Biodegradable Sugar Mill Lubricant. What makes it suitable for a sweet but aggressive environment?

摘要

Sugar mill journal bearings, commonly referred to as Top Roll Bearings, Receiving Roll Bearings and Discharge Roll Bearings, are components operated in hostile environments, under extreme loads, in the presence of high volumes of aggressive water, steam, vegetable fibers, solid contaminants, etc. Most conventional mill lubricants showed limitations in maintaining a continuous film of lubricant between the wear components of these bearings. A vegetable oil based product has been developed to address this situation. A tenacious continuous lubricating/sealing film has been obtained leading to lower operating temperatures, reduced lubricant consumption and cleaner waste water.
