Open Gear EP Grease

Open Gear EP Grease

Specially designed grease for the lubrication of all types of open or exposed gearing in industrial, mining and construction applications FEATURES Advanced overbased complex calcium sulfonate gelling chemistry delivers exceptional load carrying performance Superior mechanical stability and shear resistance Inherently high dropping point of 580^oF (300^oC) Excellent water and corrosion resistance Unmatched adhesion to metal surfaces CUSTOMER BENEFITS Unmatched protection for exposed gearing Won't build up between gear teeth like asphaltic greases Eliminates need for periodic cleaning Lubricates over a wide temperature range Totally unaffected by water, dust, dirt or grit Extends greasing intervals Reduces consumption PRIMARY MARKET Asphalt/cement plants Coal-fired power plants (ball mills) Mining Construction Logging Sawmills PRIMARY APPLICATIONS Rotary kiln ring gears Crane and shovel swing gears Draglines Logging donkeys Chain and sprocket drives Wind gears Conveyor equipment Winch trucks Rock crushers Hoists

SWEPCO 164 Open Gear Extreme Pressure Grease has been specifically formulated to meet the unique challenges of lubricating a wide range of exposed gears, including swing gears on cranes, ring gears on rotary kilns, gearing on draglines and in quarries, foundries and many other operations.

Superior protection for heavily loaded exposed gearing

Advanced overbased complex calcium sulfonate gelling chemistry deliverse exceptional load carrying characteristics. This state-of-the-art gelling system also yields superior mechanical stability, an inherently high dropping point, reduced wear and excellent resistance to water and corrosion.

Unsurpassed EP performance

Open gearing, particularly large applications such as ring gears on rotary kilns and finishing mills, swing gears on cranes and jacking gears, need a lubricant that can withstand extreme loads. With a timken OK load rating of 60 pounds and outstanding 14-Ball weld load ratings, SWEPCO 164 provides the extra protection these types of gears require.

Superior corrosion protection

Superior corrosion protection and resistance to water wash out makes it suitable for marine applications and other applications that present high exposure to water.

Reduced Consumption

Many lubricants "sling off" gear teeth and other parts of operating equipment. This is especially true when equipment operates at high speed. SWEPCO 164 clings tenaciously to metal, creasing the level of protection and reducing consumption. Consumption is also reduced by an extraordinarily high dropping point of greater than 580^oF  (300^oC) that prevents thinning and bleeding. And inherently high mechanical stability keeps SWEPCO 164" in grade longer. These properties typically result in a significant reduction in grease consumption.

Ease of applications: less cleanup

SWEPCO 164 is far superior to conventional asphaltic materials which are difficult to handle in cold temperatures, create problems with "build-up" on gears and require frequent cleaning of gears to prevent pressure build-up or uneven tooth wear. SWEPCO 164 does not build up or pack between gear teeth. It will not melt or run. Nor does it become soluble in water, so it says on gear teeth  longer, provides more protection from rust and extends lubrication intervals.

SWEPCO 164 saves money

Due to superior performance, users of SWEPCO 164 enjoy superior protection, longer greasing intervals, longer equipment life, fewer repair bills, and more uptime.

Recommended for a wide range of applications

SWEPCO 164's outstanding performances makes it suitable for use in applications in steel mills, lumber mills, stevedoring, sand  and gravel companies, offshore platforms and marine work ships, contractors,loggers, cement plants, excavating contractors, mines, farmers, industrial plants and a wide range of other heavy-duty applications.

Recommended for rotary kiln ring gears, crane and shovel swing gears, draglines, chain and sprocket drives, wind gears, conveyer equipment, winch trucks, rock crushers, hoists, logging donkeys, saw mill machinery and any other types of open or outside gearing found in construction equipment and plant machinery. Also suitable as a filth wheel lubricant.
