Lubrication amid heat, impact and heavy mechanical loads

Foundries and forging operations use furnaces, presses, conveyors, fans, handling systems and heavy-duty rotating equipment in demanding production environments. Bearings and mechanical assemblies may be exposed to radiant heat, shock loads, scale, dust and repeated operating cycles. Grease must be suited to the temperatures and loads encountered at each lubrication point, while also meeting the equipment manufacturer’s requirements. A formulation that cannot withstand the actual conditions may deteriorate or fail to protect surfaces adequately, contributing to component wear and unplanned stoppages. Application-specific lubrication helps protect critical machinery and supports dependable operation in high-intensity manufacturing environments.
