BDX SMS Tug Towage Customer Testimonial

SMS towage have been working with MDS Europe for more than five years and using BDX for over four years. They invited us to pay them a visit and hear their feedback on our hero product, BDX Bulldog

BDX 4 ball Wear Scar Test

This one hour test demonstrates a lubricants anti-wear properties. BullDog BDX produced outstanding results that were almost undetectable by the naked eye. The wear scar was measured at an incredible 0.45mm. We also tried to test the best known ‘market leading’ multifunction product, that test attempt had to be abandoned after only 7 seconds due to excessive vibration and wear occurring.

BDX 4 Ball Weld Test

The weld test is run for 10 seconds at increasing loads/weights. If the ball bearings remain free at the end of the test, another test is run with new bearings at an incrementally increased weight.

Manufacturing

Applications: Releasing & lubricating parts on machinery

Task: Releasing motor couplings, preventing seizing, protecting from corrosion.

Result: “We have a double grinder clay mill which grades and mills the clay ready to make bricks from. It has twin electric motors and number 2 motor needed to come off to be changed. When we went to remove it the coupling which attaches the motor to the machine it was completely seized on. We tried everything to get it off, heat, pullers, brute force etc. and nothing. So we gave it a squirt of BDX top and bottom and left it overnight. Next morning we gave it a light tap and off it came. It just doesn’t get any better does it!”
David Meredith – Forterra Building ProductsEngineering Manager

Quarrying

Applications: Lubrication, release & protection

Task: Chain lubrication, protecting from corrosion, preventing seizing.

Result: “We have a big wash barrel at the Queen Mary quarry & reservoir. It’s basically like a big tombola barrel but it is for washing aggregates. It is chain driven. Before we would have to get in at the drive chain and grease it up by hand. With BDX we can drip feed it onto the chain without removing the safety guards, which stay in place. BDX lubes everything beautifully without getting dirt stuck to it, we do it less often as it stays in place longer than grease. Most importantly as we can do it without removing the safety guards it is much SAFER.“
Chris Corley. Brett AggregatesQuarry Site Supervisor

Food Processing Industry

Applications: Releasing and lubricating fittings, valves, nuts, chains cables etc.

Task: Releasing & preventing corrosion on boiler fittings

Result: “The boss and myself where trying to undo a fitting on a steam boiler but it was seized solid. We were both swinging on it with big shifting wrenches. I sprayed a little BDX on it and in a couple of minutes I was able to undo it myself. The boss was more than happy to buy more after that. It’s like night and day compared to what we used to use.“
Gary Henderson – Shetland Fish Processors.

Fabrication & Engineering

“I had heard about BDX from a few people but was sceptical that it was any better than the usual stuff out there, most of which I have tried over the years, but I did decide to try some out. Not long after one of the local farmers came into my yard with a wee Ford tractor and asked if I could help him out as he was trying to get the exhaust manifold off and had got none out and had snapped two studs in the attempt. I tried the usual trick of welding a bit of rod to the broken studs and using it to screw them out but they were stuck fast and even the weld just broke. Then I tried the BDX on them. I squirted a bit on them and left them for a few minutes. I noticed some rust and dirt bubbling out from the side of the stud, so I gave them another squirt and welded a rod back on. I tried to turn the stud and got a little movement, so I fired a bit more BDX on and just kept working the stud back and forth. After a few minutes I got the 1st broken stud out and after doing the same thing got the second. A quick application to the untouched studs had them all out pretty quickly too. I couldn’t believe it and neither could the farmer but all the same the job was done. He said “ Flip, young Graham but you’re a good ‘un.” Been using BDX since. It works!”

BDX Tried & Tested By Motorcycle News

Facilities Installation & Maintenance

At Scobie’s we use the BDX on a variety of applications such as freeing up seized fittings, lubricating bearings & shafts, the reassembly of machine drive systems and as an inhibitor on the bakery equipment we repair and service. We also use the spray as a lubricant on conveyor rollers that are part of the packaging equipment we service for a major wholesale client. My team like the BDX spray as it is easy to use, works within 5 minutes of application in most cases and can be used on a variety of applications within the food industry where the majority of our customers are. We find that the product is a great releasing agent on parts that are seized within a housing or covered in products such as WD40, plus Gas etc that claim to do the same but do not have the impact BDX does. Our field service engineers find that one aerosol can of BDX covers a broader range of work solutions than a full range of releasing sprays, lubricants and cleaners from different manufacturers. Some of the engineers have said that when they have this in their vans, nothing is going to stop them from repairing a machine on site! I would recommend this to any company or engineer who is looking for a product that will reduce costs, time on site and also wants to reduce the number of product lines kept on site for maintenance work!”

Agri & Farming

Applications: Penetrating & release, lubrication, preventing seizing on heavy plant machinery & general workshop area.

Task: Releasing seized bolts on a lot of my old machinery, lubricating parts in the workshop, pre-treating parts & threaded components to stop them corroding

Result: “As with the Viscous Gear Lube product I also use, I was a bit sceptical at first but once I had used it a few times I reach for the can before anything else now – I even used it on seized windows in the workshop which wouldn’t open after winter, they were stiff as hell but BDX made it so I could open them with a flick of my fingers. Just a shame you changed the name it was a great one “ pass me the mutts nuts” was often heard in the workshop!”

Offshore & Marine

Applications: Anti-seize, lubrication, protection, restoring, release etc.

Task: Preventing salt water corrosion and seizing of anchor joining pins under water

Result: “We use a set-up of our own design to join anchor chains with 3” and 4” thick metal pins that allow the joining points to be set at different angles. The main problem with this is that they seize solid after some time in the water even with anti-seize compound. We found that coating them in BDX before applying the compound gave us a much better result. As the joints can be under salt water for anything from 30 days to 6 months the anti-seize eventually washes off but BDX continues to be effective beyond that and makes the components easily freed when the time comes. We have been doing this for several years now and will continue to do so for many more.“

Oil & Gas Industry

” We use BDX in a every department. Use it to keep kit good on the engineering side. Use it as a lubricant on lots of small plant with chains & cables etc. We do a lot of boat repair and also work on the decommissioning of oil and gas rigs. BDX is the best penetrating and release fluid the divers have ever had and they also got a result we didn’t expect, which is that it keeps the brass fittings on the dive team equipment in really good shape. As you can imagine any of the diving equipment is subject to corrosion and of course wet. As with a lot of folks in the area who use it and there are quite a few we find it just works and works well. Put it this way. Everyone here has a can in their toolbox, a can in their locker and a can at home! Can’t say much more than that.”
