At DALOG, we commit to providing the best online condition monitoring, and to this end, we are always interested in partnering with companies that share our values. One such company is Klüber Lubrication, a producer of high-performance lubricants. 

If you want to learn more about our services, we are eager to announce that DALOG and Klüber will be neighbors at the upcoming IEEE-IAS/PCA Cement Conference, which will be held at the Dallas-Hilton Anatole in Texas, between April 23-27.

But, before meeting in person, let us tell you more about our partnership and what it means for cement companies.

The DALOG-Klüber Partnership

As technology advances, modern production companies have access to instruments and solutions that help them work more efficiently, reducing downtime and making sure that equipment stays viable for a longer period of time.

In the world of heavy industry, girth gears are critical components that are relied upon to maintain efficient and safe operation. Cement plants have to face a lot of challenges when it comes to girth gears, such as exposure to enormous stress, lubricant system failures causing severe damage, challenging inspections, and high prices for new girth gears. Given the critical importance of girth gears, it's essential to ensure their reliability and longevity. 

By working together with Klüber Lubrication, a leading provider of high-performance lubricants and services, we can offer preventive, predictive, and prescriptive solutions, including a multisensorial condition monitoring system, a web-dashboard to see up-to-date condition and remote support, provided by both DALOG and Klüber specialists. 

After switching to Klübersynth C-F Ultra Series transparent lubricant, we were able to reduce lubricant consumption by 30-50% and obtain a 10-20% lower cost. By using transparent lubricant, not only did we reduce costs, but we also managed to make visual inspection easier and at the same time offer higher wear protection, eliminating the clogging of spray system.

Together with Klüber solutions, we are able to bring several advantages to cement plants that request our help: continuous, automated, real-time monitoring of most parameters from manual inspections, a new level of preventive maintenance, higher gear protection, longer gear lifetime and reduction of lubricant consumption by up to 40-50%, less risk of forgetting inspections or performing them incorrectly, immediate detection of vibrations, overloads, lubricant starvation and spray system failures triggering alarms, increased reliability and less work for maintenance. 

We are excited to help as many companies as possible, so if you are interested in learning more about our solutions, we look forward to meeting you at the IEEE-IAS/PCA Cement Conference! You can find us at booths 314-316 and 312-310.
