Continuous Caster Unit
Specialty Lubricants for Steel Plant
BECHEM Berutox M21 KN has good pumpability and does not harden or solidify when being pumped through centralized systems that are exposed to extreme thermal radiations.
Operational environment in a Continuous Caster unit is characterized by slow to medium rotational speeds, high temperatures and corrosive process water ingress. Spearheading the technology of large molecular poly-urea products, BECHEM has developed Berutox M21 KN for this demanding application.
BECHEM Berutox M21 KN by virtue of good sealing property extends life of the bearings by protecting the working area from water and abrasive foreign particles. The combination of high surface affinity (inherent to the molecular structure of the thickener-matrix) with well-balanced additives and high base oil viscosity offers a lubricant designed for extended service life and high performance in a thermally stressed operating environment.

BECHEM for Integrated Steel Plant
Conditions in steel manufacturing process pose tribological challenges due to extreme process temperatures, presence of corrosive cooling liquids, abrasive dust, shock-loads etc. Therefore the operational environment on a lubricant is very demanding and severe. The lubricant is primarily desired to provide a strong protective film with high degree of separation, be inert to entraining process fluids, resist tribo-corrosion and withstand high operating temperatures.
While operational breakdown costs are exponential, the lubrication technology to be employed requires careful consideration. BECHEM’s Berutox, Highlub and Beruplex range of specialty lubricants have been developed in order to surpass the demands in virtually all critical applications of an integrated steel plant.
BECHEM’s customised solutions complemented with unparalleled service help customers achieve higher productivity levels by mitigating machine downtime and extending equipment life.
