Huletts utilises Shell Tellus S 68 on presses
A
Shell Lubricants product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Jul 16, 2009
Huletts Aluminium has achieved an estimated USD27,000 (GBP16,400) in projected annual savings by working with Shell Lubricants to implement Shell Tellus S 68 across its hydraulic presses.
Shell Tellus S 68 is a premium hydraulic oil.
The company had previously been using hydraulic oils supplied by various lubricant companies at its plant in Epping, Cape Town, which were causing continuous overheating of its presses, due to the premature thermal breakdown of the lubricant and product oxidation.
To address these issues, the Shell Lubricants team recommended Shell Tellus S 68, a lubricant based on advanced 'zinc- and chlorine-free' technology, which ensures good performance in hydraulic fluid power transmission systems.
Since using the lubricant, Huletts Aluminium has experienced a number of operational benefits including a decrease in top-up volumes and press overheating.
