Inside the expanded plant at FUCHS LUBRICANTS SOUTH

Leading lubricants manufacturer and supplier FUCHS LUBRICANTS SOUTH AFRICA introduced customers to its new expanded Isando facility during a customer day on 26 February 2025. Manufacturing Executive Thami Mzolo, who has been involved with the project since joining the company in early 2024, comments that it is the most efficient plant built and upgrade he has ever been involved with.

“We contracted out the EPCM project to DRA Global and they did a fantastic job in terms of attention to de-tail on the design and ex*****on, to the extent that we commissioned the plant a full month ahead of sched-ule. Since commissioning, we have achieved a 100% right first-time manufacturing result in the new plant.”

FUCHS embarked on the second round of its investment strategy, ‘Creating Capacity’, in mid-2020, explains MD Paul Deppe. “We purchased neighbouring land and as Phase 1 of the project we built a new warehouse and head office in Isando, both completed at the end of 2022. The new warehouse is 4.5 times larger than the old one, significantly reducing congestion and improving storage for raw materials, packaging, and fin-ished goods,” says Deppe.
“The aim of the customer day was to showcase our new facilities and increased capacity. As the leading in-dependent lubricants manufacturer, this will unlock significant further opportunities and markets for us,” comments Deppe. “It was not just the actual technology we showcased, but also the level of control, auto-mation, and integration with our new SAP ERP system.”

Now that the expanded facility is up and running, Mzolo’s mission is to maintain flexibility while taking ad-vantage of the high efficiencies and ensure FUCHS’ commitment to their customers of a quick turnaround. “The focus now is to look at further operational efficiencies in our processes to unlock more capacity and enhance our flexibility by removing inefficiency and waste,” says Mzolo.
The aim of the project was to move the high-volume, fast-moving, large-batch products out of the existing plant. State of the art technology has been incorporated into the new tank farm, blending plant, and filling lines, while the existing plant remains.
Mzolo highlights key advancements in FUCHS’ new production facility. The new plant has increased available manufacturing capacity by over 40%. “This means that we are geared to capture future business seamlessly and are prepared to grow with our customers.” The new plant consists of three blending vessels, five base oil tanks, and two additive vessels, adding an extra 300 000 litres of blending capacity.

In addition to the blending capacity, the plant boasts a massive 1.3 million litres of base oil storage and 120 000 litres of additive storage. The blending process is fully automated, with a control system seamlessly inte-grated into the SAP ERP system. This ensures precise dosing and consistent processing of materials, main-taining the high-quality standards FUCHS’ customers have come to expect.

Three new state-of-the-art filling lines have also been introduced which significantly increases the capacity of filling of IBCs, drums, pails, and small packs, typically 1 litre and 5 litre pack sizes. Bulk line filling is fully au-tomated using loadcells to ensure the correct quantity is filled every time, and both drums and IBCs can be packed interchangeably. The new 20 litre pail line, also using loadcells for the filling, has a vision system to ensure correct labelling and a cap sensor that ensures good quality product at the end of the line.

The Small Pack Line features ten modular stations, eight of which are fully automated. This line runs both 1 litre and 5 litre products interchangeably, depending on the product configuration. The latest quality assur-ance technology includes sensors to prevent leaking bottles and a checkweigher to ensure there are no missing packs in the cases.

“On top of these new developments, we are working hard to ensure that the existing plant continues to deliver high-quality products to customers when they need them,” says Mzolo. The l***s filling plant con-sists of ten filling lines, namely three drum lines, three 20 litre lines, one IBC line, and two small pack lines, including the new Small Pack line.

On the other side of the facility is the grease plant that was commissioned in 2018. It has been instrumental in supplying high-performance grease products to customers across diverse industries. Robust systems and well-trained staff ensure consistent production and quality. “Grease plant capacity can be increased by 25% by introducing an additional shift, which demonstrates our ability and readiness to meet future demand.”

