Mine ball mill is a kind of ball mill, is supporting equipment for a mining quarry beneficiation, equipment working conditions are more complex, such as heavy load problem appeared on the ball mill gear, low speed and accompanied by impact, occasional high temperature phenomenon, due to the mine site dust, easy to have dust, hard particles pollution, etc.


The No. 1 ball mill of a mine's mineral processing plant, previously due to the original gear vice mechanical failure led to the inability to work properly to protect the production line, so the subsequent replacement for CITIC Heavy Industry's open gear pair and small teeth on both sides of the bearing. After the new replacement gear pair, the owner also wanted to take the opportunity to improve the ball mill site environment, the original use of fluid grease, the site grease black, the environment does not look good, clean up waste grease is also relatively laborious. In order to solve the problem, U.LUBE team recommended using U.LUBE ET O-OG C-F3 pure oil type open gear operating lubricant to replace the original fluid grease, visually the pure oil is transparent, the site looks better, improve the site environment and also facilitate the waste oil It is also convenient to clean up and recycle.


After replacing the pure oil, U.LUBE service team technicians regularly made continuous follow-up observation on the effect of using the No.1 mill open gear lubricant. After replacing the gears, the temperature distribution on the tooth surface of the large and small gears is basically smooth and normal, the temperature difference is not big, the vibration of the bearings on both sides of the small gears is also smooth and normal, the oil film of the mill open gear is good and uniform, the working surface of the gears can be visually inspected, and the working surface of the gears is smooth and smooth without abnormal damage.
