BMG’s extensive range of sealing products encompasses Spanjaard lubricants, oils and greases, which are suitable for industrial, automotive, marine, mining and consumer applications.
“The effects of friction and the resulting wear of moving components are significantly reduced by lubrication,” says Marc Gravett, business unit manager, seals, BMG. “Not only do lubricants extend the service life of machinery and equipment, but they also play an important role in enhancing the performance of components like bearings and chains.
“Lubrication-related failures in machinery are generally preventable and through the application of the correct lubricant, at the right time. A multipurpose grease is adequate in many applications, but more arduous operating conditions demand the judicious selection of the correct lubricant and lubrication system.
“Although lubrication constitutes a small percentage of a company’s maintenance budget, the correct use of appropriate lubricants results in minimal downtime, extended service life of components and significant operational cost savings.”
BMG’s extensive portfolio of locally manufactured Spanjaard lubricants and allied chemical products have been principally formulated to improve performance of equipment and machinery and to enhance maintenance in heavy-duty applications.
These industrial products include anti-seize compounds, assembly and disassembly products, chain lubricants, transmission oils, cleaners and degreasers, electrical maintenance products, plastic moulding and cutting compounds, as well as engineering and fabrication materials.
Also available are a number of Spanjaard greasing solutions, including open gear lubricants and wire rope dressings; bearing and synthetic bearing greases, as well as other general grease products.
BMG’s technical resources team offers an oil analysis service, which consists of laboratory-based sampling and analysis, as well as on-site analysis and filtration and flushing. Other services include technical applications consulting, product and system design, product quality control and assurance, as well as condition monitoring services.
The company’s mobile technicians, with specialist technical skills, conduct breakdown and routine maintenance on plant. This group also carries out trouble shooting and advises on possible productivity improvements, to ensure the highest level of plant output and reliability.
The company’s recently upgraded distribution centre – BMG World – centralises functional and support operations onto one site, which enables the team to provide high levels of operating efficiency and service, in line with the continued growth of the business.
