What we supply to ports and terminals

Vasundhara Performance Solutions supplies ports, jetties, bulk and container terminals and tank terminals with four lines of maintenance and safety supply: lubricants for cranes, conveyors, reclaimers, winches and gearboxes; welding and hardfacing consumables for repair work; HD Fire Protect monitors, foam and deluge equipment; and CITEL surge protection for port electrical and control systems. The products named on this page come from manufacturers we are authorised to distribute, and the maker's data sheet goes with every quotation.

Lubricants for cranes, conveyors, reclaimers and winches

Port machinery is lubricated to the grade its maker specifies, so we quote against the nameplate, the manual or the oil now in use. The grades below come from our authorised industrial ranges and each has its own page with the maker's published figures.

• Hydraulics. Kixx HYDRO HDZ in ISO 32, 46 and 68 is a high viscosity index hydraulic fluid (VI 152, as published by GS Caltex). GS Caltex list marine deck equipment, steering gears and bow thrusters among its uses, which suits machinery that works in open weather. Kixx HYDRO HD and Kixx HYDRO AW cover systems that do not need the higher viscosity index.
• Gearboxes. Enclosed drives on cranes, winches, conveyors and reclaimers take an extreme-pressure gear oil in the ISO VG grade on the gearbox nameplate. We supply Balmerol Protomac SP, Veedol Apreslube and Kixx GEAR EP (ISO 100 to 460, published by GS Caltex to DIN 51517 Part 3 CLP).
• Greases. For bearings exposed to rain, spray and wash-down, a calcium sulphonate complex grease such as Veedol Calsol 2 Pro (drop point above 300 °C, as published by Veedol) or Veedol Calsol EP 2. For covered conveyor and motor bearings, a lithium EP grease of NLGI 2 such as Veedol Alithex EP 2.
• Wire ropes and open gears. SELCO SG-225 wire rope lubricant and SELCO SG-250 open gear lubricant. SELCO anti-seize for fasteners on exposed equipment.

Lubricants for the vessels themselves are supplied to order in the make and grade the vessel or engine maker specifies; see marine lubricants. Used oil from port machinery can be tested through our oil analysis service.

Welding and hardfacing for maintenance

For repair welding on structures, crane parts and handling equipment we supply Ador welding consumables. For worn surfaces, the Ador Zedalloy range runs from 25 to 62 HRc by grade. Ador list conveyor rolls among the uses of Zedalloy 20Cr, a work-hardening grade also used as a buffer layer. Deposit hardness for each grade is on Ador's data sheet, sent with the quotation.

Fire protection for jetties and tank farms

We are an authorised HD Fire Protect distributor. For jetties, berths and tank farms we supply HD Fire monitors and monitor nozzles, foam equipment (foam chambers, foam makers, pourers, bladder tanks and proportioners) and deluge valves, against your design or bill of quantities. Flow, pressure, materials and any listing are on HD Fire's data sheet for each model. For a jetty, state the site conditions so the model can be checked against it.

Fire pumps, hydrants, hose reels, detection and extinguishers are not HD Fire products; where a project needs them we source them from their own makers and say so on the quotation. Design flows and the number of monitors come from your fire consultant. We install and commission the equipment we supply.

Surge protection for port electrical and control systems

Open quays and long cable runs to cranes and conveyors are exposed to lightning and switching transients. We supply CITEL surge protective devices: Type 1 at incomers with an external lightning protection system or overhead supply, Type 2 at distribution boards and crane or conveyor control panels, and data-line SPDs for Ethernet, RS-485 and signal lines. CITEL prices are published in our shop.
