For more than 25 years, LUBRILOG is specialized in production of very high quality lubricants for the lubrication of Open Gear Drives in raw material industries (Mining industry, Cement plants, Fertilizer industry, Power stations (coal), Steel, Aluminum, Chemical, Environment, etc.)<\/p>\n
In this way, LUBRILOG proposes lubricants for Open Gear Drives but also for fans bearings, Lepol\u00ae grate bearings, inlet seals of rotary kiln,\u00a0floating kiln tyres, etc. Our skills have allowed us to obtain the\u00a0FL SMIDTH<\/strong>\u00a0approval for the whole of our range, in addition to our current approvals\u00a0METSO MINERALS<\/strong>,\u00a0FIVES FCB<\/strong>,\u00a0\u00a0ALSTOM<\/strong>,\u00a0FERRY CAPITAIN<\/strong>,\u00a0CMD<\/strong>, etc.<\/p>\n Our technical department is able to provide an analysis or an advice for each plant anywhere in the world thanks to its experts in Open Gear Drives lubrication. LUBRILOG offers free technical support to all its customers through regular visits\u00a0to plants and detailed reports of the monitoring equipment.<\/p>\n We have also developed an innovative cleaning solution in service\u00a0: LUBRICLEAN EP.<\/p>\n Considering the cost of a production shutdown of a kiln or a mill, this solution enables in 1h30 maximum and without production stop, to ensure a cleaning of the equipment and to extend its life time (by reducing\u00a0 abrasive wear).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Cement plants customers<\/strong> : LAFARGE HOLCIM, HEIDELBERG, VICAT, SECIL, etc.<\/p>\n Mining industry customers<\/strong> : CODELCO, ANGLO-AMERICAN, MANAGEM, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t \t\t Based on its experience, LUBRILOG has developed a running-in process for large open gear drives, providing a maximum security and a long life.<\/p>\n After erection and setting-up of the drive (girth gear and pinions),\u00a0LUBRILOG recommends proceeding in two steps for which specific products were developed.<\/p>\n Priming is the initial lubrication of the gear set.\u00a0Immediately after the end of the mechanical settings a thick coat of specific and very sticky lubricant containing graphite is applied manually on the working flanks (with brush, without air inclusion, on the previously cleaned surfaces). All other teeth surfaces have to be covered as well, but in lower quantity.<\/p>\n Main functions of the initial impregnation are:<\/p>\n \t\t The running-in phase is very important and determines the shelf life of the open gear drive.<\/p>\n Indeed, damages can appear very quickly after the start-up stage. Even with very good mechanical settings, surface states are not perfect and the initial contact may represent only 50 to 60% due to machining or geometry imperfections.<\/p>\n In order to respect the mechanical constrains for which the girth gear was calculated, it is very important to use a running-in lubricant (slow lapping without abrasive particles) to improve the state of working flanks. This is achieved by distributing over a larger surface the transmission and the effective power.<\/p>\n The running-in procedure is different depending on the machine driven by the gear set (mills in cement plants or coal power stations, kilns, etc). Therefore, it is necessary to respect the manufacturer\u2019s instructions concerning the loading steps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t The following table shows the range of greases and oils suitable for spray lubrication (spraying of lubricant on the working flanks).
