Custom lubricating oils for Siempelkamp lines
A
Kluber Lubrication GB product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Jul 20, 2009
Kluber Lubrication and Siempelkamp are strengthening their collaboration to develop lubrication solutions for Siempelkamp's high-speed Contiroll and the Kusters and Metso Contipress presses.
Higher outputs and decreased operational costs are demands that are prevalent in the wood-based products industry and innovative lines are in high demand.
Generally, the lubricant used plays an important role because it contributes to making new technical solutions possible and optimises line operation.
Two results of the Kluber and Siempelkamp co-operation are Sicolube Speedoil KL 260, a special lubricating oil for the optimal operation of the high-speed Contiroll press and Sicolube Chaincarpet Oil KL 240, a temperature-resistant lubricating oil for the smooth operation of the chain carpets in Kusters and Metso made Contipress lines.
Elevated temperatures on press components resulting from high speeds pose increased stresses on lubricants in modern presses.
Additionally, press operators are requesting a reduced power and oil consumption during ongoing operation.
Next to line-specific technical tasks, both high-performing lubricating oils also meet these market demands.
Siempelkamp Contiroll lines with speeds of more than 1500mm/s can only be operated with synthetic high-temperature lubricating oil in order to counteract friction and wear in a controlled manner.
Sicolube Speedoil KL 260 is based on select synthetic base oils and additives.
The creeping capability and adhesive strength of the oil makes for a high degree of efficiency with its low-friction co-efficient and therewith, a reduced energy demand.
Low evaporation losses reduce oil consumption.
Sicolube Chaincarpet Oil KL 240 accommodates the specific needs of the chain carpet in Contipress press systems.
With a low-friction co-efficient, this special oil also provides for low energy consumption and minimum residue formation.
An additional cleaning effect reduces the amount of maintenance.
