SKF Chain Oils

Product catalog summary

Overview
SKF provides a range of chain oils designed for industrial and food-grade applications, emphasizing the importance of proper lubrication to extend chain life significantly.

Industrial Chain Oils

LHMT 68: A medium temperature mineral oil offering excellent anti-wear and anti-corrosion properties, suitable for chains operating at medium temperatures. It is silicone-free and provides good protection against steel and copper corrosion.
LHHT 250: A high-temperature synthetic oil designed for chains under high temperatures and loads. It offers excellent load and anti-wear properties, oxidation stability, and is virtually residue-free.

Food Grade Chain Oils

LFFM 100: A general-purpose synthetic oil for food processing and pharmaceutical industries, certified by NSF H1, NSF ISO 21469, Halal, and Kosher. It is suitable for moist and low-temperature environments, providing excellent anti-wear protection and low residue formation.
LFFT 220: A high-temperature synthetic oil for food-grade applications, offering excellent load and anti-wear properties with minimal residue formation. It is suitable for high operating temperatures and long relubrication intervals.

Technical Specifications

LHMT 68: Operates between -20 to +100 °C, with a flash point over 200 °C and a pour point below -30 °C. It has a shelf life of 5 years.
LHHT 250: Suitable for temperatures up to 250 °C, with a flash point over 250 °C and a pour point of ≤-40 °C. It also has a 5-year shelf life.
LFFM 100: Operates between -30 to +130 °C, with a flash point over 200 °C and a pour point of ≤-50 °C. It has a 2-year shelf life.
LFFT 220: Suitable for temperatures up to 250 °C, with a flash point over 250 °C and a pour point of ≤-30 °C. It also has a 2-year shelf life.

SKF Chain oils Industrial chains play an important role for conveyors and power transmissions. Typically, these chains are used to move products or drive equipment that is required for the production process. Proper maintenance is required in order to keep the chains running, reduce costly stops for replacements and enable a reliable production process. “One rule-of-thumb is that proper lubrication can extend chain life by as much as 100 times.” Source: machinerylubrication.com Industrial chain oils SKF Chain oils are specifically designed for industrial chain applications and can be used in...

A chain has many moving parts with continuously changing forces and friction occurring in contact areas between them. Correct lubrication is key to reduce wear and chain elongation, resulting in significantly longer service life and higher reliability. Lubricants for chains are therefore specifically designed to propagate into the contact areas between chain elements to reduce friction and wear. Typical applications ● Conveyor chains ● Drive chains ● Lift chains ● Ovens Food grade chain oils SKF food grade lubricants are specially formulated to comply with requirements of food processing and...
