Introduction
In modern steel manufacturing, the continuous casting process is a critical link between molten metal production and downstream rolling operations. The Continuous Casting Machine enables the direct solidification of molten steel into billets, blooms, or slabs with high efficiency and consistency. Within the Steel industry, this process is central to achieving productivity, yield optimization, and product quality.
Given the continuous and high-throughput nature of steel casting, lubrication is not merely a support function—it is a critical factor in ensuring process stability, product quality, and operational profitability.
This case study demonstrates how a technically engineered lubrication solution addresses high-temperature, high-load, and contamination challenges in continuous caster machines, delivering improved reliability, longer service intervals, and measurable performance gains in steel manufacturing operations
Challenge
- Caking formation due to high temperature
- Grease emulsifies due to water contact
- Bearing wear due to heavy shock load
- Oil bleeding leads to premature bearing failure
Expectation
- Excellent high-temperature stability (resists burning & oxidation)
- Strong resistance to water washout and emulsification
- High load carrying capacity (EP performance)
- Effective protection against scale, dust, and contaminants
- Low oil separation and good sealing compatibility
Recommendation
MOSIL BRB 640 & MOSIL BRB 746/1 { For Centralized Greasing }
MOSIL BRB 746 { For Manual Greasing }
Application Benefits
- Reliable lubrication under high temperature and water spray conditions
