Introduction:

The demand for greases is max. in developed countries where high level of automation are employed. This demand can be directly linked to the engineering strength of country and its oil resources. At many a times it also depends on the awareness of the end users. Grease is mainly used to reduce friction and increase the life of all moving and rotating metal parts.

Uses:

Grease is used widely  by the Shipping Industry, Machinery, Automotive Industries, Steel Plants, etc.

Brief Process

A part of Lubricants oil is charged to the saponifaction kettle along with fats plus fatty acids, alkalies like Lithium hydroxide. The batch of these raw material is heated in a saponifaction kettle under constant strirring  till the reaction is completed which is judge by testing the sample. After the reaction is completed balance lubricating oil is added and the mass transfered to a cooling kettle. Cooling is carried out in a cooling kettle under constant stirring and cool water circulating. After the product is cooled to a required temperature the grease is pumped to a milling machine and deareating system  which mills the product to alternately packed in 1,2,5 or 10 Ltr. packs.
