Introduction

Resistance to high temperatures, mini-

mal residue formation, long relubrica-
tion intervals – these are the demand-
ing requirements of the glass industry,
and they are fully met by lubricants
from Klüber. Klüber offers a range of
special lubricants that are optimally
suited to your specific applications.
They comprise oils, greases, pastes
and bonded coatings.

Along with our products, we offer

comprehensive service:

❑ Regular visits and consulting

❑ Customised lubricant selection
❑ Chemical analyses
❑ Inspection of bearings and gears
❑ Training on lubricants and
lubrication technology
❑ Cost-benefit analyses
❑ Highly qualified specialists
❑ Availability worldwide

In addition to our know-how in the

development of lubricants, we offer
our customers tests and analyses,
which are performed at our inhouse
mechano-dynamic testing department.

* Service temperatures are guide values which depend on the lubricant’s composition, the
intended use and the application method. Lubricants change their consistency, apparent
dynamic viscosity or viscosity depending on the mechano-dynamical loads, time, pressure
and temperature. These changes in product characteristics may affect the function of a
component. 7

Klüberpaste HEL 46-450

For the lubrication of sliding areas

and to ensure proper positioning, we
recommend our high-temperature
Klüberpaste HEL 46-450.

Neck ring mechanism

and mould holder
Klübersynth HM 2-220

Because of the difficult access to these components,

centralised lubrication is in many cases not possible.
Consequently, the lubricating nipples need to be oiled
manually by means of a lubricating gun at regular
intervals.

Since thermal loads are very high, we recommend the use

of Klübersynth HM 2-220.

 Applications
for special lubricants in the environment of IS machines

Bearings in conveyor and cross belts

and the transfer corner
Klübertemp HM 83-402

Because of the extreme levels of radiated heat from hot glass

containers, deep groove ball bearings lubricated by a lithium
simple grease are very liable to failure. We recommend lubrica-
tion of bearings in conveyor and cross belts by our fully syn-
thetic high-temperature grease Klübertemp HM 83-402, which
can be used at operating temperatures up to 250°C*.

Conveyor belt chain

SYNTHESCO

Some glass factories use inverted-tooth chains, which

suffer extraordinary wear when not lubricated. To min-
imise friction between the chain links, we recommend
lubrication of the chain by our high-temperature oil
SYNTHESCO.

Bearings in air circulators and exhaust air fans of annealing furnaces

PETAMO GHY 133 N or STABURAGS N 12 MF

These bearings are subjected to high thermal stress and wear. We therefore recommend relubrication
by means of our high-temperature lubricating grease for rolling bearings PETAMO GHY 133 N or by
STABURAGS N 12 MF, which contains solid lubricants ensuring added reliability through emergency
running properties at elevated operating temperatures.
