Introduction
In cement manufacturing, kiln cooler fans play a critical role in clinker cooling and maintaining stable plant operations. Operating continuously under high temperatures, heavy loads, dust, and vibration, the reliability of fan bearings directly impacts equipment uptime and maintenance costs.
In such demanding conditions, effective lubrication is essential for minimizing friction, controlling bearing temperature, and preventing premature wear.
This case study highlights how a technically engineered lubrication solution enhances bearing reliability, extends lubrication intervals, and delivers measurable maintenance and cost benefits.
Challenge
- Existing grease melts & drips due to high bearing operating temperatures of up to 90°C
- Frequent re-greasing required at short intervals of just 2 days
- High grease consumption leads to increased maintenance requirements and lubrication costs
Expectation
Solution
MOSIL SN - 5120
Application Benefits
- No grease melting or dripping observed during regular visual inspections
- Bearing operating temperature stabilized between 55°C and 60°C.
- Re-lubrication interval significantly extended from 2 days to 60 days, reducing grease consumption and maintenance requirements.
