Performance LubricantsCorrugator Pre-HeaterApplication

UK corrugator improves productivity andreliability by switching lubricants.
Corrugator in UK reduces lubrication frequency
and increases bearing service life
A UK manufacturer of corrugated products wanted
to extend the interval between re-lubrication of thesupport bearings in its steam-fed paper pre-heating
cylinders while also decreasing wear and tear on
the bearings.

The ChallengeThis manufacturer needed a lubricant that would
provide superior lubricity and protection from rustand high-temperature corrosion. In addition, thelubricant needed to be compatible with the metals
and elastomers used in this equipment and notcause carbon residue build-up.

Performance Lubricants

The SolutionCorrugator Krytox™ 226FG*, a food-grade lubricant thatfeatures consistent and reliable performance, easily
met the challenges of this application while extending
the lubrication cycle. It is compatible with all metals
and elastomers and resistant to water, steam, andchemicals. Unlike conventional lubricants that carbonize
at high temperatures and destroy bearings, Corrugator
Krytox™ 226FG grease retains its integrity and continues
to provide superior lubricity. By decreasing bearing
failures, this grease was able to help minimize equipment
downtime, enabling the manufacturer to improveproductivity.
Key Advantages• Using Corrugator Krytox™ 226FG grease, themanufacturer was able to extend the lubrication cycle
while increasing the service life of the support bearings,
resulting in less downtime and greater productivity.
• Technical service experts from Chemours havedeveloped grease conversion protocols for thecorrugator industry to help make switching lubricants
faster and easier.
• Corrugator Krytox™ 226FG can be used in glue machine
bearings and any steam-heated cylinder, includingpressure, pressure belt, and corrugator rolls.
• Corrugator Krytox™ 226FG is NSF H-1 registered assafe for incidental food-contact applications, making it
ideal for paperboard plants supplying food packaging.

*Krytox™ 226FG is NSF135659 registered.
