VISIT LE SOUTH AFRICA HALL 8 STAND B13.

Lubrication innovation on display at Electra Mining 2024

Lubrication Engineers (LE) South Africa, will bring the latest in lubrication innovation and technology to Electra Mining at NASREC from 2 to 6 September, including Bluetooth-enabled single-point lubricator systems and improved product formulations for various mining and industrial applications. C olin Ford, MD at LE South Africa, says the company will have representatives from LE in the USA (where the company is headquartered) and Australia (where its Viper Wire Rope Lubricator products are manufactured) on hand to answer questions, as well as showcase various product demonstrations, both live and through video content.

“We’re excited to show people the advances in our product range – particularly for the mining and cement industries,” he says. “We’ve got a good mix of new products and improvements to existing products or more in-depth technical detail that’s now available for some of them.” One of the new products on offer is Easy Bar®, a lubrication solution in a solid bar format for the inside tyre bore of rotary kilns and dryers. “It’s ideal for smelters,” says Ford. “It’s like a bar of soap that you throw into a section of the kiln or onto the sinter plates and it melts and lubricates them.” Ford expects that the Bluetooth single-point lubricators will also attract interest as they have the potential to improve occupational health and safety on mining and other sites. “Essentially, the operators do not have to shut down the equipment and manually apply the lubricant. They can stand outside the cage and manage the application from their phone,” he says. “This is much safer and means less downtime and better productivity.” LE will also have its Asset Reliability Solutions (ARS) on display, encompassing the full lubrication storage and management cycle. A large portion of the stand will be dedicated to wire rope lubrication, where visitors can find out more about the Viper range, as well as LE’s Wirelife product. The LE stand will be at Hall 8 Stand B13, and Ford encourages visitors to come along, meet the LE team and experience the company’s leading lubrication solutions for themselves. 

LE provides high performance, heavy-duty, quality lubricants for virtually every industry and application, as well as expert technical back-up and support.
