STABUTHERM GH 461 and STABUTHERM GH 462 are particularly suitable for applications in smelting works and rolling mills, especially for high-temperature lubrication points supplied through a central lubrication system, e.g.
- drive rollers in continuous casting installations (slabs and billets)
- conveyor rollers in continuous furnaces
Lubricants for such applications must meet extremely high requirements regarding operating temperature, scaling, water and ensuing corrosion.
STABUTHERM GH 461 and STABUTHERM GH 462 are also suitable for other high-temperature applications, such as:
- annealing furnaces, drying stoves
- plain bearings in foundry cranes
- hot rolls in cardboard manufacturing plants
- road tarmacking machines
- shut-off gates in bulk material installations
- cooling beds, conveyor systems
- rotary kilns
- machines and installations in the automotive, beverage, glass
- and ceramics industries
STABUTHERM GH 461 and STABUTHERM GH 462 can be pumped through all common types of lubrication systems. Pipe friction values were determined in order to assess the pumpability in central lubrication systems.
The results obtained at different temperatures are illustrated in diagrams 1 and 2 on pages 3 and 4.
Diagram 1 shows the resistance to pumping per meter of pipe with a diameter of 7 mm; diagram 2 shows the values of a pipe with a diameter of 16 mm. The pipe friction values were measured with a Shell DELIMON rheometer system.
