Lubrication Engineers Highlights Pyroshield® Syn Kiln Lubricant for Heavy-Duty Industrial Applications
Innovative Synthetic Lubricant Tackles Extreme Conditions
Lubrication Engineers, a leader in the development and manufacturing of high-performance lubricants and reliability solutions, highlights Pyroshield® Syn Kiln Lubricant (9020). This non-asphaltic synthetic heavy-duty formulation offers an environmentally friendly alternative while meeting the demanding needs of industries relying on large open gear systems in extreme conditions. The lubricant's unique composition, featuring fine graphite and Almasol® solid additives, provides high load-carrying capacity and prevents metal-to-metal contact, ensuring optimal protection for industrial equipment.
Pyroshield Syn Kiln Lubricant boasts high film strength, enabling it to withstand high-load and heavy-shock applications even at elevated temperatures. Its impressive temperature reduction capability of 5-15% improves gear efficiency and extends equipment life, while the 95-lb Timken OK load rating ensures reliable performance under extreme pressure conditions. The lead-free composition allows for disposal like standard petroleum oils without special handling, making it an environmentally responsible choice for industries seeking sustainable solutions.
The lubricant is suitable for versatile application methods, permitting manual or automatic spray system application without equipment shutdown. Users can expect a significant 25-50% reduction in lubricant consumption, leading to lower operational costs and reduced maintenance requirements. The proprietary Almasol additive offers remarkable temperature resistance up to 1,900°F, maintaining protection even in extreme heat conditions, while meeting multiple industry standards including ANSI/AGMA 9005-EO2 and major manufacturer requirements.
With a high viscosity index of 208, Pyroshield Syn Kiln Lubricant maintains consistency across wide temperature ranges, providing superior rust and corrosion protection as evidenced by passing both freshwater and seawater rust tests. The lubricant's high Four-Ball EP Weld Point of 400 kgf demonstrates superior extreme pressure performance and wear protection, while its FZG Scuffing test rating greater than 12 proves exceptional resistance to gear scuffing under heavy loads.
Further enhancing its performance, Pyroshield Syn Kiln Lubricant achieves a Copper Corrosion rating of 1b, providing excellent protection against copper corrosion. Its Four-Ball EP Load Wear Index of 97.1 kgf and FZG Wear test results showing less than 2 mg/kWh weight loss demonstrate exceptional wear protection under extreme pressure and heavy load conditions. Available in quarter drums and drums to accommodate different volume needs, this lubricant's black color with graphite content allows for visual confirmation of proper application and coverage.

Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
