Bridge crane | Steel mill | Italy
Situation Benefit
An Italian Steel mill has operated bridge cranes The company reports that switching to Mobil SHC 524 has helped increase
under extremely severe environmental conditions oil drain intervals of the bridge cranes safely from 4,000 to 32,000 hours
with temperatures up to 120°C. The hydraulic compared to the previous mineral oil.
systems on its cranes were originally lubricated with
hydraulic oil that degraded rapidly, forming deposits
and oil sludge which caused 2-3 unscheduled
production outages annually. The oil drain intervals
32 000
were around 4,000 hours.
Recommendation
To optimize oil drain intervals and decrease oil
deposit and sludge formation, ExxonMobil
´
recommended Mobil SHC™ 524, a synthetic
hydraulic oil with excellent high temperature
performance and oxidation resistance.
