In a world of fierce competition within the metal manufacturing industry, the pragmatic means to decrease operating costs and improve productivity is to be considered.
GG Friction Antitodote is at your side to help you get the best from your machinery and to bring you both the reliability and the competitiveness you are looking for in the metal manufacturing industry – we offer you savings through the optimization of your lubricating conditions and the use of world-class lubricants in combination with GG Friction Antidote.
The process of metal production is hard on lubricants, with extreme temperatures, extreme loads, corrosion, water, abrasive particulates, caustic substances, steam and acids all combining to create a tough environment. By recommending the right, high-performance lubricant for the application, as well as showing your customers how to protect their lubricant from the tough conditions, particularly moisture and contaminants you will help your customers keep their capital-intensive assets running harder and longer, eliminating costly downtime and repairs. The right lubricants and lubricant reliability tools – combined with training for personnel and implementation of best practice processes reduces overall costs. Spend a little more up front, and the savings on the backside of the operation will more than pay for the improvements.
Common challenges and opportunities for improvement
Steel plants face very high investment costs. The investments pay off if production runs without interruptions, with every standstill having a direct impact on revenue. Machine elements are expected to run reliably for a long time. Additionally the steel industry is subject to a particularly high number of safety and environmental regulations and the public expects you to reduce your energy consumption and emissions.
Gearboxes, speed increasers and pump bearings
Gearboxes and oil reservoirs are commonly subject to high temperatures, heavy loads and shock loads, as well as contaminants from the working environment. All of this results in expensive premature gear wear and failure. Oils with powerful anti-foaming packages provide outstanding water separation properties that allow any water contamination to be drained away as needed. This prevents rust and corrosion in the gearbox and dramatically extends the life of the oil and the gearbox. Grease needs to seal effectively to prevent contaminants from entering equipment. It also must survive extremes in pressure, load and temperature. Industrial greases that are extremely tacky and nearly impervious to water seal out the contaminants and handle the extreme conditions.
Oil analysis program
A routine oil analysis program is the foundation for any steel and metal manufacturing lubricant reliability program. With consistent, accurate monitoring of the condition of your oil – whether in an gearbox or circulating system – you can improve your bottom line with less lubricant to purchase, fewer parts to keep in inventory, less used lubricant requiring disposal, less labor and less downtime.
High-performance metal industry additive, reliable production:
- Reduced production costs for higher profits.
- Extended operating life for your tools.
- Improved machining quality while contributing to increased plant availability.
- Respect for the health of your operators and for the environment.
Unearth the benefits of GG Friction Antidote – An investment that pays off and your benefits at a glance:
Innovative tribological solutions are our passion. We’re proud to offer unmatched friction reduction for a better environment and a quick return on your investment. Through personal contact and consultation, we offer reliable service, support and help our clients to be successful in all industries and markets.
Profitability:
Switching over to a high-performance lubricant pays off although purchasing costs may seem higher at first, less maintenance and longer vehicles/machinery parts lifecycle may already mean less strain on your budget in the short to medium term.
Continuous production processes and predictable maintenance intervals reduce production losses to a minimum. Consistently high lubricant quality ensures continuous, maintenance-free long-term lubrication for high plant availability. Continuous supply of fresh GG Friction Antidote treated lubricant to the lubrication points keeps friction low and reduces energy costs.
Safety:
Longer lubrication intervals reduce the frequency of maintenance work and the need for your staff to work in danger zones. Lubrication systems can therefore considerably reduce occupational safety risks in work areas that are difficult to access.
Reliability:
GG Friction Antidote treated lubricants ensure reliable, clean and precise lubrication around the clock. Plant availability is ensured by continuous friction reduction of the application. Lubrication with GG Friction Antidote treated lubricants help to prevent significant rolling bearing failures.
Need a good ROI? How about 3,900%?
It may sound too outrageous to be true, but the Institute of Mechanical Engineers estimates every $1,000 spent on proper lubrication yields $40,000 in savings.
