| SPECIAL SF OPEN
GEAR LUBRICANT is designed to replace the traditional heavy products
distilled from crude oil (the so called asphaltics or residuals) that are
used to lubricate open gears. Those asphalt base compounds had to be thinned
with solvent so they could be sprayed on the gears. Then, of course, the
solvent evaporated - - - leaving behind the sticky compound used to lubricate
the gears. |
SPECIAL
SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANTIs
Solvent Free
Texas Refinery Corp. is leading the
way with SPECIAL SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT because
it contains no dilutant. In fact the SF in this product's name means solvent
free. As we all are aware some solvents used in older technology were damaging
to our atmosphere and in some cases were hazardous to the workers in the
immediate area.
SPECIAL
SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANTIs Often
Used In Spray Type Application
This open gear lubricant is generally
used in areas where large open gears are in service. Those industries would
include, but not be limited to, the following: coal fire power generation;
mining-iron, copper and other minerals; ceramics; cement; sugar beet processing;
paint; glass and sand production. Most automatic lubrication systems are
designed to spray close to or on the bull gear and then the product is
transferred from tooth to tooth as the mill is in operation. Asphaltic
materials plug lines and the lubricant does not get to the bull gear and
pinion as planned. With Texas Refinery Corp.'s
SPECIAL
SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT the spray system functions as designed -
- - eliminating gear wear by providing positive cushioning lubricant at
all times.
SPECIAL
SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANTHelps
Reduce Housekeeping Cost
Most of the gear systems that will use
SPECIAL
SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT
use a shroud to cover the gears. Asphaltic
compounds sling off onto the shroud creating a real housekeeping nightmare.
Texas Refinery Corp.'s
SPECIAL SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT
will
not accumulate on interior surfaces of open gear shrouds. This eliminates
the need for periodic cleanup which causes production interruptions. Also
eliminated is the accumulation of asphaltic materials in the roots of the
teeth that interfere with the meshing teeth. This interference sometimes
causes misalignment and premature wear. This can be eliminated with the
use of SPECIAL SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT.
SPECIAL
SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANTProvides
EP Protection
The great thing about Texas Refinery
Corp.'s SPECIAL SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT is
its ability to provide sufficient film thickness to separate pressure flanks
under normal loads; plus it is fortified to resist rupture of this film
under shock loads. The product will readily flush away contaminants from
the pressure flanks yet resist excessive sling off.
SPECIAL
SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT has the consistency of an NLGI #00 grease
but the use of a gel thickener and a high viscosity base oil produces a
gel-like appearance.
SPECIAL
SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT Helps
Provide Reduced Maintenance/Increased
Reliability
Spray systems have reduced maintenance
and increased reliability when used with SPECIAL
SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT. This product has excellent pumpability characteristics
and therefore the pumps, metering devices and lines are subject to less
stress. There is also less nozzle fouling with this product. Gears are
properly lubricated and as a result customers can cut back on the amount
of lubricant needed. Lubrication is much more efficient and as a result,
decreases of the pinion operating temperature of up to 50°F. are possible
with the use of SPECIAL SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT.
RECOMMENDATION: For
best results when switching to Texas Refinery Corp.'s SPECIAL
SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT, clean the gears prior to application. At
temperatures below 45°F. (7°C.), a drum heater is required to obtain
optimum sprayability when using an automatic spray lubrication system.
As with any lubricant, do not use at high temperatures. We do not recommend
heating above 130°F.
SPECIAL
SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT Is
Economical And Reduces Consumption
The SPECIAL SF
OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT does not wash off the existing lubricant film
if over-applied or applied too frequently. Considerable savings result.
In addition, wear can be reduced significantly because of improved lubrication.
SPECIAL
SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT does not mask over the surfaces of the pinion
or gear. It produces a semi-transparent film on the gearing. This "clarity"
makes visual inspection more meaningful when using a strobe light and the
equipment is in operation. If it is necessary to make tape pull impressions
of the gearing, SPECIAL SF OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT is
easier to remove than the old asphaltic type products |
