Protect Your Large Open Gears with Transparent, Heavy-Metal-Free Pyroshield Lubricants
Whether you operate a kiln, ball mill, rod mill or other large open gear application, you are familiar with the challenging conditions of daily operation. Lubrication Engineers formulated its Pyroshield® line of heavy-duty synthetic lubricants to keep large open gears operating at maximum efficiency. Pyroshield lubricants can help ensure your expensive equipment lasts longer, while at the same time reducing your maintenance expenses and lowering the amount of lubricant needed.
Pyroshield meets or exceeds manufacturer specifications for open gear applications and has a proven record of performance in coal power generation facilities, cement kilns, and metal and mineral mining operations all over the world. Its ability to protect open gears from extreme pressures, heavy loads and high temperatures is well established.
The Pyroshield formula contains no heavy metals or lead, can be used in automatic lubrication systems (will not block valves or accumulate on nozzles), and has a sufficiently high viscosity index to remove temperature-based fluctuations during use. It does not require equipment to be shut down during conversion.
Pyroshield Contains Proprietary Solid Additive
The Pyroshield formulation includes Almasol®, LE’s proprietary solid film additive that contributes extreme heat stability, anti-wear protection and extreme pressure properties. Almasol will not build up on itself and adversely affect machine operation with close tolerances or create hard deposits that lead to housekeeping issues.
