ExxonMobil tests lubricant for machinery in limestone quarry

Russia: ExxonMobil says it has saved a limestone quarry Euro7900/yr by switching Hitachi excavators to its Mobil DTE 10 Excel46 hydraulic oil. The product extended oil drain intervals by 25% to 5000 hours. It also reduced filter replacements.

“Our field engineering services team worked with the customer to identify the most suitable lubricant. As a result of this, they suggested a switch to Mobil DTE 10 Excel 46 hydraulic oil, which was developed to provide a long oil life and minimise deposit formation, even in hydraulic systems operating in severe conditions,” said Sarp Degirmenci, EAME Offer Advisor at ExxonMobil.
