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.
