Aggregate

Rock Solid Reliability

The aggregate industry encompasses a broad category of coarse particulate materials used in construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete, and geosynthetic aggregates. Heavy-duty equipment in this industry operates under extreme environmental conditions, making the choice of lubricant critical for operational success. Lubrication Technologies, Inc. (LTI) offers a comprehensive lubrication reliability program focused on maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of lubricants to protect both the equipment and the lubricant itself.

Aggregate Industry Applications We Service

  • Excavators and Backhoes
  • Wheel Loaders and Compactors
  • Hauling Equipment
  • Crushing, Screening, and Stacking Equipment
  • Loading and Digging Equipment

Common Lubrication Challenges and Our Solutions

Bearing Failures

Heat can cause grease to melt and run out of bearings, while poor seals can let in contaminants. Our extremely tacky greases are nearly impervious to water washout and can handle heavy loads with ease. We also offer automatic lubrication systems to ensure grease is applied in the right place at the right time in the right quantity.

Engine Oil

For longer oil life and superior engine protection, our long-lasting engine oils and LE’s Xamine™ Oil Analysis help you safely extend oil drain intervals, ensuring optimal engine performance.

Diesel Fuel

Water in diesel fuel can cause power loss and dirty injectors. Our Full Torque Diesel Fuel Improver cleans fuel pumps, injectors, and combustion chambers, improving fuel economy, reducing emissions, and lowering operational costs. It is available in winter (W) and summer (S) versions.

Wire Rope

Protect your wire ropes, cables, and draglines from rust, corrosion, and fraying with our full line of penetrating and coating wire rope lubricants. Our solutions ensure safe, reliable operation and reduce labor costs.

Our Holistic Approach to Reliability Solutions

  • Automatic Lubrication Systems

    Our automatic lubrication systems precisely dispense the right amount of lubricant to critical components while equipment is in use. By eliminating the inconsistencies of manual greasing, these systems reduce wear, prevent missed lubrication points, and extend component life.

    Designed for reliability, our systems feature adjustable intervals, pressure monitoring, and metered distribution to ensure consistent lubrication across all lubrication points. This precision minimizes lubricant waste, reduces maintenance costs, and enhances equipment uptime.

    With a professional installation approach, we design systems that integrate seamlessly with your equipment, ensuring optimized lubrication without operator intervention. The result? Improved reliability, reduced downtime, and long-term savings on maintenance and repairs.

  • Lubricants
    We supply high-performance lubricants from Lubrication Engineers, designed to protect critical components in extreme conditions. Engineered for durability, these lubricants reduce friction, prevent contamination, and withstand heavy loads, ensuring maximum efficiency and extended equipment life. Formulated with proprietary additive technology and superior base oils, LE lubricants outperform conventional options by providing longer service life, enhanced protection, and reduced operating costs.

  • Oil Analysis & Condition Monitoring
    Our oil analysis services utilize third-party laboratories to provide unbiased assessments of lubricant condition. Through independent testing, we help detect potential issues early, monitor lubricant health, and support proactive maintenance strategies. By identifying contamination, degradation, and wear, oil analysis ensures optimal equipment performance and minimizes costly downtime.

  • Customized Lubrication Management Programs for Improved Asset Reliability
    Our tailored programs integrate lubrication management, condition monitoring, and preventive maintenance strategies to enhance equipment reliability and reduce downtime. By optimizing lubrication practices and proactively addressing inefficiencies, we help businesses extend component life, minimize maintenance costs, and maximize asset performance.

Lubricants - Small Cost, Huge Returns

Lubrication Management Programs Protect Your Assets and Save You Money:

Although lubricants make up a mere 3% of the typical maintenance budget; using ineffective products, techniques and applications can have a significant impact on the lubrication-related costs that make up 40% of that budget. A Lubrication Management Program designed by the Technical Consultants at Lubrication Technologies, Inc. can help you target those areas where you see red.

  • Your equipment and components will last longer, run more efficiently and more reliably, and you won’t replace equipment or components prematurely
  • Your labor force will spend less time on routine lubrication-related maintenance and no time on lubricant-related equipment failures
  • You’ll reduce over-all lubricant consumption as well as waste
