LUBRICATION ON SLEWING BEARING OF LADLE TURRETQUINTOPLEX™ LXS 1002-EP

THE SOLUTION

» Quaker Chemical Corporation (“Quaker”) proposed the steel mill trial QUINTOPLEX™ LXS 1002-EP, while the grease burns, the duration time is very short due to its unique formulation, therefore, reducing the risk of fire hazards

» Before introducing QUINTOPLEX™ LXS 1002-EP into their operations, the mill operators ran a test where they took equal quantities of their current grease and the QUINTOPLEX™ grease, and exposed them to a hot steel bar, the results showed:

- The current grease caught fire and held a flame

- QUINTOPLEX™ LXS 1002-EP burned, but no longer than 4 seconds, and the flame was went out

CHALLENGES » At a Steel mill in China,

hot slag was causing the lubricating grease used in the ladle turret operation to catch on fire. This was leading to 3- 4 fire hazards per year

» To avoid these fire hazards, and interruptions in operation the mill requested a fire-resistant grease

» With confidence from the test results, the mill selected two ladle turrets for a 6 month trial of QUINTOPLEX™ LXS 1002-EP

» There were no fire hazards throughout the 6 month trial period. Due to the favorable results the mill also converted to QUINTOPLEX™ LXS 1002-EP on their slewing and crane bearing as well

LUBRICATION ON SLEWING BEARING OF LADLE TURRETQUINTOPLEX™ LXS 1002-EP

THE PRODUCT QUINTOPLEX™ is a fire-resistant grease formulated with QUINTOLUBRIC® base stocks that have been approved by Factory Mutual as less hazardous.

QUINTOPLEX™ EP greases are designed to replace extreme pressure, mineral oil-based greases in applications where fire hazards exist or in environmentally sensitive bearing applications without compromising overall equipment operation.

» Fire-resistant

» Extreme pressure lubrication protection and protection against shock loading

» Good rust and corrosion protection

» Good water resistance

» Excellent low temperature pumpability

APPLICATION » Ladle turret

» Roll-out table of heating furnace

» Blast furnace

» Shears

» Flame cutting machine
