Description:

The basic function of a sugar mill is to crush sugar cane to produce juice which is used for making sugar and various other sugar derived products. Crushing mills hence are of prime importance as the process of crushing cane is done through them. This generates lots of loading on the journal bearings of these mills and hence these mill bearings need superior lubrication at all times. To provide specialized lubrication to these critical bearings, sugar mills are nowadays switching to the
use of centralized lubrication systems for lubricating these components. The oil/ grease required to lubricate these mill bearings have to bear the severe conditions of loading and water washout. Moreover these oil/greases should be easily pumpable through the centralized lubricating systems. Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) has developed a new grade specifically for the crushing mill bearing lubrication required in the sugar industries, named as MAK HITEMP XTRA SM
GREASE which is clay thickened non-soap base grease is processed with high viscosity base oil. It contains molybdenum disulphide and other high performance additives, which provides this grease with higher load bearing ability and excellent water resistance.

Application:

• This is used in the lubrication of machine elements, plain bearing and anti-friction bearings operating at high temperature and shock load conditions
• Specially developed and recommended for lubrication of crushing mill journal bearings of sugar Mill industries

Benefits:

• Higher Load Bearing Ability – Grease works well in heavy load conditions and in turn reduces the bearing damage and maintenance
• Good Oxidation Resistance - Lubricant life is more and can run for longer period
• Excellent Water Resistance - Does not wash away due to water/juice sprays over bearings and greases, hence grease consumption also reduces
• Good Pumpability - Easily pumpable through centralized lubrication systems and ensures proper lubrication of greasing points at all times
