Alternative lubricant for mill roller brass bearings - Castrol SBX trials
By Flanders, H
The object of this trial was to find an alternative lubricant to the conventional bitumen-based oil used for lubricating mill roller brass bearings. The lubricant had to be cost effective, environmentally acceptable and result in wear not greater than that experienced with conventional lubricants. Over the years, many different oil lubricants have been tested. Lubricant suppliers have developed a number of different grades of bitumen-based oils, as well as clear type lubricants, with varying results. All of these lubricants have an inherent cleaning problem.
