Grease is the word for brickwork
operator
High-temperature long-term grease increases bearing life seven fold at brickwork operator and increases production capacity by 5%.
Clay blanks destined to become bricks undergo a tough treatment: they are sent to a 1050C kiln, where they remain for several hours This immense heat also has an effect on the bearings in the hot air fans, which can heat up to as much as 220C

Lubricant gains food-grade approval
Good news for all those using Barrierta L 55/2, the high-temperature and long-term lubricant up to 260C.
Recently, a brickwork operator succeeded in increasing its plant's production capacity by using a lubricant, the high-temperature long-term grease Barrierta L 55/2.
With the product that was previously used to lubricate the hot-air fans of the kiln, the bearings would break down after about three months.
Upon switching over to Barrierta L 55/2, the operator could extend the relubrication interval suggested by the bearing manufacturer seven-fold.
However, the biggest benefit was an increase in production capacity by 5%, which is due to the new grease letting hotter air be circulated.
The need for preventive maintenance has also been reduced.
The operator of the plant now enjoys a smooth running brick production line which is rarely affected by standstills due to bearing failures.
This long-term grease can also withstand aggressive chemicals and vapours and is compatible with plastics and elastomers making it suitable for most aggressive industrial, food and pharmaceutical applications. Request a free brochure from Kluber Lubrication GB ...
