Open Gear Lubricant 250 NC

• Open Gear Lubricant is recommended for many types of open gears such as grinding mills and rotary kilns, rack & pinions, dipper sticks, wire ropes, chains, bushes, circle rollers, rails and cables and multitude of other mechanisms found in the Mining, Steel, Cement, Sugar and other heavy industries.
• It can be applied by brush, by swab or by automatic lubrication systems.
• It provides lubrication for mining equipment including:
  -   girth and pinion gears on rod and ball mills;
  -   rack and pinion gears on shovel dipsticks;
  -   swing and pinion gears on top of the lower frame of shovels and draglines, which are sometimes served with an automatic lubrication system.

Note: Open Gear Lubricant is not recommended for use in high speed journal or roller bearings. Always confirm that the product selected is consistent with the original equipment manufacturer’s recommendation for the equipment operating conditions and customer’s maintenance practices.

Longer Equipment Life

High film strength provides excellent anti-wear protection to gear teeth under high, shock load conditions.

Ease of Application

Easily applied with brushes, swabs or through automatic lubrication systems. Open Gear Lubricant contains a non- chlorinated diluent that eases the application of these lubricants onto the gears. The diluent then evaporates, leaving a tacky lubricant film on the gear teeth. When used as a cable coating, the diluent allows the lubricant to penetrate into the core, thus carrying the lubricant into the individual strands and minimizes wear as the cable is run through sheaves or onto a winch drum.

Low Environmental Impact

The carrier solvent contained in Open Gear Lubricant is a non-ozone depleting diluent. Open Gear Lubricants also pass the EPA’s Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test.
