Product Information

Group ll oils are described as being mildly hydrotreated. While no human data exists for these lubricants, animal data has indicated possible or probable carcinogenicity. Mild hydrotreating helps reduce the amount of carcinogenic PAHs but does not necessarily eliminate them. Increasing the temperature and pressure of hydroprocessing can eliminate carcinogenic compounds. These units are both very popular for lubricating bearings and bearing units on conveyors, motors, pumps, and blowers. They can be installed directly at the bearing or they can be piped to the lube point from nearby so as to get around guards or barriers or to simplify changeover/refilling in tight or dangerous locations. Additionally, investing in technology to monitor bearing health is proving to be of significant value to plants around the world. Not only is a condition monitoring system going to help prevent grease from drying out, it will save you time and money by reducing unplanned downtime. Oil: Most greases produced today are made of mineral oil. This offers high performance for most industrial machines. However, for extreme temperatures, a synthetic oil-based grease will offer better stability because it is much more resistant to heat.

Across various industries, there is a whole range of different lubricants, oils and greases that help to keep the various machines, engines, vehicles and more running at peak performance. Having access to the right lubricants is important to these businesses to keep everything running smoothly. General-purpose grease (also known as GP grease) is formulated to serve various purposes, including most industrial and domestic uses. It consists of base oil with a medium viscosity index. It provides decent water and dirt protection but isn’t very long-lasting. GreaseShield® Low Level units incorporate touchless sensing methods (n the process of patents being applied for), to detect FOGs by innovative means and in conjunction with a PLC controller transfers the FOGs to the main GreaseShield® unit for safe removal. Grease is prevented from solidifying before safe removal.As you can see, industrial grease is an essential product to keep your machinery running smoothly. It is a different kind of lubricant than oil, but it should be used with care. Aluminium greases are frequently used in food production machinery due to their high temperature tolerance and moisture resistance. Polyurea grease - Recommended for long-life applications, polyurea grease features an excellent water resistance, a dropping point of 460°F as well as corrosion prevention, durability, and versatility. It considered integral to the lubrication of steel plants and electric motors. Silicone (also known as dielectric grease) is designed to be used with sensitive components, such as electronics, and protects against galvanic corrosion. E.R. Booser, M.M.

Motorized lubricators, because they are more complex and therefore more costly, are usually sold as refillable units. Generally, the battery is changed at the time of refill.

What are greases made from?

Section 7 - The handling and storage section provides guidance on the safe handling practices and conditions for safe storage of chemicals, including incompatibilities. While there’s a lot to choose from, the most common types of specialty greases are anti-seize grease, dielectric grease (also known as silicone grease), assembly grease, chassis grease, etc. With 36% of premature bearing failures attribute to improper lubrication, it is essential to ensure that components receive the correct quantity of lubrication at the right interval to give the component the best chance of achieving a full service life. Preferential adsorption of polar constituent on metal surface to provide protective film or neutralize corrosive acids Figure 1 assumes the base oils’ viscosity index. To be more precise, one would need to use a chart that identifies the viscosity at operating temperature, then determine the viscosity grade from a viscosity/temperature chart for a given lubricant.
