Industrial gear oil additives

The importance of gear lubrication 

There are many technical and performance demands placed on lubricants for gears and it is critical that the correct oil is selected for use in the gear system for maximum operating efficiency and reliability.

Properties inherent to the oil such as biodegradability and renewability may be required where there are environmental considerations, moreover incidental food contact approval may be sought for certain applications. 

In gearboxes themselves the gear lubricant is expected to prevent wear and micro-pitting, perform at high operating temperatures and also on start-up after standstill as well as maintain its integrity and deliver long service life.

We can work with you to help you overcome the technical challenges and deliver solutions for your requirements. We offer both polyalkylene glycol and ester base fluids and are also able to suggest products for use in PAO/ester blends for Flender approval. The table below shows the benefits of each base fluid type.

Flender (Siemens) approved formulations must meet a strict set of performance criteria. Our Priolube 3970 ester is approved for Flender formulations. 

REWITEC™ lubricant concentrates

Whether in engines, gearboxes or bearings - friction and the associated wear is unavoidable in all moving parts. But this wear can be prevented with the application of REWITEC products.

Our patented silicate additive technology increases the service life of heavy duty industrial bearings, gearboxes and engines, reducing downtime and breakdowns. The active particles use the existing lubricant as a carrier and build, through adsorption, a protective and repairing silicon-based coating in gears, bearings and combustion engines in heavy industry applications. We can reduce your operating costs by reducing your need for spare parts and servicing. 

Protect your gearboxes, bearings and combustion engines with REWITEC surface technology.
