About Simera Trace
Graphene expertise for mining
We are pioneers in graphene lubrication for heavy industry—the first to bring this technology to Africa. Our team works on site at mines across Africa and the Middle East, running fuel savings trials that prove energy and maintenance benefits with your data, not generic claims.
What it is
A graphene lubricant mixed into your existing engine oil. It is designed for diesel and petrol engines in mining plant—haul trucks, loaders, drills, generators, and more. You do not replace your oil programme; you enhance it with a proven additive applied at the correct ratio.
How it works
- Surface protection. Graphene flakes migrate to metal surfaces inside the engine and form a slippery, protective layer.
- Less friction. Moving parts slide with less resistance—so less fuel is burned to do the same work.
- Heat management. Heat moves away from contact points faster, protecting rings, bearings, and liners under load.
- Wear reduction. Smoother surfaces and boundary protection mean less scuffing and longer component life over time.
What you save
Energy and fuel. Most sites see diesel reductions in the 5–8% range after on-site validation, with up to 8% possible when equipment runs under higher load.
Equipment life. Less friction and wear at the metal interface supports longer intervals between major repairs—especially on assets where downtime costs the most.
Results depend on your fleet, load profile, and baseline. That is why every engagement starts with a fuel savings trial on your mine.
Why Simera Trace
We combine deep graphene knowledge with on-the-ground mining experience. We set up the trial, train your team, measure fuel and wear indicators, and leave you with auditable results—so leadership and maintenance can decide together on rollout.
