Kiln Lubricant Provides Exceptional Protection for Open Gears

Synthetic Oil Protects Slow-Moving, Straight-Cut Open Gears.

Pyroshield Syn Kiln Lubricant (9020) is a heavy-duty synthetic fluid designed to provide exceptional protection for high-load, heavy-shock, high-heat applications, particularly large shrouded and unshrouded open gears servicing kilns and ball mills in the mining, mineral processing and cement industries. It is recommended for slow-moving, straight-cut gear sets where flaking occurs using a conventional open gear lubricant.

Two Minute Tips
  • Motor Testing

Prevent Motor Failure by Keeping Your Motors Clean

One of the easiest ways to prevent premature electric motor failure is to keep your motors clean and free of foreign contaminates. Many electric motors are fan cooled. When contaminates start to build up around the motor, air flow becomes restricted and reduces the ability for the fan to cool the motor which dramatically reduces the life the of winding’s insulation due to the increase in heat.
