Long Life lubrication with Molyduval

Enhance Textile Production Efficiency with Advanced Lubrication Solutions

Machines, components and devices in Textile industry operate under extreme conditions. Constantly changing and often high speeds, loads, vibrations, and fluctuating operating environments demand highly resilient equipment. External influences such as high speeds, humidity and extreme temperature variations further challenge machine reliability. With maintenance intervals often extended due to operational constraints, the need for dependable, long-lasting lubrication becomes critical.

The Critical Role of Lubrication

Selecting the appropriate lubricant is a decisive factor—both for initial component lubrication and for ongoing relubrication. The right lubricant ensures reliable, efficient operation, even under the toughest conditions. Modern lubricants are expected to deliver:

• Extended Service Life
• High Speed
• Wide Operational Temperature Range
• Exceptional Load-Bearing Capacity

For operators, this translates into longer relubrication intervals, reduced lubricant consumption, and minimized equipment downtime—ultimately lowering maintenance costs and improving productivity.

Specialty Lubricants: A Small Investment with a Significant Impact

Have you considered how specialty lubricants can directly reduce your operating costs? While the lubricant itself represents a relatively minor expense, its influence on equipment performance, service life, and energy efficiency is substantial.

As a leader in specialty maintanance supplies, lubrication and cleaning, Solano Industries collaborates closely with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of major textile machinery components. Together, we push the boundaries of what’s technically possible—achieving longer service intervals, extended component life, and more reliable operation.

Optimize Gear Performance in Textile Manufacturing with the Right Lubrication

Gears are critical components across all areas of the textile industry, directly impacting productivity, efficiency, and operational reliability. To maximize production output and minimize downtime, selecting the appropriate gear oil for your specific application is essential.

While general guidance can help in many cases, certain demanding applications—such as those requiring exceptionally long service intervals or operating under extreme conditions — call for expert consultation. The specialists at Solano Industries are ready to support you in unlocking the full potential of your equipment through the use of advanced, tailored lubrication solutions.

Key Considerations for Selecting the Right Gear Oil

When choosing the optimal gear oil, several critical factors must be evaluated:

• Performance Requirements
• Operating Speeds
• Environmental Influences
• Special Operating Conditions

Based on these parameters, the following specifications should be carefully determined to ensure optimal gear performance:

• Oil Type – Synthetic, mineral, or specialty formulations tailored to your application
• Wear Protection – Additive packages designed to prevent premature component wear
• Viscosity – Correct viscosity to ensure adequate lubrication film strength under operating loads

Core Functions of High-Quality Gear Oils

An effectively selected gear oil ensures that your systems operate smoothly and efficiently by:

• Absorbing Mechanical Forces
• Reducing Friction and Power Loss
• Minimizing Wear for Extended Component Life
• Dissipating Heat to Prevent Overheating
• Absorbing Wear Particles and Contaminants to Maintain Cleanliness

Key Performance Requirements for Gear Oils

The performance and reliability of gear oils are defined by a combination of high-quality base oils and carefully selected additive packages. To ensure long-term operational efficiency and equipment protection, gear oils must meet stringent requirements as outlined by leading gear manufacturers and international standards.

Essential Gear Oil Performance Criteria

• Operating Temperature Range
  Ensures reliable performance under both low and high-temperature conditions, maintaining optimal lubrication film strength.
• Viscosity
  Critical for forming an adequate lubricating film to reduce friction and wear, while also supporting efficient power transmission.
• Ageing Stability
  Resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation for prolonged oil life and extended service intervals.
• Low-Temperature Fluidity
  Guarantees reliable start-up lubrication and flow characteristics under cold operating conditions.
• Corrosion Protection
  Provides effective protection for both steel and non-ferrous metal components, preventing corrosion-related failures.
• Foam Control
  Minimizes foam formation to ensure uninterrupted lubrication and prevent cavitation damage.
• Elastomer Compatibility
  Ensures the oil does not adversely affect seals and gaskets, maintaining system integrity and preventing leaks.
• Compatibility with Interior Coatings
  Prevents chemical reactions with internal gear coatings, preserving component surfaces and protective layers.
• Advanced Wear Protection
  Offers superior resistance against fretting corrosion, micropitting, and other forms of wear, ensuring extended component life and reliable operation.
