Mining Equipment to Lubricant Selection Matrix

Use this matrix to prepare the requirement. Final selection must be checked against the equipment manual and the lubricant already in service.

Equipment or component	Lubricant family	Critical selection details
Excavators, loaders and drills	Hydraulic oil	OEM specification, ISO viscosity grade, pump type, temperature, filtration and water exposure
Haul trucks and mobile plant	Engine, transmission and axle fluids	Equipment model, engine and driveline specifications, duty cycle and service interval
Crushers, mills and conveyors	Gear oils and bearing greases	Gear type, load, speed, vibration, temperature, contamination and relubrication method
Open gears and wire ropes	Adhesive open gear or wire rope lubricant	Pitch line speed, load, application system, dust, water and inspection requirement
Pins, bushes and chassis points	Extreme pressure grease	Base oil viscosity, thickener, NLGI grade, shock load, water resistance and compatibility
Generators and compressors	Engine or compressor oil	Machine type, fuel or gas, OEM specification, discharge temperature and drain interval

Lubricants for Mobile and Fixed Mining Plant

A mine normally uses several lubricant families at the same time. Mobile equipment may require engine oil, transmission fluid, axle oil, hydraulic oil, coolant and chassis grease. Fixed plant can add industrial gear oils, compressor oils, electric motor bearing greases and open gear products. Combining these into a controlled site schedule reduces product confusion and makes storage, labelling and replenishment easier.

Selection for Dust, Water, Load and Heat

Mining service is defined by contamination and mechanical severity. Fine dust can enter through breathers and seals. Water can wash grease away or promote corrosion. Shock load and vibration challenge the lubricant film. High ambient and component temperatures affect viscosity. The correct response is not simply to choose the thickest oil or grease. The product must meet the equipment requirement and remain suitable for the operating condition.

Confirm the exact OEM specification and viscosity grade.
Record the present product before topping up or changing.
Check compatibility of oil, grease thickener, seals and materials.
Review filtration, breathers, storage and transfer equipment.
Set sampling and relubrication intervals using operating hours and condition.

Oil Analysis and Lubrication Programme Support

Used oil analysis can identify changes in wear metals, contamination, viscosity and lubricant condition when samples are taken consistently and results are trended against operating hours and maintenance events. One result should not be treated as a complete diagnosis. Epoxy Oilserv can coordinate product supply and oil analysis requirements where the scope is confirmed.

Delivery to Mining Operations in Nigeria

For supply planning, state the mine or project location, access requirements, storage arrangement, pack size and delivery date. Availability is confirmed per product and destination. For remote operations, consolidating lubricants by maintenance interval can reduce emergency orders and avoid mixing products with similar names but different specifications.

What to Include in the Enquiry

Equipment make, model and component
OEM lubricant specification and viscosity grade
Current product and reason for changing, if applicable
Operating temperature, load, dust, water and duty cycle
Pack size, quantity, mine location and required date
TDS, SDS, certificate or oil analysis requirements

Specification note: Do not change or mix mining lubricants using viscosity alone. Confirm the full performance requirement and compatibility before conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which lubricants are commonly used in mining equipment?

Mining operations commonly use engine oils, hydraulic oils, transmission and axle fluids, industrial gear oils, open gear lubricants, compressor oils, coolants and greases. The correct grade and performance level depend on the machine and duty.

Can one grease be used across the entire mine?

Usually not. High speed bearings, slow heavily loaded pins, electric motors, wet areas and open gears can need different base oil viscosities, thickeners and performance characteristics.

Can Epoxy Oilserv deliver to a remote mining site?

Delivery capability and timing are confirmed for the specific product, quantity and location. Include site access and required date in the enquiry.

Do you support oil analysis?

Oil analysis requirements can be coordinated where confirmed. Provide equipment details, lubricant, sampling point, operating hours and the maintenance question the analysis should answer.
