Introduction
In mining, quarrying, and heavy construction operations, rock breakers are essential for fragmenting hard rock into manageable sizes for downstream processing. Mounted on excavators or stationary rigs, the Rock Breaker operates under extreme impact conditions where continuous high-energy blows are transmitted through the tool into the material. Within the broader Mining industry, the reliability and efficiency of rock breakers directly influence productivity, equipment uptime, and operating cost.
In such high-intensity applications, lubrication is not merely a protective layer—it is a critical enabler of equipment durability and productivity.
This case study highlights how a technically engineered lubrication solution addresses severe wear, contamination, and impact challenges in rock breaker operations, delivering enhanced performance, longer service intervals, and measurable cost benefits in mining and construction environments.
Challenge
- Increased clearance & vibration
- Rapid wear of chisel, bush & pins
- Leads to film failure → metal-to-metal contact
- Frequent re-greasing duration
- Poor adhesion on the chisel surface
Expectation
- Withstands extreme shock and impact loads
- Maintains strong lubricating film under vibration
- Provides excellent anti-wear protection for tool & bushes
- High temperature stability (no melting/smoking)
- Strong adhesion (no throw-off during operation
Recommendation
MOSIL AS 20, MOSIL AS 160 ( For Manual Lubrication)
MOSIL AS 80 ( For Centralized Lubrication )
Application Benefits
- Ensures reliable lubrication under extreme impact and shock loads
- Reduces wear of chisel, bush, and pins
- Resistant to dust, debris, and water contamination
- Extends service life of critical components
- Excellent adhesion prevents grease throw-off during operation
