Anyone who has witnessed industrial equipment coming to an unexplained stop mid-operation, or an industrial excavator halting in its tracks during crucial digging processes or a crusher malfunctioning in the middle of a construction project – you know exactly how costly such a moment is. Equipment downtime in industrial facilities isn't only costly, it may also mean lost opportunities, deadlines being missed, or even safety risks. Most of the time, the problem boils down to something incredibly simple yet highly costly, that is, poor lubrication.

Since 2020, Mechon International has been genuine heavy equipment spare parts suppliers in UAE. we have been supplying to our clients in the Gulf Cooperation Council, Africa, and many other regions. And in countless discussions we have held with our customers about their equipment management needs, one company name pops up again and again – Klüber Lubrication.

Kluber – The Unrivaled Lubricant

Industrial machinery is not always designed for ideal conditions. The rig operating in Sub-Saharan Africa has to cope with the extremes of heat, dust, and constant vibrations. The mining haul truck operating in Kazakhstan has to deal with very low temperatures and huge loads For coping with such harsh conditions necessary precautions must be taken.

These kinds of lubricants available on the market cannot sustain the operating conditions of such machines. They degrade under high thermal conditions, get displaced when exposed to huge loads, undergo rapid oxidation processes, and produce residues, which lead to increased rates of wear. This leads to the necessity for more frequent servicing of machinery and shorter machine life span. And this is where specialty lubricants come into play. Being an authentic Klüber lubrication distributors in UAE, we mainatain a diverse clientele who have been investing their time and trust into Kluber products.

What Makes kluber Different?

The company Klüber Lubrication was founded in 1929 and became a member of the Freudenberg Group. It has been developing lubricants designed for the use in conditions where any standard lubricant would cease to exist. The key point about this brand is not simply making a good lubricant, rather it is developing a solution that is made for a specific application and for the given stresses.

There are some features distinguishing this manufacturer from others:

1. High thermal stability at extreme pressures - Lubricants developed by Klüber retain their physical properties and create the protective film despite the temperatures. For instance, for gears, bearings, and slewing rings used for constant operation, it means increased durability and operability.

1. High-pressure (HP) applications - Many Klüber products were designed to resist the pressure that occurs in heavy-duty gear drives, press applications, and mining industries. Regular lubricants tend to drain under pressure, thereby posing a heavy risk to the functionality of the machines. Klüber HP additives form chemical bonds with metal surface regardless of pressure.

1. High operable temperature range - Be it open-cast mines in a cool weather or steel plants and casting houses in a hot and humid condition, Klüber has oils that remain functional and stable within a broad range of temperatures. Some of them between -60°C and even well beyond +200°C.

1. Tolerance for materials used - Lubrication oils in high-precision equipment can affect the stability of seals, plastics, and paints. The oils produced by Klüber have been designed to be tolerant to the materials they may interact with.

The Impactful Performance

The figures tell the story. Machinery using correctly specified specialty lubricants will see their bearings' life span increase by 30-50% from standard greases. Machines which had needed lubrication after every 2,000 hours can be run for 4,000+ hours with the proper Klüber specification. Corrosive damage, always a concern in coastal and damp locations, becomes less problematic.

When coming to the case of an excavator fleet operator, a small difference in mean time between failures multiplies. The number of unscheduled downtime, reduced use of replacement parts, minimized labor hours needed for maintenance, and extended machinery life before having to do major repairs adds up. Lubricants are frequently less than one percent of the overall operational costs yet have a disproportionately large impact on all other areas.

Specifications Really Matter

One of the things that we tell our customers all the time - not everything from Klüber will be suitable for every application. Klüber lubricants come in many different varieties, like greases, oils, pastes, anti-friction coatings, and various special fluids. This is because different machines have different demands, and using the wrong type of Klüber product won’t yield desired results. For example, if you use high-temperature bearing grease in a gearbox or EP gear oil in food-grade certified systems, you simply won’t achieve expected results.

It is here that procurement support comes into play. When customers request a quote on lubrication for a particular machinery, like Komatsu undercarriage, Sandvik drill rigs, Doosan engines, or Cat hydraulic systems, at Mechon International we won’t provide the closest Klüber product. Instead, we will advise on the proper Klüber specification based on your application.

Partnership Built On Genuine Products

Our guarantee is 100% authentic Klüber Lubrication products available through our trusted worldwide network. In an industry where counterfeited and inferior lubricants have become more common than most consumers would suspect, being authentic goes beyond merely ensuring quality, it's about ensuring safety. If a grease does not live up to its claims under heavy loads within bearings, it's not simply a waste of money. It's a catastrophe waiting to happen.

Invest in Good

This machinery represents investment worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars. Protection of such investment does not start from your next scheduled overhaul. It starts from what goes on inside your machines every hour they are operating. Klüber Lubricants are necessary for the operation of machinery, because Klüber Lubricants were designed specifically for such applications – keeping your precision machinery running smoothly in the toughest environment.

Should you want to order genuine Klüber lubricants for your operation or need assistance with Klüber specifications of the lubricant required for your machinery, we at Mechon International can help you.
