Mining’s old guard needs strong medicine
A new report details subpar investor returns in the mining industry over the last decade, particularly big cap diversified companies which have not adapted to new realities.
MOSCOW – ExxonMobil has launched Mobil Dynagear™ Series, a new range of high-performance industrial greases, designed to help mining operators in Russia reduce unscheduled maintenance and improve the performance of open gear sets. The Mobil Dynagear Series is the newest addition to ExxonMobil’s growing portfolio of Mobil-branded industrial and commercial vehicle lubricants.
Mobil Dynagear Series greases have been engineered to meet the needs of heavily loaded open gears applications such as draglines and electric shovels, which require exceptional extreme-pressure (EP)/anti-wear (AW) performance. Based on lithium-thickener technology, Mobil Dynagear Series is formulated with high-performance additives and high-viscosity semi-synthetic base fluids to provide a lubricant film that firmly adheres to surfaces, protecting the equipment from dirt, dust, debris and water. As a result, Mobil Dynagear Series can help to protect and extend equipment life, which significantly helps lengthen the time between new equipment purchases and reduces equipment maintenance costs.
Mobil Dynagear Series greases do not contain asphalt. As a result, this helps to maintain clean spray nozzles and prevents root build up and flaking at low temperature, which can cause gear sets to misalign. The greases also enable simpler, potentially less expensive, clean-up of the gear teeth and guard, helping to reduce the amount of maintenance and inspection work on critical open-gear systems.
Designed to stay in place and adhere to the gear teeth, the Mobil Dynagear Series is able to absorb moderate amounts of water with little change to the lubricant film, providing long lasting lubrication and protection.
In addition to the Mobil Dynagear Series, ExxonMobil offers a wide range of high-performance lubricants to the mining industry:
Mobilgrease XHPTM MINE Series – These greases are designed to provide off-highway and mining equipment exceptional extreme pressure and anti-wear performance even in the harshest conditions including high temperatures.
“Mining equipment is subjected to extremely heavy loads and operates in tough environments. Mine operators are continually looking for the best ways to increase productivity and reduce unscheduled downtime,” said Umut Urkun, industrial lubricants marketing advisor – Europe, Africa & Middle East, ExxonMobil Fuels & Lubricants. “With its excellent low temperature performance and outstanding protection, Mobil Dynagear Series can offer mine site operators in Russia confidence that their equipment will be ready to perform even in the most extreme conditions while helping to minimize maintenance costs.”

Signum enables operators to proactively monitor the condition of lubricants and address conditions which have the potential to lead to unscheduled downtime and increased costs.
* Energy efficiency relates solely to the fluid performance when compared with ExxonMobil’s standard hydraulic fluids. The technology used allows up to 6% increase in hydraulic pump efficiency compared with Mobil DTE 20 Series when tested in standard hydraulic applications. The energy efficiency claim for this product is based on test results on the use of fluid conducted in a controlled laboratory environment in accordance with all applicable industry standards and protocols. Actual results may vary depending on operating conditions.
