Mobilgrease XHP™ 322 Mine has extended the re-greasing interval by 4X times in the Excavator bush pin which has resulted in potential annual savings of USD 1,037,308
Equipment: Mining Excavators
Plant: Sushee Hi-tech Projects Pvt Ltd
Address: Mancheriyal, India.
Situation
The excavator’s bush pins were manually re-greased at a shorter interval which leads to frequent stoppage of the equipment which resulted in productivity loss, high grease consumption and maintenance man-hours. The reason for the shorter re-greasing interval is due to the inability of the competitor EP2 grease to work under heavy duty bush pins.
Recommendation
ExxonMobil Field Engineering Services (FES) team’s investigation findings has recommended Sushee Hi-tech Projects Pvt Ltd to use Mobilgrease XHP™ 322 Mine in the bush pins to extend the re-greasing interval from 6 to 24 hours.
- Extended re-greasing interval by 4x
- Environmental Improvement – 26,770 Kg
- Revenue Improvement – USD 1,037,308
Impact
Mobilgrease XHP™ 322 Mine has extended the re-greasing interval by 4X times (6 to 24 hours) resulting in increased productivity, decreased grease consumption and reduced maintenance man-hours.
