Hot Strip Mill

Specialty Lubricants for Steel Plant

BECHEM’s Highlub FA 67-400 and Highlub LT 2 EP developed in collaboration with German steel manufacturers and Academic community have helped reduce lubrication quantity for its customers by 50%, resulting in substantial cost savings.

High shock loads, process water ingress and higher rotational speeds characterize operation of a hot strip mill. Lubricants with good adhesive property , corrosion protection and sealing ability would help optimize performance of plants.

BECHEM range of lubricants for hot strip mills

BECHEM High Lub FA 67 400

Heavy duty, long life grease with excellent water resistance and corrosion protection properties. High-Lub FA 67 400 reduces friction and wear on mechanisms subjected to high loads and shock loads. The product provides excellent stability even after prolonged working at high loads in presence of water.

BECHEM for Integrated Steel Plant

Conditions in steel manufacturing process pose tribological challenges due to extreme process temperatures, presence of corrosive cooling liquids, abrasive dust, shock-loads etc. Therefore the operational environment on a lubricant is very demanding and severe. The lubricant is primarily desired to provide a strong protective film with high degree of separation, be inert to entraining process fluids, resist tribo-corrosion and withstand high operating temperatures.

While operational breakdown costs are exponential, the lubrication technology to be employed requires careful consideration. BECHEM’s Berutox, Highlub and Beruplex range of specialty lubricants have been developed in order to surpass the demands in virtually all critical applications of an integrated steel plant.

BECHEM’s customised solutions complemented with unparalleled service help customers achieve higher productivity levels by mitigating machine downtime and extending equipment life.
