Kluber Lubrication, manufacturer of speciality lubricants, brings in high-end tribological solutions by supplying tailor made speciality lubricants and services for textile industry.
Christian Forster, Market Manager Textile Industry at Klüber Lubrication said that Klüber Lubrication is more than just a manufacturer of speciality lubricants.
In the textile industry, the lubrication requirements vary from machine to machine and from production step to production step. The loads, speeds and vibrations to which bearings, chains and gear wheels are exposed can be very high. In many cases, machine manufacturers specify different lubricants to be used for the individual friction points. This results in a huge logistical effort for the production sites around the world and entails the risk of errors in case lubricants are mixed up.
Being a well-established partner of the textile industry, they analyse specific applications in order to streamline the use of oils, greases and coatings. In general, the number of different lubricants can thus be reduced while maintaining the quality of lubrication. They work out a practical and economically attractive solution.
Their synthetic special lubricants offer many advantages over standard products based on mineral oil. The benefits include: longer service intervals, reduced downtime, higher production reliability. Moreover, the risk of contact between the yarn or fabric and the lubricants drops.
Kluber Lubrication as a development partner to the textile industry, share their long-standing experience with the manufacturers of textile machines and finishing equipment, knowing that the lubricant is a vital design element in machine design. Therefore, many renowned manufactures use their high-performance lubricants for the first fill of their machines.
