Cleaning is fundamental

The cleaning of production equipment is a fundamental aspect of maintenance to control the risk of contamination, to ensure quality and plant safety. Clean equipment is imperative for visual inspections to ascertain the condition of the equipment and maintenance required to keep the equipment in optimal working condition.

Cleaning is mandatory before performing complete risk assessments and inspections

Cleansolv High Flash EP Cleaner

The Cleansolv High Flash EP formulation is designed to remove contamination and lubricant buildup on girth gears and pinions prior to inspection. This is accomplished by flushing the girth gear when the mill is about to stop, during grind out minimizing downtime.

The actual time of flushing a gear set is under an hour. There is no need to wipe the gear teeth down or rinse after, to remove residue as in Magnetic Particle or Dye penetrative inspections; if using ASTM E2905 inspection method.

GF460EP Flushing Lubricant

The GF460EP Flushing Lubricant is an exceptional Flushing Lubricant for open gear flushing applications; designed to remove contamination and lubricant build-up on girth gears and pinions prior to inspection or any related maintenance procedures.

Gear engineer gear teeth analysis
Gear Engineers worldwide use visual interpretation (AGMA 1010-F14) as the standard used to analyze gear tooth condition, such as contact patterns, alignment and wear patterns.
