Mobil SHC Grease 462 PF helped to extend bearing life time and regreasing intervals
New Manta | Mobil SHC Grease 462 PF | Opwijk, Belgium
Situation
Company New Manta NV produces different types of mops for household use. In the calendar bearings of the production lines, the temperature can rise up to 220°C. This requires specific grease that can withstand such high temperatures. The grease that was being used, started to clump into the bearings after a while and eventually began to petrify. In order to prevent this, they had to regrease daily. Extending the regreasing intervals would mean a huge improvement for New Manta NV.
Recommendation
Ingelbeen-Soete recommended switching to Mobil SHC Grease 462 PF and gradually increasing regreasing intervals, supported by a thorough follow up by our lubrication engineer. Mobil SHC Grease 462 PF is a high temperature grease with very low volatility and is very resistant to degradation at temperatures up to 240°C and more. In addition, the stability at high temperatures ensures improved reliability and a reduction in grease consumption and labor costs through extended regreasing intervals.
Results and benefits
Since New Manta NV started using Mobil SHC Grease 462 PF, no calendar bearing problems have occurred anymore and they managed to extend regreasing intervals to 3 weeks. On yearly basis, this leads to following savings:
