6,5% energy efficiency benefits at Smurfit Kappa with Mobil SHC 632
As part of Smurfit Kappa’s on-going commitment to improving the productivity and sustainability, the business recently undertook a field trial to monitor the performance of the new Mobil SHC 600 Series. ExxonMobil engineers visited Smurfit Kappa UK and ran Mobil SHC 632 against the mineral-based oil already used.
The introduction of the new Mobil SHC 600 Series achieved significant results compared to the previous lubricant. For example, the lower traction coefficient and superior viscometrics of the fluid enabled the customer to report an average energy efficient saving up to 6.5 percent. In addition, an operating temperature drop of 8,4 °C was also realized, which can help to prolong the life of both the oil and equipment.
“As the pulp and paper industry continues to face challenging market conditions with high competition and rising costs, Mobil SHC 600 Series lubricants are expertly formulated to help large scale industrial operators like Smurfit Kappa meet their application-specific goals and provide valuable sustainability-related benefits, such as enhanced energy efficiency, extended oil drain intervals and prolonged equipment life”, according Rainer Lange, Mobil SHC Brand Advisor.
