Lubricants for the Mining Industry

            Mining operations are conducted around the clock. Accordingly, parts of machinery and equipment are continuously subject to wear. The choice of the right lubricant becomes critically important. A mistake in selection can lead to premature failure of a part, and even to a halt in mining, which will lead to high repair and maintenance costs.

            How can production costs be reduced?

            By using properly selected lubricants, it is possible to increase the service life of the serviced part or unit, increase reliability and ensure continuous operation of machinery and equipment. Reducing lubricant consumption and energy consumption will have a positive effect on operating costs.

            What do you need to know about oil viscosity in different climate zones?

            Equipment and unit manufacturers allow the use of motor oils of various SAE viscosity grades: 15W-40, 5W-40, 10W-30, etc.

            Requirements of leading mining equipment manufacturers

            For stable operation of equipment in harsh winter conditions, Rosneft Lubricants offers Rosneft Revolux D6 Plus 5W-30 - a modern synthetic all-season premium motor oil created using the unique Revolux technology. It is designed for the operation of highly loaded Euro-V/VI diesel engines with exhaust gas aftertreatment systems (EGR, SCR, DPF) of modern equipment.

            Rosneft Revolux D3 10W-30 - developed for use in high-power diesel engines of highway, road construction equipment and city buses that require the use of oils that meet the requirements of modern API CI-4, ACEA E7 specifications and Euro-IV and below environmental standards, including those equipped with an EGR exhaust gas recirculation system.

            When selecting the viscosity of a lubricant, you should always refer to the equipment operation manual. The manufacturer indicates the permissible viscosity grades in accordance with temperature conditions.

            Features of the operation of lubricants in mining equipment. Replacement interval.

            When choosing a lubricant, the operating conditions of mining equipment should be taken into account. Most often, equipment operates in conditions of increased dustiness, prolonged idling of equipment is not excluded. Given these factors, the oil is subject to extreme loads and is not able to show an increased replacement interval. The requirements for the optimal interval for replacing engine oil are specified in the equipment operation manual. The optimal way to determine the replacement of a lubricant is to conduct oil monitoring, which will take into account all the necessary requirements.

            RN-Smazochnye Materialy LLC provides its clients with services for analyzing the condition of lubricants, machinery and equipment.

            The LUBEPRO Monitoring service allows you to monitor the condition of the lubricant and equipment. Specialists take oil samples and send them for analysis to an independent laboratory. In the laboratory, based on the analysis of the lubricant sample, they determine: the general condition of the lubricant, the parameters of changes in its properties and equipment condition indicators. This diagnostics is, first of all, a reliable prevention that helps prevent engine breakdown. The service allows you to significantly increase the efficiency of machinery and equipment, reduce overall costs, and determine oil change intervals.

            The LUBEPRO Diagnostics service provides engine condition monitoring without complete disassembly. Instrumental analysis allows for endoscopy (internal inspection) of the engine. Special equipment allows for diagnostics of the condition of the engine's cylinder-piston group (CPG) for increased deposit formation, the presence of scuffs, scratches, traces of fuel jet impacts, and the degree of cylinder mirror honing. Thanks to the endoscope, it is possible to photograph or make a video recording of the condition of the valves, the top of the piston and the sleeve. This allows you to effectively and rationally monitor the engine resource, and if necessary, carry out preventive maintenance in time. And most importantly, reduce equipment downtime.
