Lubrication Engineers highlights Duolec industrial gear oil for protection of tire manufacturing equipment

Wichita, KS – Lubrication Engineers highlights its Duolec® Industrial Gear Oil (1601-1610, 1302, 1304), an advanced formulation designed to enhance equipment reliability and operational efficiency in the demanding conditions of tire manufacturing facilities. This innovative lubricant is specifically engineered to meet the needs of high-temperature and high-load applications such as mixers, extruders and vulcanization presses, delivering exceptional protection and performance.

Duolec Industrial Gear Oil features Duolec®, a proprietary dual-acting additive that significantly enhances the oil’s load-carrying capacity and provides unparalleled protection against wear. This unique technology forms a molecular barrier on metal surfaces, effectively reducing friction and preventing destructive metal-to-metal contact. As a result, tire manufacturers can expect extended gear life, reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs.

One of the key benefits of Duolec Industrial Gear Oil is its exceptional demulsification properties, enabling rapid separation from water and ensuring optimal lubrication even in challenging, moisture-prone environments. By maintaining lubricant integrity and protecting against rust and corrosion, these features help extend equipment life and ensure consistent performance in demanding tire production processes.

Duolec Industrial Gear Oil offers exceptional protection against sludge formation, significantly reducing maintenance requirements by preventing harmful buildup that can compromise system performance. Its advanced formulation provides superior abrasion resistance, safeguarding gears and bearings against wear caused by solid contaminants and operational stresses, thus maintaining optimal gear efficiency over extended periods.

Additionally, Duolec Industrial Gear Oil boasts thermal and oxidation stability, allowing it to maintain its viscosity and protective properties even under high-temperature conditions. This stability translates to longer oil life, reduced consumption and less frequent oil changes, contributing to improved operational efficiency and reduced environmental impact in tire manufacturing operations. This characteristic is particularly valuable in tire manufacturing plants where exposure to high temperatures is frequent.

In addition to its core features, Duolec Industrial Gear Oil offers excellent foam resistance, ensuring consistent lubrication and protection throughout operation. Its high viscosity index maintains proper viscosity across a wide temperature range, adapting to varying operational conditions. The oil is also compatible with other mineral oil-based lubricants, facilitating easy transition for users switching from other products.

To accommodate diverse application needs, the product is available in multiple ISO viscosity grades ranging from 46 to 1500, allowing users to select the optimal viscosity for their specific requirements in tire production equipment.
