Dry Film Lubricant Guarantees High Performance in Hostile Environments while Reducing Wear and Noise
Graphite Block dry film lubricant is composed of synthetic, lubricant-quality graphite that is specifically designed to lubricate trunnion rollers, riding rings and insert seals on rotary kilns, calciners, dryers and other industrial equipment requiring dry film lubrication.
The Graphite Block lubricant lowers pressure on the bearing thrust mechanism, while reducing forces on bearing end caps or thrust collars. It substantially reduces wear and noise, resulting in decreased maintenance costs; smoother, quieter operation; and longer lasting equipment.
LE’s Graphite Block is a unique carbon composition manufactured under the tightest internal controls. This makes for a highly consistent graphite block that guarantees optimum lubrication even in the most hostile environments, and prevents premature wear of the graphite.
Industrial baking equipment operates under intense conditions. Inside a proving chamber, temperatures of around 38°C combined with humidity of between 85% and 100% create conditions that can cause an ordinary lubricant to fail within days. Lubrication Engineers (LE) South Africa recently worked with a bakery to more effectively lubricate its
When industrial operations evaluate lubricant costs, the focus often falls on the price per drum, cartridge or container. Yet this purchase price represents only a fraction of what lubrication ultimately costs a business. The far bigger financial impact lies in how well a lubricant protects equipment, how long it lasts in service and the role it plays in
Mining is one of the harshest operating environments for any piece of machinery. Dust, shock loading, moisture and extreme mechanical demands place equipment in mining operations under near-constant stress. However, when machinery fails, lubrication is often one of the last things that is looked at, even though it is often at the root of the problem. Llewellyn Owen, New Business Development Manager (Coastal) at
At an industrial plant, lubrication is not always top of mind – until something breaks. Unfortunately, by then the damage is done. Sam Kekana, Technical Sales Representative at Lubrication Engineers (LE) South Africa, has spent years working with plant maintenance teams across a range of industries, and he has seen where lubrication goes wrong and what it costs companies when
