Choosing the right open gear grease

Open gears

Operating for long hours, under extreme loads, in high temperatures and dusty environments, ongoing wear is a significant challenge for open gears. This can lead to unplanned downtime and reduced equipment life – creating a barrier to effective operations and the potential need for costly replacement.

Leading mining and cement companies use advanced grease technology and technical inspections to help prevent open gear failure, optimise service life and ensure the smooth running of their operations.

Why choose Shell Gadus OG greases?

The Shell Gadus OG greases range delivers a tailored and reliable solution to the challenges of maintaining open gear operations and improving efficiency in cement and mining production facilities.

Along with their proven load-carrying capacity and protection for open gears under shock loads, it delivers the right balance of additives to reduce wear. Optimal graphite levels also provide emergency lubrication should unexpected spray system failures occur.

In line with Shell’s focus on safety, all our greases are REACH compliant, contain no harmful chemicals or heavy metals, and are easy for maintenance teams to apply.

The Shell Gadus OG greases range offers high-performance open gear protection – helping to maximise equipment life, minimise downtime and optimise grease consumption. Combined with regular inspections and services such as Shell LubeExpert that provide on-site maintenance support, Shell Gadus OG greases can help you increase productivity and make the most of your equipment.
