Solid Bar Lubricants
Maximise equipment uptime with our high-performance Solid Bar Lubricants, engineered for demanding environments
Maximise equipment uptime with our high-performance Solid Bar Lubricants, built for tough, high-load, high-temperature conditions across heavy industry, power generation, construction, marine, and railways. They reduce wear, prevent metal contact, and extend life in equipment like rotary kilns, cranes, ship propulsion systems, ball mills, and railcar parts.
Filler bars and refractory bricks are vital to kiln life. Proper lubrication lets the riding ring float during thermal expansion, preventing excessive wear that can cause ovality, refractory loss, and misalignment. Our premium Solid Bar Lubricants, with extreme pressure additives, protect these parts by reducing friction and wear—even in the harshest conditions.
Key benefits include for Solid Bar Lubricants include:
Lengthens equipment life and reduces unscheduled maintenance and downtime by:
- Preventing steel-on-steel contact
- Extending life of filler bars
- Reducing scoring of kiln tires, wear pads and stop blocks
- Minimizing potential for shell ovality
- Lengthening refractory life
- Filling microscopic imperfections in contact surfaces
- Does not auto-ignite at temperatures less than 538°C (1,000°F), which protects your kiln against fire and minimizes personnel expose to a hostile environment
- Is non-corrosive and non-hazardous
Look for products that contain Almasol®
Almasol®, LE’s propriety solid wear-reducing additive, is able to withstand extremely heavy loads, chemical attack and temperatures up to 1,900°F (1,038°C). It is attracted to metal surfaces, forming a microscopic layer but not building on itself or affecting clearances. Further, Almasol minimizes metal-to-metal contact and the resulting friction, heat and wear.
How to Apply Easy Bar with Almasol
Bars can be applied by hand or by using the Easy Bar Lubricator insertion tool.
Before inserting an Easy Bar, the kiln should be at an operating temperature of at least 52°C (125°F). Once the kiln is at operating temperature, manually place one bar every quarter revolution between filler bars or pads at the 5 or 7 o’clock positions. Application should be made on the “uphill” side flush with the tire or riding ring for proper lubrication.
