Oils for Mining in Colombia

The mining industry in Colombia operates under extreme conditions, where machinery is exposed to high temperatures, heavy loads, and dusty environments. To ensure optimal performance and a longer lifespan of the equipment, choosing the right oil is essential.

In our company, we offer a wide range of oils for mining in Colombia, with specialized advice to help you select the ideal lubricant according to your operation's needs.

The mining sector relies on heavy machinery such as excavators, pneumatic hammers, haul trucks, skid steers, drills, and mills. These machines require specialized lubrication to prevent premature wear, improve energy efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs.

Mining oils offer:
✅ Wear protection for engines and hydraulic components.
✅ Greater thermal stability to operate in extreme temperatures.
✅ Contamination resistance from dust, water, and mineral residues.
✅ Maintenance cost savings and reduced operational downtime.

In our company, we have oils from the leading brands in the sector, ensuring high-performance products for every mining application.

Depending on the type of equipment and operating conditions, the most commonly used oils in mining include:

Truck and excavator engines require high-performance oils with detergent and dispersant properties that minimize soot and combustion residue buildup.

🔹 Recommended examples:

• SAE 15W-40 (API CK-4, CI-4)
• SAE 10W-40 for cold climates or cold starts

Our portfolio includes diesel engine oils from Mobil, Shell, Chevron, Petronas, and more.

The hydraulic systems of loaders, shovels, and drills require oils that withstand high pressures and temperatures without losing viscosity or generating foam.

🔹 Recommended examples:

• ISO VG 32, 46, and 68 (depending on temperature and workload)
• Oils with anti-wear (AW) technology and oxidation resistance

We work with recognized brands to ensure the best performance of your hydraulic equipment.

Differentials, gearboxes, and transmission systems operate under extreme loads and require lubricants with high shear resistance and thermal stability.

🔹 Recommended examples:

• SAE 80W-90 and 85W-140 with API GL-5 specification
• Automatic transmission oils like ATF DEXRON
• Synthetic lubricants for high-temperature environments

We have lubricants for transmissions and differentials from Shell, Gulf, Chevron, Mobil, and more.

In addition to oils, mines require lubricating greases to protect bearings, open gears, and steel cables in humid and dusty conditions.

🔹 Recommended examples:

• Greases with molybdenum disulfide for heavy loads
• Complex lithium greases for high temperatures
• Greases with high viscosity base oil for mills

We offer a variety of industrial greases that ensure maximum protection and performance.

To select the ideal oil, it is important to evaluate the following aspects:

✅ Operating temperature: Oils must maintain their viscosity in warm and cold climates.
✅ Load and pressure: Choose lubricants with anti-wear and extreme pressure (EP) additives.
✅ Compatibility with equipment: Use products recommended by machinery manufacturers.
✅ Contamination resistance: Opt for oils with high chemical stability and filterability.

If you are unsure which oil is ideal for your machinery, our team of experts can advise you on the best choice to optimize the performance of your mining equipment.

• Longer equipment lifespan: Reduces wear on critical components.
• Fuel consumption optimization: Minimizes friction and improves engine efficiency.
• Less downtime: Reduces the need for corrective maintenance.
• Protection against corrosion and wear: Extends the lifespan of bearings and gears.
