SICELUB LUBRITECH GROUP Leading company in lubrication reliability for more than 30 years in Latin America. Specialists in providing solutions to industry based on efficiency and asset management. More than 25,000 mist-lubricated machines in the most important refineries in Latin-America.

THE SICELUB LUBRITECH GROUP (GSL)

The Sicelub Lubritech Group (GSL) has been present in Ibero America for more than 30 years. We have been pioneers in Lubrication Engineering Solutions in the Continuous Process Industry and have the largest installed base in Latin America, Spain, Portugal and Italy.

The Sicelub Lubritech Group with a presence in Latin America, arose from the Strategic Alliance of Sistemas Centrales de Lubricación, SA de CV, founded in 1988 and from the Lubrication System Company, located in Houston, Texas, since 1968. It began operating in Mexico, and then developed its internationalization process towards Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago, Peru and Italy. In these countries our Company Name is Sicelub or Lubritech, indistinctly.

We started offering mist lubrication technology and Thermojet Purifiers equipment, and we becamea supplier of Integral Solutions.

Currently, the Sicelub Lubritech Group, and our original partner, Lubrication System Company, belong to the RelaDyne Group; being part of an International Group specialized in Lubrication Engineering Solutions.

GSL is a world leader in tribological solutions for the Energy Industry. We are a company with experienceand technologies aimed at spreading high-quality innovations through the delivery of “Turnkey” systems and programs. We support our users to increase the Reliability, Availability and Maintenance of their equipment in the short term. In these more than 30 years, we have introduced and developed innovative solutions in the market, suchas:

Oil Mist Lubrication for Centrifugal Pumps in Refineries and Chemical Plants. Over 25,000 mist lubricated pumps since 1988. Lubrimist brand.
Continuous Oil Purification Technology, Thermojet brand. More than 500 Purifiers operating.
High Velocity Oil Hydraulic Flushing Service. We are the Company with the most work carried out indifferent types of gas and steam turbines, lubrication and hydraulic systems in the steel andmining industries.

GSL is synonymous with Increased Productivity, Care for the Environment and Tribological Reliability.

Mission:

With the best professionals we provide tribological and reliability solutions. We apply best known practices along with cutting-edge technologies.

Our solutions are designed to increase the mechanical integrity, production and energy efficiency of process plants, always respecting the values and interests that guarantee the well-being of the community and the environment.

We propose specialized plans that increase the reliability of your machinery by reducing production stoppages and increasing the life hours of tribological equipment, for this we have trained personnel committed to meeting the highest quality standards.

Vision:

At the Sicelub Lubritech Group we work every day to become the Trusted Advisor of our Clients, selecting and applying technologies and procedures that improve the Tribological Reliability and Availability of their Assets.

Tribology:

Tribology is the science that studies friction, wear, and lubrication that take place during contact between solid moving surfaces. The term has been used universally since the end of the 20th century and encompasses a multidisciplinary definition where various intertwined sciences and techniques intervene.

LUBRICANT FUNCTIONS:

Every time we have a lubricant, we seek to fulfill different functions. Some of them are the following.

Lubricate: Separate the metal parts in relative movement to control wear to its minimum possible.
Refrigerate: In every mechanism in relative motion heat is generated; and lubrication has the function of removing that heat from the relative motion zone.
Clean: In the movement zone, wear is generated, then the lubricant has the function of removing these particles from the movement zone to avoid metal-metal contacts.
Corrosion Protection: In environments laden with pollutants such as steam, particles, etc .; lubrication also fulfills the function of protecting the internal parts of the mechanisms against the action of these contaminants.
Transmit Power: In the case of use as hydraulic fluid.

Therefore, the selection, conservation, application and maintenance of lubricants must consider all the above effects, since the minimum loss of any of them causes a decrease in the useful life of the mechanical element. There are several statistics supporting the relationship between Tribology and Reliability; among which we are interested in pointing out:

More than 50% of ball or roller bearing failures are rooted in poor lubrication.
19% of turbine failures are related to their lubrication system.
54% of steam turbine failures are related to contamination in the lubricationsystem.

RELIABILITY RELATIONSHIP WITH CONTAMINATION LEVELS IN THE LUBRICANT:

Some years ago, some life extension tables were presented; to show the relationship between the contamination levels of a lubrication system, with the life expectancy of mechanical elements such as bearings, gears, motors or hydraulic systems. We can clearly see what the relationship between the life expectancy of different mechanical elements is; with the presence of solid contaminants and water. We can easily understand that the combined presence of both pollutants; contributes synergistically to affect this relationship. SEE GRAPH
