BMG’s Liqui Moly additives, oils and lubricants enhance efficiency in many industries

BMG supplies and supports a wide range of Liqui Moly additives, oils and lubricants, developed to enhance efficiencies in many industries.

Typical applications include fleet and commercial vehicles and long-haul trucks, as well as heavy-duty machinery used in mining and quarrying, freight, automotive, general engineering, shipping, construction and agriculture.

Specifically for these applications, BMG’s high-performance Liqui Moly oil additives comprise Cera Tec 3721 LM and Bakkie Series Oil Treatment 21456 LM. Included in the range of diesel additives are Diesel Purge 2520 LM, Diesel Particulate Protector 7180 LM, Anti-Bacterial Diesel 21317 LM and Super Diesel 8366 LM.

“Proper lubrication, with the right oils and additives, is essential for ensuring the efficiency and longevity of machinery and equipment. High-quality lubricants, oils and greases not only extend the service life of engines and machinery, but also significantly enhance the performance of critical components, like bearings and industrial gearboxes,” says Carlo Beukes, business development manager for BMG’s Agricultural, Automotive and Lubrication division.

«However, a major challenge we frequently encounter during site visits, is the procurement of low-cost oils. This cost-cutting approach often results in reduced efficiency, accelerated internal wear and repair costs that can skyrocket – sometimes tenfold.»

“An additional troublesome factor is high ambient temperature, which increases the temperature of oil in the transmission. The risk of inadequate lubrication and excessive wear thus increases, reducing the L-10 lifetime of the components and equipment. It is critical that industrial gearboxes function at optimal performance at all times, to be able to efficiently control the speed of motors used in various applications. Without regular lubrication, friction would affect integral parts of the gearbox, thus compromising efficiency and resulting in failure. Lubrication cools internal components and protects metal from corrosion, which reduces wear of the system.”

Liqui Moly Cera Tec additives have exceptional resistance to elevated temperature and pressure levels and are highly effective in protecting gears in industrial transmissions in many sectors, including sugar mills, mining, chemical plants, manufacturing and general engineering.

Cera Tec is a micro-ceramic solid lubricant suspension based on hexagonal boron nitride (BN) in selected base oils.

This product reduces friction and protects the engine and transmission against wear, thus extending service life of assemblies. Cera Tec also improves reliability of industrial equipment, lowers engine and transmission noise, minimises maintenance requirements and reduces downtime. Other benefits include energy savings, reduced risk of contamination, lower pollutant emissions and more efficient operating costs.

The graphite-like structure of resilient ceramic particles, with high mechanical and thermal stability, fill in the roughness in the metal of oil lubricated engines, transmissions, pumps and compressors, thereby preventing direct metal-on-metal contact.

According to BMG specialists, the inclusion of Cera Tec additives in transmission oil enables the reduction of the temperature of the oil by up to 20 degrees Celsius. This solution not only offers greater protection for machines, but also reduces the risk of malfunctions and lowers maintenance costs.
