Pyroshield

PYROSHIELD® - the choice for open gears.

These products offer excellent non-leaded lubricity for heavy-duty sliding, open gear & shock loaded applications.

What is PYROSHIELD®?

• It is an advanced lubricant technology that provides unique synthetic lubricants for shrouded open gears & other open gears of similar applications. PYROSHIELD® was developed specifically to meet the requirements for the lubrication of these large open gears.
• Lubrication Engineers' PYROSHIELD® line provides superior lubrication & resolves the many concerns that confront the operators of large open gear driven equipment.
• PYROSHIELD® products contain Lubrication Engineers' exclusive wear-reducing additive ALMASOL®
• PYROSHIELD® products are non-asphaltic & are environmentally safe

What does PYROSHIELD® do?

There are numerous benefits from using Lubrication Engineers' PYROSHIELD Open Gear lubricants:

• Improved Gear Protection
• Reduced Electrical Consumption
• Improved cleanliness
• Elimination of hazardous waste disposal costs
• Lower lubrication costs
• Unique conversion process

How does PYROSHIELD® perform?

Comparative product testing by Lubrication Engineers has proven that Lubrication Engineers' PYROSHIELD outperforms competitive products in the marketplace:

• Load Wear Index (LWI) - This test is a measure of a lubricant's ability to carry a load & minimize wear. The higher the value, the better the job the lubricant has done in preventing wear. PYROSHIELD® outperformed eleven competitor products with a LWI of over 130 versus only 90 for the nearest competitor.
• Lubrication Engineers Modified Timken Test - In a test against four other products PYROSHIELD's load-carrying capacity was proved to outperfom the competition.
• Lubricant Consumption - PYROSHIELD® products are documented to help reduce lubricant consumption by up to 80%.
• Gear Temperature Reduction - Lubrication Engineers' PYROSHIELD® reduces gear temperatures by 5-15%.
• Excellent EP Characteristics - PYROSHIELD® products have Timken OK Loads of up to 90lbs versus only 30lbs in many commercial grade asphaltic gear compounds
• No residual hazardous materials to dispose of - PYROSHIELD® does not contain any hazardous materials and can be disposed of like any other non-hazardous petroleum oil.
• Reduced electrical consumption - Due to the superior lubricating qualities of Lubrication Engineers' PYROSHIELD many customers experience up to a 2 - 2.5% reduction in electrical costs. Reduced friction resulting from superior lubrication can be reflected in reduced energy consumption.
