Mining industry must make materials extraction process profitable through the use of high efficiency machinery. In most of the cases these machines are working in extreme conditions:
- High loads and pressures.
- Presence of aggressive material for mechanical component, like dust, water, etc.
- Location in difficult or dangerous access places that makes maintenance and reparation tasks more costly and unsafe.
These operating conditions affect to the requirements of lubricants needed for an optimum performance of the machines. The use of lubricants developed according to these requirements offers the following advantages:
- Lower total cost compared with conventional lubricants due to the extension of lubrication intervals.
- Savings in maintenance and repair labour cost.
- Higher machine availability.
- Significant savings in production costs
