Mobil DTE 10 Excel™ 68 improves Energy Efficiency by 2.3% in Sumitomo Demag injection moulding machines*

Situation

A large plastics plant in Greece wanted the best lubrication solution for the facility’s 40 Sumitomo Demag injection moulding machines, to both improve productivity and also reduce the operating costs of the facility. Particularly as energy consumption in these machines is a significant expenditure.

Recommendation

ExxonMobil Field Engineer presented and recommended Mobil DTE™ 10 Excel 46 - the new generation of hydraulic oils, given its excellent hydraulic efficiency, clean performance with reduced system deposits and a good seal compatibility, with the potential to provide a long component life.

Benefits

Mobil DTE 10 Excel™ series lubricants improved energy efficiency. The plant’s technical team made an energy efficiency by testing 2 DEMAG El-Exis SP 250 injection machines, operating with the same parameters, and comparing it to the competitor’s product. The result? Mobil DTE 10 Excel™ 68 improved energy efficiency by 2.3% in the DEMAG El-Exis SP 250 injection machine. For a facility with 40 injection machines, this corresponds to potential annual savings of over € 17,000.
