Sugar Mill Lubricants – Mill Roll Bearings, Gears & Co-generation Turbines
A sugar mill's crushing season allows no downtime. Mill roll bearings run under huge loads in cane juice, gear drives take shock loads, and co-generation turbines must run continuously. PCG Business Solutions supplies SERVO sugar-mill lubricants to mills in Mandya, Mysuru and the surrounding sugar belt.
Equipment and the SERVO lubricants for it
| Equipment / asset | SERVO lubricant (per IOCL literature) |
|---|---|
| Mill roll (journal) bearings | Servo SM 85 / 175 / 260; Servo SM 85 (NB) / 120 (NB) non-bituminous (IOCL) |
| Cane crushers & mill rolls (grease) | Servorex L0 / L1 / L2 (M) calcium-complex greases (IOCL) |
| Mill drive gearboxes | Servomesh SP 320 / 460 |
| Worm gears, calender-type bearings | Servocyl C 680 (compounded) |
| Co-generation steam turbines | Servoprime 32 / 46 (per turbine OEM) |
| Cane-haulage tractors | Servo Tractor Oil 20W-40 |
What goes wrong, and how to prevent it
IOCL designed Servo SM oils to keep lubricating heavily loaded mill roll bearings in the presence of cane juice. They also resist leakage and are used in slow-speed spur and helical gears through centralised systems. Plan pre-season stocking so the mill starts crushing with full buffers.
