Mining Industry
As Russian experience shows, approximately three out of four small-scale companies, when beginning to develop deposits, acquire used rather than new equipment. As production grows and a certain volume of commercial metal is produced, companies begin modernizing their operations by acquiring new machines. When operating equipment, it is important to consider that mining involves operating machinery in harsh conditions. Heavy loads, dust, weather conditions, and corrosion negatively impact the operation of machinery, leading to its rapid wear.
That's why this industry requires special attention to high-quality maintenance of components and equipment overall to improve the wear resistance of expensive machinery. FUCHS specialists work closely with leading mining equipment manufacturers. The ever-increasing load on equipment, coupled with its operation in dusty and humid conditions, requires the use of lubricants with increased demands. FUCHS lubricants are designed to meet all the requirements of mining operations, making their use recommended in many applications.
Currently, the FUCHS plant in Kaluga, which has been fully operational for over a year, produces 80% lubricants for supply to mining companies and mines across Russia. Unlike competitors, manufacturing at the plant in Russia allows us to specify and fix product prices in rubles, taking into account the challenging economic situation.
