Heavy-duty grease for highly loaded rolling bearings operating at low speeds

Klüberlub BE 41-1501 is designed to meet the requirements of rolling bearings subjected to extreme conditions. The appropriate combination of base oil and additives enables improved wear protection. FAG FE 8 tests have confirmed the effectiveness of Klüberlub BE 41- 1501 under these conditions and it is approved by various bearing manufacturers, e.g. FAG, to be used for applications in low-speed rolling bearings subjected to very high loads and shocks, for example in roller presses and bowl mill crushers.

Application areas
Klüberlub BE 41-1501 was developed for highly loaded large rolling bearings running at low speeds as well as toothed gear systems such as industrial and rail traction gear couplings. Typical applications and requirements include spherical roller bearings in roller presses, bowl mill crushers and rotary crushers in the mining and base materials industries. The operating conditions of roller bearings require use of a heavy-duty grease with high base oil viscosity with suitability for the following conditions:
• Low speed, n = 10-30 rpm
• High load, P/C = 0.25 – 0.50
• Bearing temperature approx. 50-70 °C
• Shock loading and vibration
Owing to its excellent lubricating properties, Klüberlub BE 41-1501 can also be used successfully for the lubrication of pivoting bearings, plain bearings and industrial gear couplings.

KLÜBERLUB BE 41-1501 – RELIABLE SOLUTION FOR HEAVY INDUSTRY LUBRICATION
Klüberlub BE 41-1501 is the perfect solution in heavy industries like cement and steel manufacturing. During high levels of oscillation and friction, If the lubricating film becomes adversely stressed under extreme conditions, the solid lubricants MoS2 and graphite contained in Klüberlub BE 41-1501 ensure excellent emergency lubricating properties providing additional reliability in the event of starved lubrication. The product also provides good corrosion protection and is compatible with seals, e.g. made of NBR elastomers.

WHY HEAVY INDUSTRIES CHOOSE KLÜBERLUB BE 41-1501
• Considering bearing operating temperature of 700°C, Klűberlub BE 41-1501 shows excellent film thickness
• Klűberlub BE 41-1501 has a good weld load
• Excellent additive performance.
• Klűberlub BE 41-1501 has a wide operating range
• Lower NLGI ‘1’ ensures that under load conditions, quantity of oil bleed by the thickener is more, ensuring optimum lubricating film

LEADING CEMENT PLANT DISCOVERS LONG-TERM LUBRICATION SOLUTION IN KLÜBERLUB BE 41-1501 – A CASE STUDY
At one of India’s leading large-scale cement manufacturing plants, their KHD roller press (size RP 16) had been in in operation since April 2004.
The grease used for lubricating the roller press bearings was that which was supplied by the machine manufacturer along with the machine. However, in 2006 the roller press tripped owing to high bearing temperature of the moving roller non-drive end bearing. Upon investigation following the dismantling of the machine, it was observed that the grease flow was well below desired levels, with just minimal traces of grease at some places. The bearing failure was attributed to a lack of proper lubrication.
This is when the team of experts from Klüber Lubrication stepped in to come up with a quick and enduring solution to solve the issue. After rigorous tests and trials, the team arrived at the conclusion that the solution lay in using a premium grade lubricating grease. Klüberlub BE 41-1501 has a base oil viscosity of 1500 cSt which is 1.5 times higher than the existing product. It is a NLGI Grade 1 grease which means that it has a higher oil content than NLGI grade 2 greases. The higher viscosity in combination with the NLGI 1 grade, makes for a better and more stable lubricant film, ensuring better protection for the bearing.
The results were expectedly positive. Upon switching to Klüberlub BE 41-1501, for lubricating the roller press bearings, the outcome was evident. Not only did the temperatures of the bearings reduce significantly (about 50°C), so did the sound and vibration levels.
Buoyed by the outcome, our client currently uses Klüberlub BE 41-1501 for all their operating roller presses.

Construction Costs Rise 11% in 2024, Driven by Labour Expenses

Cement Prices Decline 15%, But Labour Costs Surge by 25%

The cost of construction in India increased by 11% over the past year, primarily driven by a 25% rise in labour expenses, according to Colliers India. While prices of key materials like cement dropped by 15% and steel saw a marginal 1% decrease, the surge in labour costs stretched construction budgets across sectors.

“Labour, which constitutes over a quarter of construction costs, has seen significant inflation due to the demand for skilled workers and associated training and compliance costs,” said Badal Yagnik, CEO of Colliers India.

The residential segment experienced the sharpest cost escalation due to a growing focus on quality construction and demand for gated communities. Meanwhile, commercial and industrial real estate remained resilient, with 37 million square feet of office space and 22 million square feet of warehousing space completed in the first nine months of 2024.

“Despite rising costs, investments in automation and training are helping developers address manpower challenges and streamline project timelines,” said Vimal Nadar, senior director at Colliers India.

With labour costs continuing to influence overall construction expenses, developers are exploring strategies to optimize operations and mitigate rising costs.

Swiss Steel to Cut 800 Jobs

Job cuts due to weak demand

Swiss Steel has announced plans to cut 800 jobs as part of a restructuring effort, triggered by weak demand in the global steel market. The company, a major player in the European steel industry, cited an ongoing slowdown in demand as the primary reason behind the workforce reduction. These job cuts are expected to impact various departments across its operations, including production and administrative functions.

The steel industry has been facing significant challenges due to reduced demand from key sectors such as construction and automotive manufacturing. Additionally, the broader economic slowdown in Europe, coupled with rising energy costs, has further strained the profitability of steel producers like Swiss Steel. In response to these conditions, the company has decided to streamline its operations to ensure long-term sustainability.

Swiss Steel’s decision to cut jobs is part of a broader trend in the steel industry, where companies are adjusting to volatile market conditions. The move is aimed at reducing operational costs and improving efficiency, but it highlights the continuing pressures faced by the manufacturing sector amid uncertain global economic conditions.

The layoffs are expected to occur across Swiss Steel’s production facilities and corporate offices, as the company focuses on consolidating its workforce. Despite these cuts, Swiss Steel plans to continue its efforts to innovate and adapt to market demands, with an emphasis on high-value, specialty steel products.
