Up to 30 percent less drive force required - thanks to optimum chain lubrication!
Three tasks combined into one!
The production factor op capital and boosting your productivity: for companies of today and tomorrow, maintenance is a decisive driving force for the highly efficient use of machinery and industrial equipment. One of the most important and demanding tasks here is the optimal maintenance and care of drive, transport and load chains.
If a chain is to be maintained optimally, it has to be throughly cleaned before each lubrication.
In practice, however, this is hardly possible because - at least in most cases - the chain has to be removed and possibly entire production processes can be interrupted.
In detail: the challenges for optimal lubrication!
The most important requirement for optimum lubrication is an absolutely clean chain. This is the only way that adhesion, i.e. adherence of the lubricant to the chain surface, can take place. And only in this way can optimum coating of the chain be achieved. Due to the problem of minimal spaces between the moving parts, a lubricant with extreme penetration is therefore required. In fact, it needs to reach all the chain joints, inner bearings, drive bushings as well as spindles in order to provide optimum lubrication and protection. In addition, the different and sometimes difficult operating and ambient conditions require a lubricant that meets these high requirements under operating conditions.
The facts in practice
Working influences and ambient conditions The greatest risk to safe and effective chain lubrication is the often varying and difficult ambient influences. For example, external influences such as dirt and particulates cause dust particles to adhere to and become embedded in the chain. The resulting abrasive effect causes increased wear. A wet, damp and chemically aggressive environment also leads to corrosion in the inner bearings and drive bushings of the chain - which are thus exposed to increased friction. Resinification by mineral oil as well as coking and decomposition particles due to high temperatures have an extremely negative effect on lubrication. In addition, very high surface pressures accelerate wear enormously.
Initial lubrication and re-lubrication Basically, a distinction is made between the initial lubrication (for new drive components) and re-lubrication. Re-lubrication must be compatible with the initial lubrication. No chemical reactions (e.g. resinification or acid formation) and no separating layer must form which would prevent penetration into the inner bearings of the chain during re-lubrication.
The criteria for the optimum lubricant!
What criteria are now decisive for optimum lubrication? What must a lubricant be able to do in order to achieve optimum chain lubrication?
1. The lubricant must be able to clean the chain of dirt, deposits and resinification as well as to loosen and flush particles from surfaces which are subject to friction.
2. The optimum lubricant must be able to penetrate into the narrowest spaces, such as chain inner bearings, chain drive bushings and spindles, in order to provide not only surface lubrication but also to achieve comprehensive lubrication of the chain.
3. It must also be able to build up good surface adhesion without itself sticking - so as not to bind dust or dirt.
4. An optimum lubricant must be able to build up a durable lubricating film and withstand high mechanical loads.
The optimal lubricant solution!
With its "SIS 105" synthetic inner bearing lubrication 105 product innotech offers a highly effective solution. It guarantees safe penetration at the critical points of the chain, long-lasting lubrication and a dry surface. And all this in just one operation! More details here.
How does it work? The combination of various organic solvents based on hydrocarbons - in combination with lubricating substances - ensures that old deposits such as resin build-up are dissolved and flushed out. At the same time a non-greasy, wear-resistant lubricating film is built up uniformly across all the surfaces of the chain parts - especially in the inner bearings - as a result of the slow evaporation of the solvents.
The main advantages of the "SIS 105" innotech synthetic inner-bearing lubrication product solution at a glance:
• Greater running smoothness - longer running times - extended service life
• Optimum corrosion protection
• Cleaning, lubrication and protection in one - during ongoing operation
• Up to 30 percent reduction in drive forces possible!
Innovative technology gives you a head start!
Due to the innofluid® additive technology, thermoplastic flow deformation takes place on the contact surfaces under pressure and temperature conditions. With a minimum of wear the surface irregularities are turned into a new, evenly smoothed and hardened surface. At the same time additives protect against corrosion. Furthermore, these are capable of displacing moisture.
The proof: comparative tests with other chain lubricants - on penetration capacity, lubricating properties and corrosion protection - demonstrate the unique advantages of this patented technology!
30 % energy savings speak for themselves. So as a responsible user, why not put this to the test? For more information about the tricomplex-Technology® together with the innofluid® additive, please visit here. Simply get in touch with us!
