Valves regulate the passage of liquid and gaseous substances. They are an integral part in the household as well as in many industrial areas. Factors that have to be considered when choosing the appropriate lubricant are, among others, good compatibility with sealants and the influence of humidity or chemically aggressive media. Especially if the incidental contact with food cannot be avoided e. g. during conveying drinking water, bottling of juices and refreshments or alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wine or spirits, exclusively physiologically inert, odour and taste neutral lubricants should be applied.
Treating the lubricants for your valves and fittings lubricants with GG Friction Antidote will improve valve reliability, performance and lifecycle. Valves, slides, taps and flaps – all control the flow of media through the pipelines. They can be found in all industries, municipalities and households. Only a few of them can do without a lubricant reducing wear and ensuring proper function of the components. The most suitable lubricant for your application depends on many factors: type of material, type of friction, load, kind of motion, speed, temperature, pressure and the valve lifecycle. Additionally, most valves and fittings are subject to guidelines, standards and legal requirements.
Lubricants for drinking water valves have to meet the country guidelines, be resistant to media, provide good sealing effect and offer good tactile properties at all temperatures. When used in contact with fuel gases, high media resistance is of particular importance. For oxygen installations, exclusively certified lubricants have to be used for safety.
GG Friction Antidote treated lubricants possess a unique combination of properties such as an extremely low coefficient of static friction, eliminating stick-slip, ensuring reduced torque requirements for valve operation while helping to maintain a leak-proof seal. GG Friction Antidote treated lubricants offer many potential benefits for industrial valve applications including lower torque operation, greater valve integrity, compatibility with plastic and rubber, reduced frequency of maintenance and reliable operation at high temperatures.
Unearth the benefits of GG Friction Antidote – An investment that pays off and your benefits at a glance:
Innovative tribological solutions are our passion. We’re proud to offer unmatched friction reduction for a better environment and a quick return on your investment. Through personal contact and consultation, we offer reliable service, support and help our clients to be successful in all industries and markets.
Profitability:
Switching over to a high-performance lubricant pays off although purchasing costs may seem higher at first, less maintenance and longer vehicles/machinery parts lifecycle may already mean less strain on your budget in the short to medium term.
Continuous production processes and predictable maintenance intervals reduce production losses to a minimum. Consistently high lubricant quality ensures continuous, maintenance-free long-term lubrication for high plant availability. Continuous supply of fresh GG Friction Antidote treated lubricant to the lubrication points keeps friction low and reduces energy costs.
Safety:
Longer lubrication intervals reduce the frequency of maintenance work and the need for your staff to work in danger zones. Lubrication systems can therefore considerably reduce occupational safety risks in work areas that are difficult to access.
Reliability:
GG Friction Antidote treated lubricants ensure reliable, clean and precise lubrication around the clock. Plant availability is ensured by continuous friction reduction of the application. Lubrication with GG Friction Antidote treated lubricants help to prevent significant rolling bearing failures.
Need a good ROI? How about 3,900%?
It may sound too outrageous to be true, but the Institute of Mechanical Engineers estimates every $1,000 spent on proper lubrication yields $40,000 in savings.
