Brick manufacture is a complicated engineering process where a lot number of equipment is used as a part of it. Operating machine tools, conveyers, and other equipment is done in a dusty environment what carries risk of premature failure of the mechanisms.
The matter is the dust that accumulates in open friction units acts as abrasive. When it gets between interacting parts, solid particles effect metal what leads to a significant increase in intensity of surfaces wearing.
The cause why a lot amount of dust accumulates in friction units often consist in using greases and liquid lubricating materials. Because of their sticky texture, the small particles contained in the air accumulate and mix with a lubricant forming an abrasive paste that is held in a friction unit.
The brick-making plants’ specialists have found the most effective way to reduce friction in the equipment units and at the same time to avoid the issue of contaminating a lubricating agent. And it is using MODENGY A-FLON dry adaptive lubricating material.
The dry lubricant based on polytetrafluorethylene is applied onto open equipment units with metal-to-metal or metal-to-polymer friction pairs such as chains, for instance.
This agent is sprayed out of an aerosol can, after that a ‘movable’ layer of lubricating powder is formed on the treated surfaces that effectively penetrates to all interacting surfaces without having to disassemble these units.
In process of friction, the finely dispersed powder fills in surface microroughness caves and forms a dry lubricating film. It does not cause dust sticking-on, and provides effective friction and wear reduction, elimination of squeak and stick-slip motion.
MODENGY A-FLON is easy to apply onto the surfaces of equipment directly on-site, and provides extended service lifetime and improved operation reliability of the equipment even in a dusty environment.
