Finding the right Gear Cleaning Solution

Choosing the right cleaner for your girth gears is crucial. Here’s a guide to making an informed decision, in line with AGMA 1010-F14:

• Look for Extreme Pressure Additives: These specialized cleaners remove contamination and lubricant buildup effectively while providing excellent protection on gear teeth.
• Efficiency is Key: The right cleaner should work in less than an hour, optimizing downtime.
• Inspection-Ready: Clean gears are essential for accurate failure analysis as per AGMA 1010-F14 and digital inspections as per ASTM E2905.
• Passes load stage 12 for FZG testing.

One such product is Cleansolv™ EHF – specifically designed for pre-NDT, visual inspections and maintenance procedures like root gap measurements, pinion changeouts, etc.

Remember, the right cleaner not only cleans but also prepares your gear for advanced inspection techniques. Up next: the benefits of open gear flushing!
