily fulfil these requirements. In light of this fact, high performance greases like lithium-complex and calcium-sulfonate are the best candidates for the said applications. While lithium complex greases have excellent compatibility with the most widely used lithium greases, calcium-sulfonate greases are also moderately compatible. Lithium-complex greases generally possess good stability, high temperature characteristics and water-resistance properties which meet the needs of a wide variety of heavy-duty applications and operating conditions. They provide balanced load-carrying capability across a spectrum of loads, speeds and temperatures,” said lmtiaz Ahmed, Asia Pacific Mobil SHC Brand Manager, ExxonMobil Lubricants Private Limited.
To fulfil the unique needs of a wide range of industries, ExxonMobil offers a comprehensive line of greases with advanced technology that are designed to offer customers extended re-greasing intervals, longer equipment life, and greater productivity. This includes synthetics far extreme conditions, poly urea thickener based greases far long life and use in high temperatures, food-grade solutions, and grease far environmentally sensitive applications. The level of grease’s performance depends on the formulation approach. Greases that are developed through a balanced formulation approach often offer significant performance benefits and advantages. Mobil’s advanced formulation greases are designed to provide all round balanced performance. far severe conditions experienced by today’s industrial and mobile equipment.
The mining industry is one of the most fundamental components of the industrial landscape, and also one of the most challenging from a lubrication standpoint. By combining the use of high quality lubricants and an effective technical services program, mining operators can achieve a competitive advantage in their operations, by enhancing productivity and reducing their lubrication consumption which will potentially increase the productivity and reduce downtime of their mining machinery and equipment. In addition, health and safety benefits may also be realised.
“Operators in the mining sector have to balance multiple concerns, as they try to enhance operational safety and keep their machinery running at peak performance, even when it is subjected to extreme temperatures and heavy loads. To help address these issues, it is essential to work closely with mining customers to develop a solutions-focused approach to help protect and maintain equipment across their entire operation. This can be done by leveraging comprehensive lubricant technologies and service solutions, helping companies enhance safety, achieve environmental care-related goals, and maximise productivity. Lubricant programs and services – when delivered from a solutions-oriented approach – can play an important role in advancing productivity in mining operations,” said Shankar Karnik, Generai Manager Industrial, ExxonMobil Lubricants Private Limited.
While the primary function of a lubricant is to protect equipment, reduce unscheduled downtime and extend oil drain intervals, advancements in lubricant technology now mean mining companies can select oils and greases which provide outstanding levels of protection as well as other potential benefits such as improved fuel economy. Heavy-duty diesel, engine oils, hydraulic oils and greases work hand-in-hand to enable mobile machinery on mining sites to operate effectively.
“ExxonMobil’s comprehensive portfolio of oils and greases along with robust services, combine to offer holistic solutions for mining operators.
