Dry lubricants do not drip

Kluber Lubrication GB product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team

Most plants have chain in one form or another for drive transmission, lifting, controlling or conveying, and would welcome a non-drip lubricant.
Most plants have chain in one form or another for drive transmission, lifting, controlling or conveying.
One simple application is the lubrication of roller chain.
In many applications the last thing the process needs is a wet lubricant.
It has to be purchased, stocked, transported and applied at a certain frequency; it has to disposed of when used and, here's the rub, it cannot contaminate the product being manufactured nor attract airborne contaminants that help form a potential grinding paste-cum-sealant of dirt and used lubricant on chain and sprockets rendering the chain impossible to re-lubricate anyway.
Answer ? people don't lubricate the chain and accept the short life and replacement costs (including downtime) as the norm.
As a further addition to a range of dry lubrication solutions Kluber Lubrication introduces a wax-based dry lubricant for the initial and on-going lubrication of chain.
Kluberplus SK 11 - 299 is a non-soiling, non-tacky lubricant providing excellent adhesion to chain parts, corrosion protection, water resistance and effective wear protection.
Evidence shows extended chain life over 300 % (life test on 1/2in pitch roller chain).
It is particularly suitable for chains exposed to dust, dirt, lint or water and it is now possible to reliably lubricate chains which, due to the operating conditions, could not be lubricated in the past.
Advantages at a glance: * Non-soiling, non-tacky, non-odorous alternative to fluid lubricants.
* Low friction coefficient.
* Wear resistance.
* Resistance to water and mild aqueous solutions.
* No further re-lubrication needed.
* Good internal sealing to prevent contaminant ingress.
As Kluberplus SK 11 - 299 is an initial lubricant, Kluber can assist with the process which means that end users fit ready-lubricated chains and still do no additional lubrication tasks but extend chain life to save money and downtime.
