Successful mining with technology-driven lubrication solutions
India’s mining sector will play a driving role in the country’s ambitions of becoming an “aatmanirbhar” industrial destination. A number of factors including a rise in infrastructure development and automotive production are driving growth. Further, power and cement industries are also increasing demand in the sector. Now, especially, it is imperative that businesses in the sector aim for greater productivity to drive profitability while capitalising on growth opportunities. Simultaneously, the sector has to be mindful of maintaining efficiencies by reducing equipment wear and tear, and machine breakdown.

Mining fleets, in particular, require the use of superior lubrication solutions and appropriate servicing for optimal performance and results. As the sector prepares for rapid expansion, it is also necessary to pay special attention to the challenges that these vehicles encounter, and here, specialised lubricants can play a pivotal role in ensuring optimal performance.  

Technology-driven solutions
Mindful of the mining sector’s evolving need, Mobil™? has developed its Mobil Delvac Modern™? 15W-40 Super Fleet, a contemporary heavy-duty diesel engine oil intended to improve fleet performance. The Mobil Delvac Modern 15W-40 Super Fleet has emerged as a cutting-edge solution that transforms how mining fleet owners and operators maintain and improve the performance of their vehicles. It is a high-performance synthetic technology diesel engine oil that gives both on and off-highway diesel engines optimum lubrication. In comparison to API CI-4 PLUS requirements, the Mobil Delvac Modern 15W-40 Super Fleet provides up to 60 per cent* better wear protection, which helps save engine maintenance costs, and time and energy. It assures long working durations, provides improved protection, efficiency, and extended oil drain intervals, enabling mining fleet operators to get the most out of their vehicles. 

The engine oil’s capacity to retain high thermal and oxidative stability is outstanding given the tough conditions that mining vehicles work in. The lengthy oil drain and filter life caused by less sludge build-up and deposits is one of Mobil Delvac Modern 15W-40 Super Fleet's primary benefits. It is designed to efficiently counteract deposit development and sludge. In India's tropical climate, where severe temperatures can cause the fleet to break down, these problems can be especially difficult. This engine oil is a top pick for fleet managers seeking efficiency since it preserves engine cleanliness and improves overall performance by reducing sludge development.

The remarkable thermal and oxidative stability of this engine oil makes it ideal for mining equipment, which routinely operates in challenging environments. The formulation's exceptional wear prevention guarantees long component lives and lower maintenance costs, especially in high-stress situations, ensuring greater fleet lifetime and dependability. In addition, longer drain intervals result in lower maintenance costs and better operating effectiveness. Fleet owners can reduce other disruptions by being able to lengthen oil change intervals without affecting engine safety.

The Mobil Delvac Modern 15W-40 Super Fleet has earned the trust of numerous companies and manufacturers in India's mining industry. The company’s track record in maximising engine life and minimising maintenance expenses has cemented its position as a preferred partner for lubrication solutions and maintenance. 

For the mining sector, continuous success, opting for premium lubrication solutions can help businesses achieve more with less. Duly, making the most informed choices will be critical towards driving performance, productivity and long-term profitability.
