Mobil Industrial Lubricants: Advancing productivity for the Manufacturing Sector in India

New Delhi, May 20 (KNN) Manufacturing has emerged as one of the high growth sectors in India with the potential to touch US$ 1 trillion by 2025. With the government’s ‘Make in India’ plan to locally manufacture as many as 181 products, there has been aboom in the infrastructural sectors such as oil and gas, especially in the industrial market. 

This trend poses challenges for themanufacturing sector as the growing demand for products require existing manufacturing units to perform more efficiently.

Over the years, equipment builders (EB) have focused on developing new, compact and efficient gearboxes.  Such improvements require lubricants that can perform in higher operating temperatures, at faster speeds and with heavier loads. Leading lubricant producers and suppliers, such as ExxonMobil, work closely with key EBs to ensure that their products are formulated to meet the rapidly evolving gear designs and operational requirements.

Lubricants are the lifeblood of a gearbox, helping reduce friction and provide long-lasting protection for the rotating, sliding and moving components in it.  To reduce associated costs resulting from gear-related downtime, we are seeing a shift in the manufacturing units. More of them are opting for high performance gear oils that increase productivity throughfewer unscheduled downtimes, extended oil drain intervals and less likelihood of component wear. 

Good examples of such high performance lubricants are the Mobilgear™  600 XP series and Spartan™  EP series.

The Mobilgear™ 600 XP series lubricants are known for quality and consistency, as well as the ability to handle a variety of tough gear applications. Formulated with high quality mineral oils, they help:

• Provide strong protection against corrosion of steel and copper containing alloys;
• Reduce sludge formation;
• Increase oil service life; and
• Resist foaming.

Providing extra protection for gears, bearings and seals, the Mobilgear™ 600 XP series exceeds the industry requirement for bearing wear protection. They can improve equipment reliability, increase productivity, and arerecommended by many leading EBs.In fact, Mobilgear™  600 XP Series provides up to 15 times the wear protection as measured by the industry standard FAG FE 8 test.

A core component of Mobil’s comprehensive strategy is referred to as ‘Advancing Productivity’. This strategy   defines how Mobil applies its lubricant technologies, engineering services and application expertise to help companies deliver tangible performance benefits in the areas ofSafety, Environmental care and Productivity. 

Ultimately, with enhanced productivity, comes higher output – thus driving greater value and increased business profitability.
