Problems caused by contaminated lubrication

We often underestimate the significant damage that contaminated lubrication can inflict on mill and kiln gear drives.

• Abrasive Wear on Gear Teeth: When foreign particles mix with the lubricant, they can cause abrasive wear on gear teeth.
• Excessive Vibration: Contamination can lead to excessive vibration, impacting overall mill performance.
• Meshing Issues: Buildup in the gear tooth root can prevent proper meshing with the pinion, leading to inefficiencies.

Cleaning and flushing can help support the lifecycle of a girth gear as per AGMA standards.
