Chain Lubrication at High Temperatures
In many industrial processes – such as drying systems, film stretching lines or corrugated board and wood processing – drive chains are exposed to extreme thermal loads. Temperatures exceeding 250°C are part of daily operations. Under these conditions, conventional chain oils quickly reach their limits.
Our high-performance lubricants are engineered for applications where conventional oils fail, particularly in thermally demanding chain systems.
Lubrication in the Corrugated Board Industry
Extreme conditions demand exceptional performance. The production of corrugated board is a highly complex, continuous process where paper is heated, glued, and shaped. Corrugating machines up to 150m long with over 50,000 m²/h output operate non-stop under intense conditions.
With decades of experience, we offer custom-developed lubricants designed specifically for corrugated board applications – ensuring maximum uptime and long-term cost savings.
Oxygen-Safe Lubrication for Reactive Atmospheres
In applications with more than 21% oxygen concentration or with pure gaseous/liquid oxygen, the highest safety standards apply. Common fields include: oxygen valves and fittings in industry and medical technology, oxygen lances in steel production, pumps and compressors in gas logistics, diving and rescue systems.
Our lubricants are specially designed for use in oxygen applications and tested by BAM for oxygen compatibility. Maximum safety and top technical performance.
Lubrication of Rail and Infrastructure
Curve squealing is a well-known issue in rail systems, caused by micro-slip between the wheel tread and the rail during curved track segments. Also excessive friction between wheel flange and rail flank during cornering and switching operations or load and corrosion of wheelset bearings contribute to excessive wear of components.
LUBCON offers high-tech lubricants and technologies developped specially for the railroad and rail sector.
Whether you're a longtime FUCHS customer or part of the LUBCON family, you can expect enhanced service, broader product access and continued innovation in specialty lubrication solutions.
