GearArmor PAIL Open Gear Lubricants

In the 1980’s Whitmore pioneered the use of heavy duty pastetype open gear lubricants. We now introduce GearArmor, an open gear lubricant that provides improved protection, with unprecedented economy of use. Preventing wear on expensive components will always be the foremost “cost reduction” and Whitmore’s GearArmor is effective in this regard, even under the highest load. However despite world class protection, GearArmor compares favorably with lower-performing asphaltic lubricants.

GearArmor plates out on metal surfaces to create a dense dark film. The high concentration of solid lubricants (graphite, MoS2 and Whitmore’s SL-Tech) provides a cushion of protection that minimizes metal-to-metal contact. Oil-soluble extreme pressure additives prevent scuffing by forming a slippery coating where asperities come in contact. The combined effect greatly exceeds the protection offering by lubricants that rely primarily on high viscosity. GearArmor promotes surface improvement as asperities are progressively smoothed down. The smoother surfaces minimize metal fatigue by spreading the load over a wider area. Reduced metal fatigue reduces the sub-surface cracking that leads to pitting.

GearArmor is reinforced by the use of polymers. These promote cohesiveness, metal adhesion and water resistance.

GearArmor is free of heavy metals, solvents and hazardous chemicals. It is an excellent replacement for any competitive gear grease as well as traditional open gear lubricants based on asphalt and solvent. Clean-up of the spent lubricant is easy. GearArmor is free of asphalt and does not leave a residue that hardens.

BENEFITS:

• ECONOMY THROUGH WEAR PROTECTION – components last longer.
• ECONOMY OF USE – the cost of use per hour is competitive with lubricants based on asphalt and solvent.
• SAFETY – free of hazardous materials
• CLEAN UP – no hard residue to remove

APPLICATIONS:
Use GearArmor on the Open Gears, House Rollers and Dipper Sticks of Mining Machines. It is also suitable for protection of Drum Lagging and as a Wire Rope dressing. GearArmor is sufficiently robust for use on the Open Gears of large Ball Mills, as well as Kilns, Calciners and Rotary Dryers.
