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.

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.

Towards Mega Batching

Optimised batching can drive overall efficiencies in large projects.

India’s pace of infrastructure development is pushing the construction sector to work at a significantly higher scale than previously. Tight deadlines necessitate eliminating concreting delays, especially in large and mega projects, which, in turn, imply installing the right batching plant and ensuring batching is efficient. CW explores these steps as well as the gaps in India’s batching plant market.

Choose well

Large-scale infrastructure and building projects typically involve concrete consumption exceeding 30,000-50,000 cum per annum or demand continuous, high-volume pours within compressed timelines, according to Rahul R Wadhai, DGM – Quality, Tata Projects.

Considering the daily need for concrete, “large-scale concreting involves pouring more than 1,000–2,000 cum per day while mega projects involve more than 3,000 cum per day,” says Satish R Vachhani, Advanced Concrete & Construction Consultant…

Andhra Offers Discom Licences To Private Firms Outside Power Sector

Policy allows firms over 300 MW to seek distribution licences

The Andhra Pradesh government will allow private firms that require more than 300 megawatt (MW) of power to apply for distribution licences, making the state the first to extend such licences beyond the power sector. The policy targets information technology, pharmaceuticals, steel and data centres and aims to reduce reliance on state utilities as demand rises for artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Approved applicants will be able to procure electricity directly from generators through power purchase agreements, a change officials said will create more competitive tariffs and reduce supply risk. Licence holders will use the Andhra Pradesh Transmission Company (APTRANSCO) network on payment of charges and will not need a separate distribution network initially.

Licences will be granted under the Electricity Act, 2003 framework, with the Central and State electricity regulators retaining authority over terms and approvals. The recent Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2025 sought to lower entry barriers, enable network sharing and encourage competition, while the state commission will set floor and ceiling tariffs where multiple discoms operate.

Industry players and original equipment manufacturers welcomed the policy, saying competitive supply is vital for large data centre investments. Major projects and partnerships such as those involving Adani and Google, Brookfield and Reliance, and Meta and Sify Technologies are expected to benefit as capacity expands in the state.

Analysts noted India’s data centre capacity is forecast to reach 10 gigawatts (GW) by 2030 and cited International Energy Agency estimates that global data centre electricity consumption could approach 945 terawatt hours by the same year. A one GW data centre needs an equivalent power allocation and one point five times the water, which authorities equated to 150 billion litres (150 bn litres).

Advisers warned that distribution licences will require close regulation and monitoring to prevent misuse and to ensure tariffs and supply obligations are met. Officials said the policy aims to balance investor requirements with regulatory oversight and could serve as a model for other states.
