Kluber Lubrication has earned a reputation for producing some of the highest-quality specialty lubricants in the world. Kluber grease is often used in industries including food processing, pharmaceuticals, construction, aerospace, and many more.
This blog post outlines eight key benefits of using Kluber Lubrication, demonstrating why their products are trusted by companies worldwide to improve machine performance and minimize costs, with recommendations on the best Kluber lubricants for each industry.
Reduced Maintenance Costs
Using Kluber Lubrication on your applications can lead to fewer maintenance interruptions for your machinery. Applications require maintenance which can be costly, as the fixes/checks can be expensive to carry out. Machinery downtime also halts operations, which delays output and therefore slows down production of goods being sold.
Kluber offers durable multi-purpose lubricants such as Kluberoil, with products like Kluberoil 4 UH1-1500 N having excelling ageing and oxidation resistance, which when applied leads to fewer breakdowns, reduced maintenance frequency, and lower operational costs in the long run.
Lower-quality lubricants have a significantly shorter lifespan compared to Kluber grease, forcing companies to purchase much more stock to maintain the operation of their equipment. This is an additional maintenance cost that can be avoided when using Kluber lubrication products instead.
High-Load Performance
Equipment in power generation, construction, and agriculture industries rely on products like Kluberpaste to help protect operating systems subjected to high pressure or extreme loads. The Kluberpaste 46 MR 401 specifically is able to reduce wear and tear on high-load frictional connections, and can continue performing effectively even under extreme conditions such as high temperatures. Its light-colored, high-pressure, solid lubricant content ensures long-lasting protection for components like threaded fasteners and sliding surfaces, minimizing downtime.
Energy Efficient
With energy costs soaring for businesses, keeping these expenses down is essential. Many Kluber greases help reduce energy consumption by optimizing the friction and heat management in applications. For example, Kluberoil improves the energy efficiency of gearboxes, leading to great reductions in energy use over time. This improvement translates directly into cost savings for industrial applications.
Versatile Kluber Lubrication
Kluber lubrication provides specialized solutions across a wide range of industries, offering tailored lubricants for various sectors.
- Kluberpharma is designed specifically for equipment in the pharmaceutical industry, guaranteeing clean and safe lubrication in sensitive environments.
- Kluberquiet helps minimize sound and vibration, which is perfect for automotive and household appliances requiring low-noise operation.
- Klubercut is used for metalworking equipment, offering exceptional performance in machining processes by improving tool life and surface finish.
High Temperature Resistance
Kluber greases are engineered to perform optimally while experiencing harsh temperatures, whether high or low. This is extremely important in the aerospace industry, with applications facing high heat during atmospheric reentry, and extreme cold at high altitudes. Conventional lubricants would typically break down during this process, but Klubertherm can withstand these drastic temperature changes, maintaining the performance of critical components.
Improves Application Durability
Kluber’s high-performance lubricants are designed to reduce friction and wear in mechanical components, significantly extending the life of machinery. Equipment that’s under stress is more likely to shut down, and need more downtime after long hours of operation, but Kluberalfa products are developed for extreme environments like high-temperature or vacuum applications. This allows machinery to function for longer periods of time, without compromising performance.
Food Equipment Options
Lubrication and grease for food and beverage processing industries must be compliant with the stringent health and safety standards that come with the regulations governing food safety. This is why Kluberfood is a popular choice for food-processing equipment and machinery. It minimizes the risk of contamination, while maintaining high performance and equipment cleanliness. Additionally, Kluberfood products are H1-certified, ensuring they are safe for incidental food contact, further safeguarding the production process.
Corrosion Protection
Kluber lubrication and grease products like Kluberpaste and Kluberlectric provide excellent protection against corrosion, making sure that even components of applications exposed to harsh conditions stay rust-free and functional. For example, Kluberlectric KR 44-102 is designed specifically for electrical contacts, switches and sensors and offers exceptional protection against moisture and corrosion, ensuring the longevity of electrical systems.
Final Thoughts on Kluber Grease
It’s clear to see that using Kluber lubrication brings lots of benefits to applications across a range of industries. From extending equipment lifespan and reducing maintenance costs, to offering specialized solutions for high temperatures and food safety, Kluber products are designed to meet the most demanding operational needs.
