Mobilgrease XHP™ 222 helps Vijay Durga stone crushers save more than US$ 10,000 annually

Equipment: Marsman Stone Crusher
Plant: Vijay Durga Stone Crushers
Address: Andhra Pradesh, India
 
Situation
Vijay Durga Stone Crushers uses conventional lithium soap-based grease to lubricate the flywheel used in the Marsman Stone Crusher. This led to excessive grease consumption and frequent bearing failures.

Recommendation
The ExxonMobil Lube Engineer analyzed the situation and recommended Mobilgrease XHP™ 222- a ISO VG 220 grade base oil viscosity and lithium complex thickener-based grease- as a solution for bearing failures and grease consumption.

Result
Since the implementation of Mobilgrease XHP™ 222, an annual saving of US$ 10,199 has been achieved. In summary, to date the benefits resulted in:
  • Reduction of bearing failures from 3 per year to NIL
  • Reduction of grease consumption by 50%
  • Realizing a potentially lost production of US$6,000 per annum
