ensuring a more consistent and efficient operation. According to OEM specifications, the temperature difference across the tooth width should not exceed 7 °C for a gear width of more than 700 mm. The implementation of CFT in the real-life operation of the ball mill led to temperature reductions at respective points by 4.1 °C, 13.9 °C, and 18.9 °C. The overall temperature delta was reduced from 21.0 °C to 6.2 °C. Additionally, a reduction in the working pressure in the lubrication system from 150 to 54 bar was achieved.


The challenges faced by the industry in open gear lubrication are formidable, demanding innovative solutions to ensure equipment reliability and longevity. CFT based lubrication has proven to be a transformative solution, addressing the specific challenges posed by open gear sets. The case study presented demonstrates the tangible benefits of CFT in reducing temperatures, improving gear set longevity, and enhancing operational efficiency.


The journey towards revolutionising open gear lubrication underscores the importance of


acknowledging challenges and adopting cutting-edge technologies that contribute to a more robust and resilient future in mill operations. The exploration of innovative lubrication methods demonstrates substantial advantages, including significant temperature reduction, prolonged gear set longevity, and the establishment of a more uniform and efficient operational environment.
