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.

BMC Cement Concretisation Cuts Pothole Repairs By 70 Per Cent

Project worth Rs 170 billion (Rs 170 bn) aims to concretise 1,900 km by 2027

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s cement concretisation project, valued at Rs 170 billion (Rs 170 bn), has reduced expenditure on pothole repairs by 70 per cent over three years. Spending on repairs fell from Rs 2.02 billion in 2023–24 to Rs 1.56 billion in 2024–25 and then to Rs 890 million (Rs 890 mn) in 2025–26. The current tender is expected to be about Rs 440 million, representing a further 50 per cent reduction.

The project is being executed in two phases, with Phase I covering 307 km from October 2023 and Phase II covering 370 km from October 2024. The Indian Institute of Technology is auditing Phase II and will now also audit Phase I to ensure quality and accountability. Mumbai’s total road network spans approximately 2,050 km, of which about 1,200 km had been converted to cement concrete before 2022.

Since 2022 an additional 677 km were taken up for concretisation and nearly 71 per cent of that work, amounting to 481 km, has been completed. Municipal officials indicated that 10–15 per cent of the remaining work is expected to be completed by May 2026 and another 10 per cent by December 2026. The entire programme is scheduled for completion by May 2027, by which time nearly 1,900 km of Mumbai’s roads are expected to be fully concretised.

The administration has also developed a real time dashboard that displays detailed information about contracts, contractors and progress and citizens can access the latest updates online. The dashboard includes contact details for the civic officials and contractors responsible for particular roads to enhance transparency and accountability. The commissioner directed that ongoing works be completed by 31 May ahead of the monsoon to safeguard completion targets and minimise disruption.

Shree Cement has approved the establishment of an integrated cement plant in Meghalaya, signalling a targeted capacity expansion to serve regional demand. The board cleared a unit at Village Daistong in East Jaintia Hills District with a clinker capacity of zero point nine five million tonnes per annum (mn t) and a cement capacity of zero point nine nine million tonnes per annum (mn t). The project was approved on April four, 2026 and is designed as a new addition to the company’s production network where it currently has no existing plant.

The company has earmarked an estimated investment of Rs 1,800 crore (Rs 18 billion (bn)) for the project, which will be financed through a mix of internal accruals and debt. Management has indicated a balanced financing strategy to preserve cash flows while supporting long-term growth and operational investment. The financing approach is intended to avoid over reliance on external borrowing and to maintain financial discipline during the build out.

The plant is expected to improve logistics efficiency and compress distribution distances to emerging demand centres in the north-east, potentially lowering transportation costs and lead times. By locating production closer to demand the company aims to strengthen market access and respond more effectively to regional construction activity. The project forms part of a broader strategy to diversify the production base across geographies and reduce concentration risk.

Execution is planned over a multi-year window with completion targeted by the quarter ending March 2028 and the company will proceed with construction and requisite regulatory clearances. The integrated design is intended to enhance operational control and production efficiency once operational. The decision follows a regulatory filing dated April four, 2026 and the disclosed details have not been independently verified.
