Case Study Cement Mine Gear Lube Filtration South Africa, 2016 www.OneEyeIndustries.com P: 1.403.212.1810 E: marketing@oneeyeindustries.com Problem: A cement mine consumed 6 drums/year of Molub-Alloy 8031-3000 open gear high viscosity oil base gel >78,000 cPs at a cost of $12,000 USD/year. Traditional filtration is unable to sufficiently filter this highly viscous oil gel at the necessary flow rate, also insufficient filtration results in a one time product life. The gel was disposed of as a waste grease which has a significant environmental footprint. Solution: One Eye Industries (OEI) filtration technology (24” OEI Magnetic Filter Scrubber) was applied in conjunction with the original traditional filtration to clean the oil when transferred from
