A game changer for 100% longer oil-drain intervals
The Customer:
Pilsa Plastic Products Inc.
The Challenge:
Pilsa Plastic Products Inc., a leading plastic manufacturer in Turkey, was facing issues with their compressor lubricant. The oil analysis showed that the lubricant didn't have the required thermal and oxidation stability. As a result, the company had to change the oil every 5,000 hours, which increased maintenance costs and reduced operational efficiency.
The Solution:
After closely monitoring and analyzing the performance of the existing oil through the Shell LubeAnalyst Oil Condition Monitoring (OCM) program, the Shell technical team identified an opportunity for improvement. They recommended switching to Shell Corena S4 R 68, a high-performance lubricant designed to enhance efficiency and reduce maintenance. Additionally, the team provided comprehensive training on proper handling and application, ensuring a smooth transition and optimized performance moving forward.
Using Shell Corena S4 R 68 led to a 50% reduction in operational costs and doubled the oil-drain intervals from 5,000 to 10,000 hours. This, combined with lower oil consumption, reduced labor costs, and less oil waste, resulted in annual savings of $12,185.1
