replacing oil lubrication

The NPE-free Klüber needle oils

reduce the operating temperatures

and protect against wear and corro-

sion of the stitch-forming elements,

thus reducing maintenance costs of

production machines. They are scour-

able and neutral towards elastane

fibres and elastomers. Klüber needle

oils have been tested and approved

by knitting machine manufacturers

worldwide. For instance, they are used

for initial lubrication by Mayer & Cie.,

Terrot, Stoll and Lonati.

Relubrication is usually necessary only

once a week and looping of the thread

is avoided in Jacquard equipment.

LAMORA VARIOGEAROIL EL 2

Synthetic, long life oil and traction

fluid

QUIETSCH-EX SPRAY

for flat bed frames

and

Klüberpaste 46 MR 401

for ball joint bushes

These gear oils ensure optimum

gear operation, thus allowing precise

thread feed and fabric take-up.

LAMORA VARIOGEAROIL EL 2

recommended by Karl Mayer,

Obertshausen

The performance of these lubricants

lasts at least from one warp beam

change to the next, so trouble-free

production is guaranteed due to the

long-lasting effect and good adhesion

to the friction points.

QUIETSCH-EX is also an excellent

corrosion preventive and rust removal

agent.

Klüberpaste 46 MR 401 and

ALTEMP Q NB 50

also are universal lubricating and

assembly pastes preventing fretting

corrosion.

STABURAGS NBU 12 or 30


are special high-pressure and long-term greases for all lubrication points exposed to media.

STABURAGS NBU 30 is a reliable and economical long-term protection, as it provides an internal coating which lasts for one year or more in most cases. Premature expensive replacement of the steamer lining is, consequently, not necessary.

Note: New steamer wall materials may require a different long-term protection agent.

STABURAGS NBU 30 is a special long-term grease with excellent seal-ing properties suitable for low-speed rolling and plain bearings in wet processing machines.

It is applied according to the recom-mendations of the machine manufac-turers.

Grease lubrication for chains sup-ported by ball bearings: BARRIERTA L 55/2 for long-term lubrication or in acc. with manufacturer’s instructions. Long-term lubricated bearings have a different design requiring lower relubrication quantities. Alternative for long-term lubrica-tion: Klübertemp HM 83-402

For oil lubrication: HOTEMP PLUS

Separating effect on condensates and, consequently, less build-up of residues. Efficient lubrication of the chain links, rolling bearings and slide rails under varying operating condi-tions (speed, temperature, stretching tension). Low power consumption with practically wear-free operation

Synthetic sliding surfaces on stenter chains with special lubricant require-ments in terms of evaporation, forma-tion of residues, regenerative capacity, friction and wetting behaviour resulted in the development of Klübersynth CTH 2-260.

This special chain oil meets all require-ments and has a considerably better viscosity-temperature behaviour than previous standard chains oils.

Klüber Lubrication high-temperature chain oils for operating temperatures up to 250 °C are recommended for all oil-lubricated chain systems in stenter frames, drying and setting machines, multi-layer systems, festoon steamers, steamers, condensers and coating installations by leading machine manu-facturers.

Rotary screw compres-sor

High operating temperatures leading to rapid oil

ageing through oxidation, and short oil change

intervals

Cleaning of rotary screw and rotary vane com-pressors

Deposits due to pronounced oxidation especially of

mineral-oil-based products

This will inevitably lead to contamination of the

new oil fill unless the compressor is cleaned during

changeover.

Klüber Summit SH oils

High-performance compressor oils

on a PAO basis

Clean compressor thanks to good

oxidation stability

Oil change intervals at least three

times longer than those of mineral oils

When changing over from mineral oils,

energy cost cuttings by 3 to 5% are

possible.

Klüber Summit SH oils are available in all

common viscosity grades. Compatibility

with seals and paints should be tested.


Concentrated compressor

conditioner

Klüber Summit VARNASOLV

Concentrated conditioner for cleaning

rotary screw and rotary vane compres-

sors, especially when changing over

from mineral-oil-based products to the

synthetic Klüber Summit DSL or SH oil

Klüber Summit VARNASOLV is added

to the oil fill at a concentration of 10 %

and should remain in the compressor

for 40 to 60 operating hours.

Then drain the compressor while the

oil is still hot.

When used at a concentration of

10 %, VARNASOLV is compatible

with all materials resistant to mineral

oil.

The oil ageing condition can be visu-

ally inspected (preferably before oil

change) by means of the

Klüber Summit TAN kit.
