Application
Food industry
Whether refrigeration systems or homogenizers: the food industry relies on energy-intensive systems to satisfy its customers and meet strict specifications. The savings potential offered by efficient lubrication is often underestimated and can be far higher than one's own estimates. The following practical example shows this in figures:
A practical example: Refrigeration compressor with a cooling capacity of 350 kW
Conversion from a competitor's mineral oil to a product from Klüber Lubrication: Reduction of energy consumption by 25 kW or 7.19 %
Additional effects: 5 times longer oil change interval, reduction of the operating temperature by 7 degrees Celsius, amortization of the measure within 3 months
Chemical industry
Compared to other industries, the manufacture of chemical products is very energy-intensive. Reason enough for the chemical industry to exploit potential savings in every respect. Reliable specialty lubricants can reduce energy consumption by up to 6 percent.
A practical example: Two-stage centrifugal compressor with an oil capacity of 600 liters and 1.5 MW drive power
Changeover from a competitor's mineral oil to a Klüber Lubrication product: reduction of energy consumption by 15.79 kW or 1.2 %
Additional effect: amortization within 12 months
Cement industry
The cement industry is subject to enormous cost pressure. Ball mills, vertical roller cutters and roller presses have high energy consumption. Special lubricants in the gears can lead to energy savings of between 3 and 6 percent.
A practical example: Ball mill gearbox
Changeover from a competitor's mineral oil to a product from Klüber Lubrication: Monthly reduction in energy consumption by 272 MWh / 3.55 %
Additional effects: Annual savings of around €21,000 per ball mill, amortization of the measure within 3 months
