• Geometry:Thegeargeometrychangeswiththedifferencesbetweenassemblyandworkingtemperature(speciallyinkilns),withloadorunloadequipment.

• Flank roughness:Withvaluesnear50microns,becauseofthecomplicatedmanufacturingprocessesduetothebigsizeofthegears.

• High and changeable slide speed:(From0toseveralmeters/second).Thisgeneratesconsiderabletemperatureincreasesanddoesnotallowahydrodynamiclubricatingfilmformation.

Kiln and mill geared by pinion (single or double) - girth gear system are widely extended due to the advantages they provide.

From the lubrication point of view there are several factors that allow a good operation under low wear and with long duration.

IMPORTANT FACTORS FOR GEAR LUBRICATION :

LUBRICATION OF GEARS

LUBRICATION OF PINION-GIRTH GEAR FOR KILNS AND MILLS

• High peripheral speed (mills):Itproducescentrifugationeffect.

• Hard working condi-tions:Underimpacts,vibrations,dustyatmos-pheres,etc.

LUBRICATION OF GEARS

Kra�tPolymers & Fluids

0 PROCESS PHILOSOPHY

RUNNING-IN OF MILL AND KILN GEARS

It exists different processes to perform a running-in, or in other words, to increase the carrying area. We will speak about 2 processes: one used by most of the lubricant manufacturers, and the other one used by KRAFFT.

FIRST PROCESS

Thefirstideathatcomesinmindisto cut the crestsoftheroughnessandtheprofileimperfection.Soforthatitisnecessarytoincludeabrasiveparticlesintherunninginlubricants.Ineffectthankstotheseabrasive particles,thecontactareaisincreased,butthisprocesspresentdifferentdisadvantages:

• Iftherunningingreaseispulverized,theabrasiveparticleswillcausewearinallthesprayingsystem:thepump,thedistributorvalves,thenozzles…

• Theparticlesarecausingwearonthegearsthemselves.Sotheuseofthiskindoflubricantmustbeverycarefulandlimitedinthetimeinordertonotshortenthegearlife.

• Iftherunningingreaseisusedfordiplubrication,thesumpmustbecleanedverycarefullybeforeusingtheservicegrease:tobesurethatnoabrasiveparticleisleftinit.

• Thelastpointisthattheabrasiveparticlescausesomemicroscratchesonthesurface;thesecancreatelocalstressconcentrationandconse-quentlymetalfatigue.Thisfatigueeventuallycausespitting.

SECOND PROCESS (used by KRAFFT)

ItsphilosophyhasbeendevelopedinthefortieswhenfirsttheMoS2(disulphideofmolybdenum)hasbeendiscoveredandusedassolidlubricant.Thismaterialismoreresistantthanthesteel,soitwillwithstandathigherloadsthanthesteel.Usingthisproperty,wecanprotectthemetallicsurfacewithalayerofsolidlubricant.Sowiththehighloadofthecontactbetweenmatingflanks,thecrests(andotherprofiledeformationcreatingalsoalocalhighload)willbedeformedplasticallytillthecontactsurfaceisincreasedandthecontactpressuredecreased.

Sowecansaythatthisrunninginprocessworksbyplastic deformationofthemetalprotectedbyasolidlubricantlayerthatavoidsanyseizing.

Soobviouslythisrunningingreasedoesnotcontainanyabrasiveparticlesandnotonlythat:itmustprovidelubricantcharacteristicssuperiortothegreaseusingthem.Forexampleatypicalsolutionforthefirstprocesswouldbetouseanotverypuregraphite,i.e.theimpuritiespresentinitwilldotheabrasivejob.Onthecontrary,ourshastocontainahighlypuregraphiteasintheservicegreaseand,furthermore,tohighlyincreasethesurfaceprotection,weaddeddisulfideofmolybdenumwhichhasasynergiceffectwiththegraphite.

Thankstothe lack of abrasive particle,wehavethenfollowingadvantagesusingthisprocess:

• Iftherunningingreaseispulverized,thereisno forced wearonthespraysystem(pump,distributorvalve,nozzles…).

• Thereisno forced wearonthegearflanks.

• Thisrunningingreasecanbeusedalong timewithoutdamagingthegearbyexcessivewear.

• Ifthegreaseisusedfordiplubrication,firstthereisnoneedtosubstitutequicklythisgreasebytheservicegreaseandsecondthereisno need for sump cleaning.

• Thelastadvantagecomesfromthesurfacefinish:iftheabrasivesparti-clesarecausingmicroscratchesonthesurface,thisplasticdeformationcreatesasimilareffecttoacoldrollmillingofsteelsheet.Theresomekindofsuperficial hardeningthatincreasesthesurfaceloadresistan-ce.Andconsequentlythesurfacewillhaveanincreasedresistancetofatigue,soan increased resistance to appearance of pitting.Sowiththiskindofprocess,wecanexpectthatthegearlifeislonger.

RUNNING-IN OF MILL AND KILN GEARS

Before starting the running in process, we recommend some preliminary inspections:

• Towritedowneveryinformationaboutthegears(numberofpinionandgirthgearteeth,module,diameteretc...).

• To markthreegirthgearteethlocatedmoreorlessat120ºandthreeteethofeachpinion. Theseteethwillbeusedasareferenceforthecorrectalignmentandtheevolutionofthe

settlement.

• Toguaranteethelackofabnormalroughnessanddamagesinthepinionandgirthgearsurfacesbyacareful check.

2 PRIMER PASTE APPLICATION (Pre-Treatment)

In order to create a first solid lubricant layer on the flanks to avoid any contact metal-metal, we recommend to apply a paste with a high content of solid lubricants on the teeth.

PRODUCT Lubekrafft® G Paste

Accordingtoourexperience,empirically,thequantityofpastetobeusedis:

Q(in kgs.) = 0.9 x b x m x N x 10-3

b=wideofthegearteeth(incm.).

m=module(incm).

N=Numberofgirthgearteeth+numberofpinionteeth.
