Allround Lubricant

High performance greases

Even in the present “High-tech age” problems due to friction and wear are a matter of course in a lot of in- dustrial sectors. Extensive repairs, longer downtimes, shorter maintenance intervals and lower serviceable lives of plant and equipment are the consequence and cause enormous costs each year. It is therefore important to already fulfil the require- ments for long-term operational dependability of plant and equipment in the development and construction phase.During the technical design of movable plant and equip-ment elements, the lubricant should be viewed as being a calculable functional element and must be included within the terms of reference under the aspects of friction and wear.A plant operator needs to guarantee a disturbance-free and damage-free operation. The working life of lubri- cated machine parts depends to a decisive extent upon the selection and the use of the right lubricant. Modern high performance lubricants, which meet the constantly increasing demands placed on plant and equipment, are thus increasingly gaining in signifi- cance.The main demand placed upon such high performance lubricants is the maximum power transmission with minimal friction and minimal wear. Moreover, additional properties such as water resistance, chemicals’ resistance, plastics compatibility or protec- tion against corrosion must be observed.WEICON Allround Lubricant high performance greases are specially developed to meet these high demands. They provide sustained protection against friction and wear and thus enable: • extremely long re-greasing intervals • increased functional dependability and the retention of the value of the machine and production plants. • reduction of the maintenance and repair work • improved economic efficiency 2
