As a core industry, the mining sector plays a significant role ininfluencing the economic growth of our resource-rich country. Since the aatmanirbharta drive, especially, the mining sector has received added focus and itscontribution to GDP has increased to Rs 990.20 billion in the first quarter of 2022 from Rs 800.95 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021. The mining industry is the supplier of raw materials to several important industries like iron and steel, oil and gas, petroleum, among others. No doubt, the growth of the industry has a positive ripple effect on dependent sectors and can significantly influence overall economic growth.

The mining sector is today gearing to play a driving role in India鈥檚 vision of becoming a $5 trillion economy. As demand in the sector increases, mining businesses are in need of high-caliber industrial lubricants that ensure smooth and efficient functioning, while also guaranteeing profitability with energy efficiency for their machinery and equipment.

Towards smooth mining operations

Superior quality industrial lubricants can play a defining role in ensuring efficient operations in the mining industry. Mining operations are conducted in rough conditions, making machinery and equipment moreprone to breakdowns and other mechanical wear and tear that may hamper operational processes. Industrial lubricants play a pivotal role in combating such mishaps and ensuring smooth operations even in severe working conditions involving heavy loads and extreme temperatures to rust and water contamination.

To cater to the rapidly evolving needs of the mining sector, MobilTM lubricants has been at the forefront of research, development and production of industrial lubricants that can aid the sector鈥檚 growth. Heavy-duty mining operations have diverse lubrication needs 鈥� from premium diesel engine oils to greases to service support. At Mobil, an array of superior choices can be found. For instance, the Mobil DelvacTM range, with over 90 years of experience and innovation, is a recognised advanced heavy-duty engine oil. It provides proven protection to diesel engines operating in severe on and off-highway service applications. Under this series, the Mobil Delvac MXTM ESP 15W-40 has been formulated with a mixed detergent system that delivers cutting-edge performance in both new and older engines, while also ensuring excellent control of oil thickening. Further, with exceptional resistance to oil consumption, oxidation, corrosive and abrasive wear, and high-temperature deposits, the Mobil Delvac 1TM ESP 5W-40 is an advanced synthetic heavy-duty diesel engine oil that helps extend engine life while providing long drain capability and potential fuel economy for modern and latest diesel engine technology operating in severe applications.

Along with the engine oils, Mobil鈥檚 greases too are revolutionising operations by improving regreasing intervals, enhancing equipment life and providing exceptional protection even in extreme conditions. The Mobilgrease XHPTM 460 Series greases are extended service lithium complex greases designed to outperform conventional products by applying high-performance proprietary lithium complex manufacturing technology. A key factor in the excellent adhesion and cohesion properties and mechanical stability of the thickener of these greases is the proprietary manufacturing technology developed at state-of-the-artresearch facilities.Under this series, the Mobilgrease XHP鈩� 462 Moly is fortified with 3 per cent molybdenum disulfide and is particularly recommended for applications such as bucket pins and fifth wheels, where molybdenum disulphide provides an extra level of protection, and where sliding friction and oscillating motion can lead to rupturing of the oil film, resulting in metal-to-metal contact.

Smart servicing to aid operations

Mobil believes in 鈥渨orking side by side鈥� with its clients through its expert Mobil ServSM Lubricant Analysis (MSLA). MSLA includes technical services that provide insights to give businesses an operational advantage. The extensive range of expert technical services under MSLA are designed to help operators optimise their equipment maintenance programs and machine availability, so they can achieve their goals in safety, environmental care and productivity. Additionally, MSLA is designed to help save time and money, while boosting equipment reliability and productivity. It can save as much as 66 per cent of the client鈥檚 sampling time while providing the lubricant oil analysis they need to keep the equipment productive and minimise costly repairs.

The mining sector in India plays to geographical advantages in sub-soils being rich in onshore and offshore crude oil and gas, coal, iron ore, copper, bauxite, etc. Duly, mining industries have set up high-cost operational mines that are home to an elaborate set of equipment. Now, to keep the equipment running in a smooth and efficient manner, these industries rely on premium quality lubricants and greases. For leaders like Mobil, the sector and its unique challenges provide a bright opportunity to drive innovation and technical excellence and help businesses augment their productivity and profitability.
