– It’s no secret that the key to attaining high efficiency levels in any heavy industry operation is to properly maintain the equipment used. In that regard, the most critical component of these machines is the ring, pinion and gear system. So, it only makes sense to keep them in premium working condition through effective gear maintenance procedures

When it comes to heavy industries, like mineral mining and oilsands mining, the heavy-duty machinery used has to operate under heavy load. This places the systems driving the machinery under extreme pressure, so it’s little wonder proper gear maintenance is an acute priority. But while many identify lubrication as critical, using an effective gear degreaser has a greater impact on ring, pinion and gear care.

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,

For many industries, the single most significant part of their operations is the grinding of materials into finer forms. After all, the process creates their principal product and feeds a host of client industries with the material they need to complete their own manufacturing processes. With this in mind, the ball mill is an essential item of machinery,

It is a sad fact that in many processing operations across North America and Canada mill maintenance is seen as little more than a costly chore forced upon them when a mechanical breakdown strikes. In truth, regular maintenance is as vital as the grinding mill machine itself, but to get the very most from it, a dedicated maintenance plan is recommended.
