The use of Schmierstoffsticks

Schmierstoffsticks are a tried-and-tested mixture of wax and graphite in powder form and are ideal for lubricating hard-to-reach bearing rings, such as those found in rotary kilns in cement works. They are easy to use, operate cleanly and do not cause any contamination to the equipment or the surrounding area.

Whilst spraying liquid lubricant often fails to provide even or efficient lubrication, Schmierstoffsticks reliably cover the entire surface of the raceway that needs lubricating. The wax contained in the mixture acts as a carrier material: it melts at the high temperatures of the raceways, spreads evenly across the surface and then evaporates or burns off. What remains is graphite, a highly effective solid lubricant.

Graphite is a natural, mineral-based and environmentally friendly lubricant that significantly reduces friction and thus minimises wear. This can significantly extend the service life of the racing rings and adjacent components. Due to its properties, graphite is the preferred choice for lubrication points subjected to high thermal loads.

Lubrication using Schmierstoffsticks should generally be carried out once or twice a week. Depending on the size of the raceway, around 8 to 12 Schmierstoffsticks are distributed evenly around the circumference of the raceway to ensure optimum lubrication.

Available sizes of Schmierstoffsticks

Depending on the raceway width and operating temperature, the following versions are available:

240 mm length– approx. 150 g
195 mm length– approx. 120 g
150 mm length– approx. 90 g

All figures are approximate.

Notes

For safety reasons, the furnace should be temporarily speed reduced during the lubrication process and suitable protective clothing should be worn.
