Problem
The device transports 1,200°C hot slag from the steelworks to the slag pits. Despite a reduced oil change interval of 400 operating hours (a reduction from the manufacturers recommendation) there occurred about 250 error reports during the operating period due to the high soot content. 10 to 15 of those incidents were critical and led to total failure of the equipment. Men and machines were endangered.
Client testimonial
Already after the first fill up of PHI OIL Universus Gold 5W40, there were only 50 defect reports instead of the usual 250 and none of these faults led to a complete stoppage of the equipment. From the second operating interval with Universus Gold, there were no more than five uncritical defect reports. Since then we have had no complete failures of the equipment. With help from the competent support of PHI OIL, we have achieved a higher reliability of the device and therefore also fulfill safety aspects for our workers and the machines.
