HOTEMP PLUS is suitable for all oil-lubricated stenter chains such as
- roller chains,
- chains or clips with ball bearings in cases of combined
- lubrication of bearings, chain joints and slide ways, and
- slide chains with lubrication of slide rails, chain joints and bolts
in equalizing frames, single-layer stenters, tier stenters, festoon driers and steamers as well as installations.
HOTEMP PLUS can be applied with all common pumps, spraying or metering equipment. Lubrication intervals and quantities vary with chain design, type of lubrication and operating conditions. At temperatures above 180 °C, you need approx. 1.5 to 2 ml of oil per meter of chain and operating shift.
Chain rails should be lubricated continuously or once a day at a maximum, depending on length of travel and design. Weekly relubrication is often sufficient for chain pins with an oil depot.
However, it is better to apply an exact dosage of oil every day than relubricate too late or over-lubricate, especially at high chain speeds.
Chains with a spray lubrication system should be lubricated very sparingly once per shift or day to keep them just oil-moist.
