Open Gear

Large open gears and tyres on ball mills, rotary kilns, driers and swing gears on large excavators and shovels require regular and reliable lubrication due to heavy loads, environmental and product contamination and the effects of weather i.e. rain wash off etc.

Lubrication Engineers can design and supply spray systems for these unique applications to apply lubricant onto the gears or tyres in the right spot and at the right time interval.

Drying kiln at fertilizer manufacturer using IHI SN-O spray valves fed by IHI BM-3 distributor to lubricate the girth gears and tyres.

Spray panel designed by L.E. comprising 4 IHI SN-O spray valves fed by an IHI BL-3 distributor.

This panel is piped up ready for simple installation on a Ball Mill to spray lubricant, at the right distance and angle, onto the open gear set.
