SECTION 5 – MIXER LUBRICATION
5.1 STANDARD GEAR LUBRICANT – The factory supplied NLGI EP0 grease is a high quality lubricant with a
lithium base, suitable for operation in ambient temperatures ranging b50
°
F and +200
°
F. Under
normal operating conditions, this lubricant need not be changed until the unit has been dismantled
for some reason.
5.2 Under adverse operating conditions, periodic changes of lubricant may be necessary. Adverse conditions are
defined as operating in very humid, dust laden or chemical atmospheres, or where wide variations in ambient
temperature occurs. Such adverse conditions can lead to deterioration of lubricant compounds and additives,
and it is recommended that the condition of the grease be checked within six months after start up. Reputable
lubricant suppliers can analyze the grease and recommend economical, safe change schedules.
5.3 Gear Lubricant Recommendations:
Use only a lubricant suitable for the temperature and operating conditions.
