CEMENT INDUSTRY
The cement industry is one of the core sectors in modern construction and infrastructure development. Cement is a key component of building materials, widely used in construction, bridges, roads, and other civil engineering projects.
In cement plants, from raw materials to the final stages, the main processes include the mining workshop, raw material workshop, clinker workshop, and finishing workshop. Each stage has its own objectives and therefore utilizes different equipment, such as rotary kilns, mills, roller presses, and more.
Common equipments:
Rotary Kiln (Open Gear), Ball Mill, Vertical Roller Mill, Roller Press, Crusher, Conveyor System, Preheater, Cooler, Dust Collector, Separator, Bucket Elevator, Homogenizing Silo, Clinker Silo, Cement Silo, Grinding Mill, Raw Mill, Coal Mill, Fan and Blower, Hydraulic System.
With Brugarolas’ high-performance greases, the lifespan of equipment is significantly optimized, minimizing breakdowns and machine downtime for maintenance purposes.
Only by selecting appropriate lubrication procedures, suitable lubricants, proper lubrication methods, and conducting regular on-site inspections based on the actual operating conditions of the equipment can the safe operation of gears be effectively ensured. This product series has been recognized and recommended by equipment manufacturers such as KHD Humboldt Wedag, Polysius, Metso Outotec, F.L. Smidth, CITIC HMC (CITIC Heavy Industries), and Northern Heavy Industries Group.

Open Gear (Kiln, Mill, Crusher)
Various factors can lead to poor meshing of open gears, causing issues such as surface abrasion, galling, pitting, and spalling, ultimately shortening the lifespan of the gears. In grinding systems, open gears may suffer from premature failure due to excessive impact loads, vibrations in the transmission system, and the harsh dust-filled environment.
Therefore, lubrication of open gears in cement plants requires special attention. Understanding proper lubrication should start from the gear installation process. BRUGAROLAS BESLUX CROWN, backed by decades of experience, has developed a comprehensive lubrication process for open gears.
During the normal lubrication phase, the selection of an appropriate adhesive lubricant (such as high-viscosity pure oil or fluid grease) should be based on factors like gear power, temperature variations, and environmental conditions. These lubricants must have suitable viscosity (adapted to equipment size, lubrication method, and temperature) and provide sufficient extreme pressure (EP) performance (e.g., four-ball welding load above 800 kg). Additionally, lubricants containing a proportion of solid additives are a better choice as they help meet extra load-bearing demands and offer emergency protection.
To ensure the safe operation of gears, it is essential to select the proper lubrication steps, appropriate lubricants, and correct lubrication methods while performing regular on-site inspections based on actual operating conditions. This product line has been recognized and recommended by numerous OEMs. Please contact your local distributor for more details.

Our Innovations
BESLUXLUBE SMART LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Cement equipment, typically situated in specialized locations such as high position or long distance, is large in scale and requires a substantial amount of lubricant to ensure smooth operation. Maintaining these machines can be particularly challenging due to their size and the harsh environmental conditions they are exposed to. With the BESLUX range of lubricants, you can ensure that the equipment is adequately lubricated. Furthermore, the BESLUXLUBE smart lubrication system plays a vital role in enhancing workplace safety, preventing oil shortages, and extending the lifespan of the equipment.
By using our latest model BESLUXLUBE, you can ensure sufficient lubrication at every lubrication point. Simply set it through the touch panel, with precise control of lubrication volume down to 0.5ml per point. It also detects potential blockages in bearings and supports mobile remote alerts for low oil levels (optional feature).
