GEARZ-EP-LT: Velocity Chemicals Launches Newest Mill Gear Cleaner and Degreaser

Surrey, BC – Velocity Chemicals Ltd. has announced the launch of the newest addition to its range of mill gear cleaners and degreasers, GEARZ-EP-LT.

Specially formulated to work at ambient temperatures, GEARZ-EP-LT is a solvent-based cleaner that has been fortified with extreme pressure additives so it can lubricate, degrease and clean mill gears during operation, even under heavy load.

Through its additives, it can also remove the difficult lubricants that contain lithium, asphlatines and molybdenum disulfide, which can build up in the root of the gear teeth over time and negatively impact on the efficiency of mill equipment.

Speaking of the launch, Velocity Chemicals President and CEO Paul Krieser said:

“Keeping gears clean and well lubricated is essential when major mill operations want to achieve the highest levels of efficiency, both in terms of time and cost. But there are other aspects that make clean gears so important, not least alignment checks and warranty inspections.

Velocity Chemicals already provides a wide range of high quality lubricating, degreasing and cleaning products, but GEARZ-EP-LT is the next generation in our selection, designed to clean gears and protect them with the minimum downtime necessary.”
