Mobilgrease XHP™ 222 helps paper company reduce grease usage and save US $30,000 annually*
Reduction in grease consumption
of 33%Situation
Paper Corea Company Ltd. manufactures newsprint and wrapping paper on three production lines. A third-party lithium mineral grease was used on the bearings of the first and third wet end roll. As the grease had a tendency to splatter, the paper rolls were getting contaminated, raising the cost of production. In an effort to address these issues, the company approached ExxonMobil engineers for an alternative grease solution.
Recommendation
After analyzing the situation, ExxonMobil engineers recommended the use of Mobilgrease XHP™ 222 lithium complex grease for its superior structural stability, excellent water resistance and high temperature performance.
Result
With the use of Mobilgrease XHP 222, the company has reduced grease consumption and eliminated paper roll contamination. Mobilgrease XHP 222 grease has also helped reduce bearing temperature from 150°C to 140°C. These benefits have helped increase plant productivity to generate an annual savings of US $30,000.
