KLÜBER SYNTHETIC OILS: extra power for gear units in extrusion and compounding applications

Extruder gear units have to cope with high torques and axial back-pressure forces - particularly at the final gear stage and at the axial bearings. And: they often have to run uninterruptedly under full load. In a specialist article, Klüber’s experts have now described the consequences involved for a lube oil manufacturer: "The chemistry has to be right", they say, and spotlight the advantages of extra-high-performance synthetic oils over their mineral-based counterparts:

Synthetic specialty lubricants, they explain, provide high thermal and oxidative stability, smaller changes in viscosity, lower friction coefficients, high protection against wear and tear, good load-bearing capabilities and low residue formation. The multiplicity of synthetic base oils and a fund of in-depth expertise in regard to chemical additives enable synthetic oils to be developed with technical advantages for specialized applications.

"For use in extruder gears, oils of this kind possess definite advantages", concur the experts. Reduced wear and tear, plus improved efficiency, for example, have meant longer intervals between oil changes, and reduced outlay on care and maintenance.
