Lubricants for the cement industry

Cement plants produce around the clock. As stoppages of rotary kilns and temperature losses become more and more expensive in the face of rising energy prices, and specially manufactured spare parts such as girth gears for kilns and mills may take months to be delivered and entail enormous costs, operators are facing a mounting challenge: the need to reduce—or ideally fully prevent—machine downtime.

One of the most common causes of bearing and industrial gear failures is inadequate lubrication. At the same time, most applications in cement plants that require lubrication offer great potential. For better reliability, optimised consumption, increased energy efficiency, and lower total cost of ownership—provided the right products are used.

Klüber Lubrication offers you a broad portfolio of lubricants specifically tailored to your needs as an operator in the cement industry: High performance even in extreme environments, excellent protection against wear, and therefore the optimal basis to optimise the reliability of your machines and your profitability.

You can find more information about our partners NOVEXA, specialising in restoring girth gear profiles with market-leading precision, and DALOG, experts for online remote monitoring as part of predictive and proactive maintenance, on their corresponding websites.

Multiple applications—our offer

In the cement industry, systems are exposed to particularly extreme operating conditions, such as high levels of contamination or strong vibrations. This not only makes the maintenance and servicing of your machines a challenging task, but also puts the lubricant used before the highest demands. Since ‘standard’ lubricants will often only provide inadequate solutions in these applications, we support you with products that are tailored to the needs of the cement industry.
