Ship decks and underwater mechanical equipment are always exposed to the harshest marine environment, and these equipment are crucial for ship operation and safety. Maintaining them from corrosion and wear is our top priority, while maintaining low expenses. The cable crane transmission teeth used for ships and ports, as well as the crane slewing teeth, are subjected to extreme stress during operation. These open gears must be well protected in extreme environments during navigation. The marine environment may be suitable for people to vacation, but for equipment components, high humidity, high temperature sea winds, and occasional small droplets and large waves can pose significant challenges to their normal operation. Therefore, lubricants used for open gears must meet extreme operating conditions: lubricants must not drip or be washed away by seawater, otherwise the tooth surface will lose lubrication protection. This can cause wear and corrosion of the gears, ultimately leading to failure.

What provides the most reliable protection for transmission gears and wire ropes? It is a lubricant with good adhesion! It can firmly adhere to the surface of gears and steel wire ropes without easy dripping, providing excellent lubrication and corrosion protection for the tooth surface. This type of lubricant can also extend the relubrication interval and significantly reduce lubricant usage. In practical applications, the appearance of lubricants is also very important. Early open gear lubricants showed a black color due to the presence of graphite, which immediately turned into black stains on the deck and required regular cleaning, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Performance of lubricants with poor adhesion and high temperature resistance:

The following figure shows that in our daily work, we encountered a customer who chose three different types of lubricating grease to lubricate steel wire ropes, open gears, and wheel axle bearings. This increased the variety of lubricating greases used on board. Due to the increasing variety of lubricating greases, it is easy for operators to confuse the corresponding lubricating products, causing unnecessary trouble.

Now we can provide a solution, which is a multifunctional lubricating grease: Kluberplex AG 11-462

Kluberplex AG 11-462: A special lubricant developed by Kluberplex that can fully withstand severe tests under actual operating conditions:

The working temperature range of -10 ° C to 150 ° C, when applied in tropical areas, will not drip from steel wire ropes and gears.

Suitable for lubricating open gears, low-speed rolling bearings, slide and guide rails, steel cables for winches or cranes, as well as components in the marine industry that are similar to those affected by seawater, which can reduce the number of types of lubricating grease on board.

Even if left for a long time, the anti-corrosion and lubrication characteristics will not change.

Light colored lubricants are easy to remove.

- Can extend the relubrication cycle, significantly reducing lubricant consumption and reducing costs.

Significantly improve the reliability of gears, bearings, and steel wire ropes and extend their service life.

Reduce lubricant consumption and operational costs through the excellent adhesion and water resistance of lubricating products.

- Can be used for central lubrication systems.
