Grease is the key element to your lubrication system. The choice of grease type is particularly important for the proper function of the system and will have direct impact on its efficiency.
Recommended grease
After analyzing the working conditions of our automatic greasing system, here are the recommendations concerning the choice of the grease to use:
- Oil basis:Viscosity at 40ºC between 100 and 220 CST
- Thickener: lithium or calcium sulfonate type
- Additive: Extreme Pressure
- NLGI grade: 1 and 2 (for colder regions, use EP-1 grease from October to April and EP-2 grease from April to October.)
Non desirable elements:
- A high base oil viscosity will slow down the mobility of the product in cold weather.
- Certain thickener like barium, clays, etc.
- Solid additives like graphite, molly 5% and copper when the concentration exceeds 3 microns.
Mixing different types of grease may damage your system.
That’s why for all other non-listed greases, please confirm with your ALLFETT distributor if it is acceptable or not at the risk of a void warranty if you use non-accepted grease.
