Lessons for Longer Life in the Cement Industry
Authored by Preston Rubottom, Lubrication Engineers
The cement industry operates some of the most demanding equipment in the world, where kilns, crushers, mills, and conveyors must run reliably under extreme conditions. Lubrication often goes overlooked, yet it is critical to preventing failures, reducing downtime, and lowering energy costs.
This article, originally published in World Cement, highlights how world class lubrication practices such as contamination control, oil analysis, and automatic lubrication systems can transform plant performance. A case study from a North American cement plant shows how a combined solution using Equipower™ Hydraulic Oil (4934), routine oil analysis, and high-quality offline filtration extended hydraulic oil service life from six months to more than five years, saving over $65,000 and avoiding 12,000 gallons of waste oil.
