Wire Rod Mills

Specialty Lubricants for Steel Plant

BECHEM’s range of greases for work roll bearings are formulated with high quality base oils with higher viscosities to withstand high loads even at elevated temperatures.

Work roll bearings in roughing and intermediate stands in Wire Rod Mills typically operate in high load, high water ingress and temperatures zones. A recent study of bearings in wire rod mills indicated ‘selection of improper lubricant’ as one of the primary reasons for failures. Operating conditions demand for greases with higher base oil viscosity and stable viscosity index to ensure a thick, high strength film between the contact surfaces. Additionally, the grease should be able to withstand water, scale and dust contamination that could impact lubricating performance.

BECHEM’s range of greases for work roll bearings are formulated with high quality base oils with higher viscosities to withstand high loads even at elevated temperatures. These water resistant greases provide effective lubrication to friction partners of the bearing during boundary and mixed lubrication regimes. Selection of the right grease is critical in avoiding premature bearing failures and avoiding downtime

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.
