Overview

Being the heart of the mill, Girth gear’s efficiency and life is very crucial
for the system. Girth gears are subjected to challenging operating
conditions like dust, dirt, extreme temperatures, water ingress and heavy
loads. These conditions demand special lubricants that can achieve
smooth running, can reduce wear and prevent corrosion without getting
fling off or building up in the gear.

Challenges

A sponge iron plant in Eastern India was spending heavily on the greasing of Kiln girth gear but still was facing issues like higher consumption, sludge formation in the teeth, less coverage area along with blocking of nozzles and wear of the gears.

The manufacturer reached out to Molygraph for a solution. Our Product Experts suggested which could perform better than the existing grease in harsh conditions of the mill area.

Solution

SPRAYLUBE 1250

Premium Grade Sprayable Fluid grease for Heavy Duty Open Gears.

    • Resistance to water washout.
    • Excellent adhesion to the gears.
    • Protection against friction, wear & corrosion.
    • Good sprayability and ease of handling & maintenance.

Result

The customer did a successful test run for over two months and has now standardized SPRAY LUBE 1250 - in the plant with an annual savings of over 25% on lubrication cost as well as a drastic reduction in maintenance downtime.
