Gear Oil
Customer
The company operates across multiple business sectors: Quarry, Asphalt Plant, and Construction. The Quarry division yields 70,000 metric tons of crushed rocks monthly, whereas the Asphalt Plant has a production output of approximately 800 tons daily. Within the Construction sector, the company engages in earth-moving and concrete works, servicing urban areas and highways.
Challenge
The main challenges faced by the 3 Sandvik crushers include exposure to dust contamination, elevated temperatures, and extremely high loads. These machines operate continuously for extended periods, which results in an increase in oil Total Acid Number (TAN), leading to oil oxidation and a subsequent rise in viscosity. Typically, the crushers are subjected to a standard workload of approximately 2,400 hours annually, with full company maintenance shutdowns scheduled for lubricant replacement.
PETRONAS Expert Solution
A 2,400-hour trial period was established in consultation with the customer, focusing on three Sandvik crusher models: CH 430, CH 440, and CS 430. The Technical Team from PETRONAS proposed the use of PETRONAS Gear MEP 220 in the gearboxes, in line with the manufacturer’s specifications. This field trial was conducted simultaneously on all three Sandvik crushers. PETRONAS also tracked the crushers’ performance and involved the customer in this monitoring process to confirm that the crushers were operating effectively and meeting the expected requirements.
Result
After 2,400 hours of operation, samples were collected from each crusher to track the performance of both the equipment and the lubricant. PETRONAS Gear MEP 220 successfully met all the customer's expectations, thereby bolstering their confidence in PETRONAS. Additionally, there was an enhancement in the crushers' efficiency and productivity, which experienced fewer shutdowns.

Customer
The company is one of India’s largest producers of manufactured sand with a significant presence in the districts of Salem and Erode in the state of Tamil Nadu. The company operates a fleet of excavators, predominantly composed of the Volvo EC 210 model.
Challenge
The challenges Indian quarries face include escalating production costs due to unreliable and underperforming lubricants and spare parts, which contribute to unforeseen downtime. The dusty and harsh conditions compel field maintenance staff to conduct early hydraulic fluid changes, resulting in reduced operation cycles and higher lubrication and maintenance expenses. There is a demand for a high-viscosity fluid with an improved Viscosity Index (VI) to extend operational cycles and provide the added benefit of fuel savings.
PETRONAS Expert Solution
PETRONAS recommended PETRONAS Hydraulic ESF 68, which meets all leading specifications and approvals. It is formulated with high shear stable PETRONAS ETRO Base Oil. PETRONAS Hydraulic ESF 68 also met the OEM's performance recommendation of a 5,000-hour oil life for extended drains and projected fuel saving of 6%-10%.
Result
The trial, conducted from May to August 2019, resulted in fuel savings of 1.36 liters per hour of operation in the summer and 1.94 liters per hour in the winter, with no maintenance-related downtime reported. The company conveyed confidence in the product and its reliability. Consequently, PETRONAS Hydraulic ESF was adopted for all new machinery, along with other products from the PETRONAS range.

PETRONAS Grease LiX MEP Increased Crusher Bearing's Life and Enabled Cost Savings at Mining Site

Europe
Product Category

Grease
Customer
The company operates an open pit mining in Europe which includes two limestone open mining pits and two closed crushing and screening plants. Its facility can produce up to 12,000 tons of aggregate per day.
Challenge
Due to its location, the mining site is one of the hottest in Europe. The weather and working conditions can cause the temperature of the crusher bearings to reach 65°C during operation. The company used to lubricate the bearings with a competitor brand of lithium grease. However, during regular maintenance, the maintenance team often found darkening on the surface of the bearings which meant they had to be replaced frequently.
PETRONAS Expert Solution
PETRONAS measured the bearing temperatures and recommended PETRONAS Grease LiX MEP as a solution to overcome the unavoidable working conditions and lower greasing intervals. Developed for heavy duty applications, this high-performance grease has added molybdenum and functional polymer-based Lithium Complex thickener, giving it excellent high temperature performance. This allowed the company to overcome excessive heat and reduce the frequency of greasing intervals.
Result
The switch to PETRONAS Grease LiX MEP provided the following advantages: (i) bearing temperature decreased by 13°C, thereby increasing bearing life; (ii) extended greasing intervals contributed to a saving of estimated 110 manhours (and associated labour costs) per year and (iii) annual savings of around €15,000 from reduced grease consumption.
