Customer
Who they are:
The company, a pulp and paper manufacturer in China, produces approximately 300,000 tons of packaging paper each year. Post 2015, a surge in online shopping within China spurred a rapid growth in demand for packaging paper, prompting the company to invest in new production lines.
Challenge
What they needed:
The company built a new paper machine in 2019, aiming for a longer oil drain interval of about five years during continuous operation and well-trained staffs in lubrication management to enhance efficiency. Having already used PETRONAS Gear MEP 220 and PETRONAS Hydrocer 46 for two years and noting performance improvements, the company opted to employ PETRONAS Circula PM 220 in their new paper machine.
PETRONAS Expert Solution
What we did:
PETRONAS developed a cost saving calculation table which demonstrated how PETRONAS could assist the customer. Along with the Diagnostics (Oil Analysis) program, our team was able to demonstrate the benefits of oil analysis and advise the customer on the condition of their equipment. PETRONAS also provided Equipment Lubrication Training session for the staffs in lubrication management to enhance efficiency.
PETRONAS lubricants solution helped save roughly US$24,000 a year.
Result
The outcome:
Ever since the customer began using PETRONAS Circula PM 220, the noise pollution from the paper machines significantly decreased. After attending the Equipment Lubrication Training sessions, the staffs also improved the maintenance and lubrication of the paper machines. Most lubricants used by the company’s new paper machines are PETRONAS products.
