Cement manufacturing combines three lubricant killers at once: abrasive dust, radiant heat and continuous heavy load. Clinker dust finds its way into every bearing housing. Kiln support rollers and clinker cooler bearings run hot around the clock. Girth gears on kilns and mills are exposed to the atmosphere and must carry enormous torque. Choosing lubricants by price per kilogram here is the most expensive decision a plant can make.
Banesto's cement-sector range is built around sealed-for-duty grease chemistry, adhesive open gear compounds and EP gear oils that hold their film in the dustiest corners of the plant.
Lubrication Challenges in Cement Plants
Abrasive Dust Ingress
Clinker and raw-meal dust is harder than most bearing steel — grease must seal housings and hold contaminants in suspension away from contact zones.
Kiln-Zone Heat
Kiln tyres, support rollers and cooler bearings see sustained high temperatures that demand high-dropping-point thickeners.
Open Girth Gears
Exposed kiln and mill girth gears need adhesive, load-carrying compounds that stay on the flank in rain, dust and heat.
Non-Stop Duty Cycles
Cement plants stop for nothing — lubricants must deliver long service intervals with zero unplanned downtime.
Recommended Banesto Products
Selected from our 852+ SKU range for the duty cycles most common in cement Plants. Every recommendation is matched by application — temperature envelope, load class, speed factor, and exposure environment — not by catalogue number.
Ca-Sulfonate Complex HT Grease
HIGH TEMP · EP · WATER RESISTANT
For kiln support rollers, cooler bearings and vibrating screens — thermal stability and inherent EP performance where lithium greases fail.
View Product →Wire Rope & Open Gear Grease
ADHESIVE · GRAPHITE FORTIFIED
Heavy adhesive compound for kiln and ball mill girth gears and crane ropes — bonds to the flank, cushions load, resists fling-off and washout.

EP ADDITIVES · DIN 51517-3
For mill and crusher gearboxes under sustained heavy torque — extreme-pressure protection with strong resistance to micropitting.
View Product →Hydraulic Oil HLP 46
ISO VG 46 · DIN 51524-2
Anti-wear hydraulic oil for roller press, cooler drive and packer hydraulics — excellent oxidation stability in hot, dusty conditions.
View Product →Compressor Oil (ISO 100)
THERMALLY STABLE · LOW SLUDGE
For the plant's compressed-air backbone — high oxidative stability keeps valves and separators clean between services.
