The global expert in specialty lubricants, Klüber Lubrication, showcases their state-of-the-art solutions at the India Steel Expo 2023 (April 19th to 21st, Mumbai Exhibition Centre). There is a particular emphasis on the solutions from Klüber Lubrication helping steel plants in reliable operations while measurably improving productivity through their complete range of lubricants and the strong drive to help customers pursue a sustainable future.
Ensuring reliable operations in the harshest of conditions
Steel plants face very high investment costs due to the size of their equipment and long production lines. The most essential criteria in achieving ROI include: reduction of operational and maintenance costs, and reliable operations without unplanned downtime. Each unplanned event can result in significant income losses. Additionally, every component of the steel production process is required to produce higher volumes of steel year-on-year while maintaining the quality level and satisfying stricter environmental regulations.
Most customers consider frequent lubrication with commodity lubricants to be the norm. However, with specialty lubricants from Klüber, customers can significantly increase relubrication intervals and make unscheduled breakdowns an occurrence of the past. With more than eight decades of experience, Klüber Lubrication has been pioneering innovative lubrication solutions for the entire value chain of the steel manufacturing process from raw material processing, steel making and rolling to milling and packing.
