Client Success Story
Challenge: A leading cement manufacturer was required to replace a kiln girth gear and pinion due to significant gear teeth wear and damage. However, stoppage was not an option due to an ongoing cement supply project in addition to the long lead time to receive the replacement gears.
Solution: Droplex implemented a comprehensive lubrication service program to extend the life of the gears, including:
- Lubrication system upgrade from bath lubrication to a controlled spray lubrication system
- Lubricant change from standard lubricant to high-performance, high-viscosity open gear lubricant
- Staff training on continuous critical system checks
- Implementation of contamination control procedures
- Bi-annual system service visits by specialized technicians
