Cement plant profitability is directly related to equipment reliability. One of the main requirements for reliable operation is frequent greasing to prevent the entry of contaminants inside bearings. Since many of the lubrication points in cement plants are dangerous and hard to access, they are not lubricated as often as required.

This causes accelerated wear of mechanical components and often leads to premature bearing failure. Extreme operating conditions such as high temperature, vibrations, shock loads, high loads, and contaminants such as dust, dirt and water demand frequent and reliable lubrication in order to prevent costly downtime.
