Efficient lubrication 'shell' drives the high-quality development of the steel industry

On October 15, 2019, Shell was invited to attend the 12th China Iron and Steel Annual Conference and delivered a speech entitled“Shell lubricants in the new era to reduce TCO new ideas”The wonderful speech of Shell shared with the guests the better-performing lubricants and professional and perfect technical services of Shell, and made positive suggestions for promoting the high-quality development of the industry. After more than 40 years of reform and opening up, although my country's iron and steel industry has made great progress and attracted worldwide attention, it still faces severe challenges such as energy conservation and environmental protection, technological innovation, and efficiency improvement. In this regard, Niu Junjie, Shell Lubricant Technology, said in his speech:“Shell has served China's steel industry for more than 30 years, and is committed to promoting steel enterprises to achieve quality, efficiency and green development through lubrication, helping enterprises to create new advantages in market competition and meet industry challenges.”At the scene, Niu Junjie introduced two main oil products of Shell for the steel industry: Wanli De S2 BA bearing oil and Tellus S2 MX hydraulic oil. The anti-wear and anti-corrosion properties of Marant S2 BA bearing oils help reduce bearing wear during rolling mill operation. At the same time, it also has faster water separation, and can ensure that the oil film is not destroyed in the environment of serious water pollution, providing stable protection and longer oil change intervals for the equipment. Oil products have been certified by many domestic and foreign OEMs including Primetals Technologies, Danieli, Ha Guangwang, etc. Tellus S2 MX hydraulic oil enjoys good high temperature performance and lubricating properties, which can provide good anti-wear protection for equipment, improve system efficiency, and prolong oil life. Outstanding performance in the test.​​“In order to promote the green development of steel enterprises, Shell has also launched a‘Tanker supply’and‘FIBC turnover box’The best de-packaging solution to solve the disadvantages of traditional barrel packaging in lubricating oil storage management, waste pollution of oil product transfer barrels, and compliant disposal of waste oil barrels.”. Niu Junjie said. Compared with the traditional barrel form, this solution can help customers effectively reduce the total cost of ownership of the lubrication link by 25%, which maximizes Shell's contribution to the TCO of the steel industry. In addition, the digital products launched by Shell China Digital Innovation Lab——Shell Zhihui is also a great tool to reduce the total cost of ownership of lubricants. According to Niu Junjie, in 2019, Shell upgraded Shell Zhihui's online functions and offline services, developed and launched a new intelligent equipment file management interface, and visualized TCO value. While shortening the common operation path and improving the user experience, it is also equipped with sensors to monitor the oil status online, and provide data analysis reports such as oil consumption analysis, failure shutdown, consumables statistics, etc., so that customers can perform predictive maintenance. Shell Zhihui also cooperated with Tencent Cloud to create a new intelligent lubrication IoT platform and Shell Zhihui applet. With this upgrade, Shell Zhihui has also developed differentiated services offline, providing iron and steel enterprises with full-process lubrication services including: equipment oil change, system flushing, oil filtration and dehydration, paint film tendency management solutions, etc. , Improve efficiency through correct and professional maintenance, and achieve cost reduction and efficiency increase.​​“Facing the coexistence of opportunities and challenges in China's steel industry, as the main force of lubrication services in the steel industry, Shell will continue to promote product and service innovation, and help Chinese steel enterprises to transform and upgrade in the new era.‘shell’Drive the high-quality development of the steel industry.”Niu Junjie said.
