Grease reduces maintenance levels
Shell Lubricants develops polyurea grease for heavy industry bearings to reduce maintenance levels and promote blockage-free centralised lubrication, improved bearing life and increased uptime.
Shell Lubricants has developed a polyurea grease, Stamina 0511, for heavy industry bearings to reduce maintenance levels and promote blockage-free centralised lubrication, improved bearing life and increased uptime Unlike soap greases, the polyurea formulation can resist extreme temperatures, so heavy industry operators can improve bearing cleanliness and reduce costs associated with grease deposits

700% increase in coolant life achieved
The machine shop at British Nuclear Fuels in Preston, which manufactures magnesium components for nuclear power stations, introduced a new coolant, Shell's Sitala E5202, with spectacular results
High operating temperatures, such as those found in steel or cement industry bearings, can cause calcium or lithium complex greases to oxidise.
The high temperatures will then effectively cook the grease, causing it to form solid deposits in the bearings.
Stamina 0511 will not separate or harden in high temperatures, reducing the risks of bearing damage caused by the grease losing its lubrication properties during oxidation, and equipment failure resulting from grease deposits clogging the bearings.
The grease's resistance to gel structure break down will help operators reduce lubrication system blockages.
Gel structure destruction can lead to the grease hardening in the equipment's centralised lubrication system, increasing the risk of grease starvation and resulting accelerated bearing wear and equipment failure. Request a free brochure from Shell Lubricants ...
