operating conditions . Offering improvement in High Temperature High Shear ( HTHS ) and inservice viscosity , as well as the potential to safely extend oil drain intervals , PRODURO TO-4 + UHP Petro-Canada says can deliver significant cost savings for equipment operators .
During a more than two-year long customer trial , the fluid demonstrated the ability to meet the requirements of the Caterpillar TO-4 specification , increase equipment life by up to 6 % and deliver significant cost savings based on 25 units for a large Canadian mine operating across two sites .
Bel-Ray Molylube SF 100 Semi-Synthetic Open Gear Lubricant is used in mines around the world
for all point of application temperatures between -25 ° C and + 50 ° C .
To prevent premature wear of the equipment , and to provide customers with the latest open gear lubricant technology , Bel-Ray upgraded these already successful open gear lubricants . Important upgrades include additional grades of open gear lubricant with base oil viscosities to meet the demands of the new design . The viscosity standard for seasonal open gear lubricants used to lubricate external systems such as rotating components , dipper sticks and crowds remained unchanged . New grades of open gear lubricant with higher base oil viscosities have been developed and are being used to lubricate applications inside the machinery room such as hoist pinions and gears .
Load carrying capabilities have increased . The Four Ball EP Test Load Wear Index of Molylube ® Gear Tac Tacky Open Gear Lubricant was increased by more than 30 % to exceed the requirements of all OEM specifications . Increased
load carrying capabilities mean less gear tooth wear and extended component life . The level of molybdenum disulphide has increased , which helps to reinforce the lubricating film , making it more durable . The increase in molybdenum disulphide also reduces the lubricant ’ s coefficient of friction , reducing wear , operating temperature and energy consumption .
