Increasing performance with lubricants

By Swati Deshpande,

Added 21 May 2017

Yatendra Kumar, Business Head, MotulTech India speaks to The Machinist about role of lubricants in the manufacturing.

Manufacturers are concerned about increasing their machine performance and productivity without compromising on safety and environment regulations. What role is MotulTech playing in this?

Our products follow health, safety and environment (HSE) regulations and so far we have not received any feedback with regard to health or machining safety aspect. Having said so, disposal is a major concern today. To make our contribution in this area, we are working with government approved agencies, which deal with disposals, and making our customers aware about the right disposal process. Disposal is especially a bigger concern in case of water soluble lubricants.

Again, quality of oil plays an important role here. With the right processes and good quality of oil, users can save money and environment. If less amount of oil is consumed, lesser amount is disposed and also it consumes less energy for disposal. So, quality of the oil matters not only while the oil is in use but even after that.

Today, ‘value addition' is a buzz word. How do you work with your customers to offer them a complete solution than just a product?
We have introduced range of synthetic oils, which give better results as compared to conventional oils. Depending upon its use, customers can get oil life upto 10 times and upto 10 percent energy saving from the synthetic technology.

Going beyond this, we work with the customers, understand their processes and offer an optimum solution to them. However, this method is based on the client's approach the gestation period is high. It takes 6-24 months for results to be seen. Although investment and time is high initially, this method gives sustainable result to the customer.
