Molygraph Flurotemp 512 provides long-lasting performance in the Automotive Industry by saving cost and boost efficiency by 15%.

An automotive garage equipment manufacturer was encountering serious issues lubricating the conveyors in their paint booth oven. The bearings used in high-temperature conveyors are subject to high continuous temperatures of over 160 degrees Celsius. The existing grease could not withstand these temperatures and was seen running out of the bearings, leading to increased republication intervals and bearing failures. The equipment manufacturer reached out to Molygraph for a solution. Flurotemp 512, a PTFE-PFPE-based grease was recommended by Molygraph, which helped the customer find the ideal solution to the problem at hand.

Lubrication of high-temperature conveyor bearings provides a unique challenge. The high operating temperatures do not allow conventional greases to function optimally and lead to high degrees of maintenance downtime and bearing failures. The customer was facing the following critical issues

• The grease was either melting and running out of the bearings or
  was getting hard and not allowing the bearing to operate.
  
• Frequent maintenance downtime.

A HIGH-PERFORMANCE HIGH-TEMPERATURE CHEMICAL RESISTANT FLUORINATED GREASE.

Molygraph recommended Flurotemp 512 for lubricating the customer’s conveyor chain bearings. The unique chemistry consists of a fluorinated thickener and base oil that have been designed to run at continuously extremely high temperatures. Flurotemp 512 has the following key benefits.

• Non oxidizing & chemical resistant.
  
• Low carbonization at high temperatures.
  
• Low evaporation rate.
  
• Reducing maintenance costs (high uptime and no relube).
  
• Increased output & profitability (continuous running).
