CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., May 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Grease
lubrication in an integrated steel plant presents a constant
challenge given the harsh conditions placed on the process
equipment. Complex factors such as heavy loads, high speeds,
temperature fluctuations, and environments shifting from dusty to
humid and acidic, demand proper grease lubrication to protect
equipment and to ensure efficient operations. In addition, the
Steel industry continuously seeks ways to lower total costs and
increase performance.
