Ultramill Grease

Overview

Lubrication of continuous casters in steel mills is challenging due to continuous high temperatures and harsh conditions. A leading steel mill manufacturer in India reached out to Molygraph to provide them with a superior solution to their existing grease, which was displaying high levels of oxidation with poor performance. Molygraph recommended Ultramill PU Premium, a proprietary Polyurea chemistry technology that allowed for high permanence lubrication of their continuous casters.

Challenge

Due to extreme temperatures in the continuous caster application, conventional greases are prone to failure. The steel mill manufacturer was using a lithium-based EP grease that was melting out of the bearings, which resulted in increased pumping of the grease to keep temperatures in check. The customer faced the following key challenges.

    • Existing grease was failing at continuously high temperatures.
    • Excess grease needed to be pumped to prevent bearing failure.

Solution

Ultramill Grease PU Premium
Heavy Duty Long life Organic Thickened High-Temperature Grease

Ultramill PU Premium is a high-performance polyurea grease manufactured using a proprietary manufacturing process. The inherent properties of polyurea grease consist of high oxidation stability, water resistance, and excellent corrosion protection. Additionally in continuous casters. Polyurea burns cleanly, thus residue formation is minimized.

Benefit

    • Excellent lubricant for bearings & mechanisms exposed to high temperature.
    • superior anti-wear properties.
    • Excellent water resistance property
    • Protects against rust and corrosion
    • Very good flow characteristics in a wide temperature range.

Product Specifications:
