FUCHS Offers 360° Mining Lubricant Solutions for Greener and Smarter Mines
On October 26th, Germany lubricant brand FUCHS exhibited its 360° mining lubricant solutions at the (19th) China Coal & Mining Expo 2021 —— an important industry event held as scheduled at Beijing New China International Exhibition Center.
The mining department of FUCHS serves the global mining industry and offers lubricants and assay analysis for more than 450 mining equipment and open-pit mining equipment providers around the world. In particular, FUCHS SOLCENIC series (lubricants for roof supports) has been certified and recommended by multiple mining equipment manufacturers, accounting for more than 70 % of the worldwide market. Indeed, FUCHS is a well-trusted lubricant solution provider for the entire mining industry.
FUCHS is one of the world’s largest independent lubricant suppliers, offering more than 10,000 products applied in automotive and broad sectors of industries. We’re very proud of our 360° lubricant solutions for the mining industry.
The mining industry posts stringent requirements for mining engine lubrication due to the heavy work load of heavy-duty engines operating all the year round. As the leader and pioneer of engine oil, FUCHS continues to improve its technology to ensure smooth operation of mining engines, effective protection of engine components, and ultimately, a much longer usable life. For example, FUCHS TITAN high performance engine oil reduces fuel and oil consumption, extends oil replacement cycles and cuts down costs for the mining industry.
Thanks to long-term cooperation between FUCHS and world leading automotive manufacturers to develop tailor-made products for high-tech automatic transmission of different manufactures, FUCHS TITAN ATF transmission oil offers high-performance, heavy-duty, energy saving and anti-wear lubricating solutions for the mining industry.
The mining industry runs on properly functioning power train and closed gearbox systems, which are subject to high load and rapid intermittent impact, constant operation and frequent process change. Applied in state-of-the-art gear boxes and transmissions, tailor-developed FUCHS gearbox oil complies with the highest standards and specifications to ensure low wear and friction losses. This is the result of co-development between FUCHS and the world’s top gear box manufacturers. FUCHS synthetic gear oil with special additive technology and selected base oil has excellent low temperature performance, supports easy shifting, and offers minimum wear, longest service life, high compression resistance, reliability and best-in-kind corrosion protection.
Due to all-year-round high-load, or even full-load operation of the hydraulic system and the harsh operating environment, FUCHS believes that standard hydraulic oil is not reliable enough to support the operation of mining equipment under certain circumstances. FUCHS, therefore, launches a full range of hydraulic oil to meet specific operating requirements of mining customers. Special hydraulic oil ranges from high-performance mineral oil to special synthetic hydraulic oil, and with the professional advice from the FUCHS technical team, can meet the requirements of low fuel consumption and emission reduction, while ensuring high efficiency, long service life and less maintenance load.
The mining industry, following the trends of automation, informatization and digitalization, will become smarter step by step. With the ultimate industry goal of building smart mines in mind, FUCHS has introduced a unique predictive oil monitoring system CENT —— a tailor-made digital tool for mining customers. CENT offers the following benefits:
Diagnosis of equipment wear and pollution problems
Longer service life of lubricant products
Less equipment downtime
Lower equipment maintenance costs
