High Temperature

High Temperature Kiln

Lubrication Engineers have experience in many high temperature applications, from brickwork kiln car bearings using LE1250 non-melt grease to the use of high temperature oils for oven chain lubrication.

The important aspect of high temperature lubrication is to determine if the temperature is caused by environment or operating conditions, for example recently Lubrication Engineers provided a high temperature grease for a bearing running at above 250C. Once the grease was applied the bearing temperature reduced to below 120C as the correct base oil viscosity with our superior additives were able to reduce the friction and heat being developed in this application. In an application where the environment is the contributor such as asphalt plant mixer bearings, the asphalt from the kiln is mixed at temperatures above 250C, this application therefore requires a non-melting grease.

Examples of Lubrication Engineers high temperature lubricants are:

Lubrication Engineers recommend with any high temperature application that you consult one of our trained Lubrication technicians for an informed recommnedation which matches your specific application.
