NAT-3055 HD Mill Lube

High viscosity, solvent-free, non-asphaltic open gear lubricant for sugar mills, ball mills, grinding mills, and cement kilns. EP weld 800 kg, FZG >13. Forms an indestructible adhesive film with exceptional resistance to squeeze-out and fling-off.

Overview

NAT-3055 HD Mill Lube is a high viscosity, extreme pressure, solvent-free, non-asphaltic petroleum resin base fluid type open gear lubricant. It has been formulated to lubricate heavily loaded open gears and bushings such as those found in sugar mills, ball mills, pebble mills, grinding mills, bowl mills, and cement kilns and dryers. NAT-3055 HD Mill Lube may be applied using either an automatic lubrication system or a sump-type system where an oiler wheel drags the lubricant and deposits it on the pinion gear. NAT-3055 HD Mill Lube is pumpable using Lincoln and Farval systems down to -1°C (30°F).

NAT-3055 HD Mill Lube is a high-viscosity base fluid combined with a synergistic blend of anti-wear and extreme pressure additives, antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, and demulsifiers which provide:

  • High viscosity providing higher film strength and hydrodynamic lubrication film for separation of gear teeth and contacting metal surfaces in very severely loaded applications.
  • Exceptional anti-wear and extreme pressure properties that provide protection against pitting, spalling, scuffing, and metal deformation under severely loaded conditions.
  • Formation of an almost indestructible adhesive film that provides a "cushioning effect" during boundary lubrication conditions and very slow speeds.
  • Excellent resistance to "squeeze out," fling off, and throw-out due to the product's ability to cling tenaciously to gears, bushings, and rollers.
  • Remains soft and pliable to prevent hardening or build-up in gear tooth roots.
  • Drains freely from gear guards.
  • Excellent resistance to corrosion and protection of bronze and brass components.
  • Excellent resistance to water and washout due to the product's high viscosity and the tenacity of the lubricant film.
