Equipment reliability is critical to the construction and cement industries that depend on the timely and efficient completion of projects. Implementing efficient lubrication service schedules helps to ensure the reliability of equipment operating under a variety of conditions and constraints.

 

Caltex products are available to fully service the needs of the cement and construction industries and the vehicles and equipment on which it depends – from fixed and mobile concrete mixers, cranes and hoists, to piling equipment, crushing equipment and rotary kilns.

 

Cement Industry Applications
Gears
Caltex Meropa® — A high performance, extreme pressure, industrial gear lubricant formulated to provide rust, oxidation and corrosion inhibition where loads and shock loadings are high. They are recommended for enclosed industrial gear drives; spur, bevel, helical, worm, and industrial hypoid gear cases; and reduction gearboxes on cement mills, ball and rolling mills, crushers, conveyors, and kilns.

 

Industrial Open Gear and Chain Lubricant
Caltex Crater® CSF — A sprayable, tacky, lithium soap-based grease specifically designed for open gear lubrication. Recommended for open ring gears and pinion drives, and reduction gearing; sliding surfaces of drag lines, shovels, and fork lift rails; chain and sprocket drives.

 

Hydraulic Pumps
Caltex Rando®, Caltex Rando® HD and Caltex Rando® HDZ — Oils designed to give maximum protection to hydraulic pumps. They are recommended for hydraulic or circulating oil systems, including hydraulic actuated loading bins or equipment that runs at various operating temperatures. Caltex Rando oils meet all major pump manufacturers' requirements including Vickers, Racine, Cincinnati Lamb and Denison.

 

Industrial Greases
Caltex Starplex® — Premium quality, mineral oil based, multipurpose lithium complex, extreme pressure greases for a variety of industrial applications. They are recommended as multipurpose industrial greases where elevated operating temperature is a concern. Providing superior rust and corrosion protection and resistance to water washout, they are particularly effective in providing wear protection under high loads and shock load service.

Construction Industry Applications
Diesel Engine Oil
Caltex Delo® 400 Multigrade (SAE 15W-40) — Premium performance, multigrade, heavy-duty diesel engine oil specifically designed to lubricate a wide range of diesel and gasoline engines requiring API CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, SL, ACEA E7 or JASO DH-1 performance lubricants operating under the most severe service conditions. Specifically designed for the latest electronically controlled diesel engines, including those fitted with EGR, experiencing high soot loading. Formulated with ISOSYN base oils and the latest additive technology to provide exceptional soot dispersancy, deposit control and wear protection.

 

Industrial Open Gear and Chain Lubricant
Caltex Crater® CSF — A sprayable, tacky, lithium soap-based grease specifically designed for open gear lubrication. Recommended for open ring gears and pinion drives, and reduction gearing; sliding surfaces of drag lines, shovels, and fork lift rails; chain and sprocket drives.