The demand for specialty greases is growing significantly, which means that FUCHS’ expanded grease plant is ideally positioned to supply customers with products that meet stringent quality and performance stand-ards. “It is a testament to our commitment to innovation and production excellence that we are able to com-fortably meet this increased demand,” says Mzolo. “The overall expansion ensures we continue to lead in the industry, delivering quality and value in an efficient and sustainable way at every level,” he concludes.

WearCheck launches advanced thermography course

Condition monitoring specialist company, WearCheck, recently launched a new training course - InfraFocus - to upskill users of thermographic cameras.

The company’s ARC (asset reliability care) technicians developed the two-day course for customers, highlighting the best ways to capture thermographic imagery for use in a condition monitoring programme.

Operations manager for the ARC team, Annemie Willer, discusses the merits of the course, which is also mandatory for all WearCheck’s ARC technicians.
‘Our aim is to help clients get the most benefit from thermography with improved accuracy.

‘In thermography, a thermal camera captures and creates an image (thermogram) of an object by using infrared radiation emitted from the object – this is an example of infrared imaging science. The amount of radiation emitted by an object increases with temperature, therefore, thermography allows variations in temperature to be seen. When viewed through a thermal imaging camera, warm objects stand out well against cooler backgrounds.
‘Thermography highlights machinery components that are outside of the “normal” operating temperature, indicating a potential problem with the machine. Capturing the correct details in a series of images over time is critical to gain the best insight into a machine’s condition, using thermography.’

The specialised InfraFocus course was developed in partnership with renowned photographer Francki Burger, and addresses crucial aspects that are often overlooked in traditional thermography training: focus, composition, and angle.

Willer continues, ‘In thermography, the precision of thermal images is paramount for accurate diagnostics. Meticulously ensuring that the focus is good ensures that the thermal images are clear and detailed, allowing for precise identification of potential issues. Composition and angle, on the other hand, influence the contextual accuracy of the images, ensuring they capture the relevant thermal anomalies in a consistent manner.

‘Without proper focus, even the best thermographic equipment cannot deliver reliable results. Composition and angle further ensure that each image provides a true representation of the thermal profile of the equipment being monitored. This is especially critical when comparing images over time to detect changes or trends.

The role of repeatability in data accuracy
‘Repeatability in thermographic surveys is essential for accurate data analysis. Consistent imaging practices allow for reliable comparison of thermal data across different time periods, enabling the detection of gradual changes that might indicate developing faults. Inconsistent imaging, with variations in focus, composition, or angle, can lead to misinterpretations and incorrect diagnostics, potentially compromising the entire condition monitoring programme.

‘Why did WearCheck develop this course? Traditional thermography courses, while comprehensive, often lack sufficient practical training in these critical areas. Many of these courses are designed for individuals with advanced technical backgrounds, leaving a gap for artisans and technicians who may not have the same level of formal education or familiarity with technical terminology.’

Addressing this gap, WearCheck’s ARC team developed the focused photography course tailored specifically for thermographers.
‘Francki Burger's expertise in photography has been instrumental in transforming our thermographers' approach to capturing thermal images. Her experience in various photography domains, where precision and consistency are critical, has provided invaluable insights into the importance of focus, composition, and angle.
‘Since implementing this specialised training, we have observed a significant improvement in the quality and consistency of thermal images captured by our in-house thermographers and our clients. This improvement has enhanced the repeatability of our data, leading to more accurate diagnostics and more reliable condition monitoring reports.

‘As we continue to develop and employ machine learning algorithms to expedite our analysis processes, the consistent quality of our thermal images will be crucial. The enhanced repeatability will ensure that our algorithms can interpret the data accurately, leading to quicker and more precise fault detection.
The two-day course can be scheduled on any date that suits the customer, and is run on site at a customer’s premises in any country, or at WearCheck’s offices. Customers in Mozambique and South Africa have already completed the course.
