Dry lubricant boosts transmission chain
life
Kluberplus SK11-299 is a non-soiling, non-tacky lubricant providing excellent adhesion to chain parts, corrosion protection, water resistance and effective wear protection.
Most plants use chains in one form or another for drive transmission, lifting, controlling or conveying One simple application is the lubrication of roller chain

Lubricant change cuts energy bill by 20%
After converting over to the NSF H1 registered Klubersynth UH1 6-220 the brewery now meets its food grade compliance policy on the bottling and canning lines.
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 relubricate anyway.
As a result, many people do not 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 has developed a wax-based dry lubricant for the initial and ongoing lubrication of chains.
Kluberplus SK11-299 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 0.5in-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.
As Kluberplus SK11-299 is an initial lubricant, Kluber can assist with the process which means that end users can fit ready-lubricated chains and still avoid additional lubrication tasks but extend chain life to save money and downtime. Request a free brochure from Kluber Lubrication GB ...
