The Company

This steel manufacturer, part of a regional steel group, operates from Kashipur, Uttarakhand. Its Wire Rod Mill runs on high-viscosity lubricating oil whose cleanliness is essential to consistent, reliable production.

The Challenge

High-viscosity lubricating fluids are notoriously hard to keep clean their thickness makes contaminants difficult to filter out efficiently. In a continuously running wire rod mill, letting the oil’s NAS cleanliness value drift means accelerated wear and the constant threat of downtime.

The company needed a filtration solution that could handle demanding, high-viscosity oil and reliably bring its NAS value down without becoming a maintenance burden in its own right.

The Solution

The right machine for demanding oil

The company installed the Klarol LVDH Oil Filtration Machine in its Wire Rod Mill specifically to reduce the NAS value of its oils. The machine took on the difficult task of cleaning high-viscosity lubricating fluid and exceeded expectations.

Its efficiency, reliability and ease of operation made a significant, positive impact on the mill’s maintenance operations.

Professional support, start to finish

The Results

The Klarol machine exceeded expectations in cleaning high-viscosity lubricating fluid, with outstanding performance. Its efficiency, reliability and ease of operation made a significant impact on maintenance operations while the Klarol team’s support ensured minimal downtime and optimal performance.

The company is confident the Klarol LVDH will be a valuable asset to any steel plant or industrial facility and highly recommends Klarol to any organisation seeking reliable and efficient filtration solutions.

“The Klarol Machine has exceeded our expectations in cleaning high-viscosity lubricating fluid, and its performance has been outstanding. Their support and after-sales service have been exemplary.”
