Trollope Mine Realised Improved Efficiency Thanks To Shell Spirax CX 30
The Shell Technical team embarked on a value improvement project and analysis with Trollope Mine, a key player in the mining industry in Botswana looking to optimize their operations. They were able to achieve substantial annual savings of USD 76 985.01 per annum by switching from the ISO 68 hydraulic fluid to Shell Spirax S4 CX 30 which is SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) approved.
Benefits of Using Shell Spirax S4 CX 30
Subsequently, Trollope Mine experienced a remarkable reduction in part replacement, reduced oil change frequency and increased production due to increased uptime. Furthermore, by improving fuel cleanliness and reducing fuel filters & fuel injector replacements,
Initially, they relied on ISO 68 Hydraulic Fluid for their operations but performed below optimum due to high temperatures. This led to frequent part replacements due to insufficient lubrication and frequent hydraulic fluid oil changes, consequently leading to loss of production time.
Compared to their previous choice, Shell Spirax S4 CX 30 boasts a wider temperature range, a crucial advantage for mines situated in a region known for its peak temperatures, often exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. The switch allowed prolonged functionality and assured sufficient lubrication through the Spirax S4 CX 30 enabling operations to thrive even at higher temperature extremes.
