1. Heavy-duty diesel engines

Extract Value from Your Engine Oil

Soot accumulation is a daily hazard on mine sites, leading to oil thickening and abrasive wear. Extended idling only increases the risks, so high-quality synthetic engine oils with the right base oil and additive technology help to maintain performance.

2. Hydraulic systems

Don’t Let Conditions Limit Your Hydraulics

The power and efficiency of your hydraulic system can be affected by the extreme temperatures present in mining operations. The right oil with a high viscosity index will reduce your system’s operating temperature and enable optimum hydraulic power.

3. Open Gears

Gear Up for Greater Contamination Control

Temperatures, pressures, shock. Open gears are at the mercy of their environment, with contamination posing a significant challenge. Oil must be equipped with the suitable viscosity, pumpability and durability to operate effectively under the most extreme conditions.

4. Industrial gearboxes

Grow Your Business with Synthetic Oils

While efficiency has always been king for mine sites, sustainability is a growing consideration. Ineffective gearboxes can contribute to excessive electricity consumption and waste disposal. High-performing synthetic oils can last twice as long, extending your oil-drain intervals and unlocking efficiencies.
