High-purity lubricants especially important in the harsh steel environment of the steel works. |  | May 2010
The Rautaruukki Corporation manufactures metal-based components and integrated systems for the construction and engineering industries offering an extensive selection of metal products and services marketed under the Ruukki label.
Their Raahe Steel Works specializes in hot rolled plates and strip. This plant is the largest steel works in the Nordic area and in turn one of the largest industrial sites in Finland. Raahe Steel Works uses 190 tons of lubricating grease each year dispensed through 23 Fluid-Bag discharging stations.
Fluid-Bag has proven unbeatable as a grease package due to the high level of purity Fluid-Bag’s closed system provides. Raahe Steel Works has used Fluid-Bags for over 20 years. Avoidance of contamination in the lubricants has resulted in a significant reduction in greasing problems. Complex, environmentally detrimental return transportation of empty containers have been eliminated.
Fluid-Bag containers consist of a small amount of readily disposable components. Together with minimal grease residue after discharge there is little material in need of disposal. Empty Fluid-Bags, including any residual grease, are sent to an incinerating plant for energy recovery.
