SUSTAINABLE LUBRICATION CONCEPTS FOR THE PAPER INDUSTRY

The paper industry must be able to rely on smoothly running papermaking machines, regardless whether it’s for newspaper, tissue paper or corrugated board. Extreme conditions are the norm: over 2000 m/min, high temperatures and tremendous strain from dirt, water and chemical reactions characterise the environment around paper machines. Resource efficiency also plays a central role, especially with regards to the high energy requirements in paper manufacturing. With our decades of expertise in lubricants and our comprehensive service programme, we can uncover potential savings and optimise your production processes.

Proper selection and monitoring of lubricants can extend oil life, improve system cleanliness, and reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions. This reduces your material, energy and disposal costs as well as your maintenance and repair costs. As a result, plant productivity and occupational safety increase thanks to fewer interventions. Our sustainable lubrication concepts also help to achieve company energy management goals, e.g. certification according to DIN EN ISO 50001.

Our comprehensive product portfolio includes high-performance Mobil™ lubricants and greases. They are characterised by extremely long tool life, excellent component protection and increased availability and service life of your machines. The high-performance oils Mobil SHC™ PM, Mobilith SHC™ PM, Mobil DTE™ PM Series and Mobil Paper Machine Oil S were specially developed for the pulp and paper industries. Optimised in terms of energy efficiency, they can significantly reduce your energy requirements and rising energy costs by increasing efficiency and lowering the oil temperature. This allows us to achieve demonstrable savings of up to 6%, making sustainable increases in productivity possible. It goes without saying that Mobil™ oils and greases meet the specifications of the leading machine and plant manufacturers.

Our extensive range of services for the paper industry extends from oil analysis and questions of energy efficiency, right through to minimising the variety of products needed. These are only some of our many Fluid Management services.
