Molyslip™ Molychain GT-260 Revolutionizes Chain Oil Performance for Brückner Stenter

Introduction
Molyslip™ Molychain GT-260 has set a new benchmark in textile manufacturing lubrication by delivering exceptional results for Aarti International, a leading textile manufacturing group based in Punjab, India.

This case study highlights how GT-260 our leading chain oil solution tackled persistent carbon build-up and reduced downtime in their BRÜCKNER stenter, resulting in significant operational and cost improvements.

Challenges

Aarti International operates a state-of-the-art dyeing and processing unit with an installed capacity of 1.75 million spindles. Despite their advanced setup, the BRÜCKNER stenter—a critical machine in their textile processing—faced serious challenges due to inadequate lubrication.

1. Excessive Carbon Build-Up: The existing lubricant left substantial carbon deposits on the chains, leading to performance inefficiencies.
2. Frequent Chain Breakages: Carbon deposits caused wear and tear on the chains, resulting in costly and frequent maintenance.
3. Downtime and Increased Costs: The combined effect of frequent breakdowns and maintenance led to significant production downtime and escalating operating expenses.

These challenges hindered the factory’s ability to maintain optimal productivity, necessitating a robust solution to improve equipment performance and reduce costs.

Solutions

To address these issues, the Molyslip™ team conducted a detailed evaluation of the stenter’s lubrication requirements and identified clear objectives:

• Eliminate carbon build-up caused by the existing lubricant.
• Minimize chain breakages to enhance operational reliability.
• Reduce overall operating costs through optimized lubrication efficiency.

Recommended Solution:
Molyslip™ proposed the use of Molychain GT-260, an advanced synthetic chain oil specifically engineered to handle high temperatures and reduce carbon deposits. To ensure optimal performance, the team began by thoroughly cleaning the textile stenter before applying the new lubricant.

Key Advantages of Molychain GT-260:

• Enhanced Thermal Stability: GT-260 maintains superior performance under high-temperature conditions, reducing the risk of carbon formation.
• Synthetic Technology: Its advanced formulation delivers improved chain lubrication and longevity, minimising wear and tear.
• Reduced Lubricant Consumption: GT-260’s efficiency allows for fewer applications, reducing overall consumption and associated costs.

Results

The introduction of Molychain GT-260 yielded remarkable improvements for Aarti International’s BRÜCKNER stenter:

1. Improved Cleanliness: Following the cleaning and the switch to GT-260, the machine experienced a significant reduction in carbon build-up, creating a cleaner operating environment.
2. 15% Reduction in Lubricant Consumption: GT-260’s superior efficiency meant fewer applications were required, cutting costs and simplifying maintenance schedules.
3. Reduced Carbon Deposits: The advanced synthetic technology drastically reduced carbon accumulation on the chains and machine components, extending equipment lifespan and reducing downtime.
4. Enhanced Reliability: By addressing the root causes of chain breakage, GT-260 improved the overall reliability of the BRÜCKNER stenter, enabling Aarti International to maintain consistent production schedules.

These results not only resolved the initial pain points but also delivered measurable financial and operational benefits for the textile manufacturer.

The Molyslip™ Difference

Molyslip™ Molychain GT-260 exemplifies our dedication to delivering cutting-edge lubrication solutions tailored to the unique demands of industrial machinery.

Molychain GT-260 is a high performance, fully synthetic lubricant specifically designed to lubricate and protect chain systems operating in high temperature ovens.

It is formulated from a blend of synthetic base fluids carefully selected to deliver excellent lubrication properties at high operating temperatures. The advanced additive system minimizes friction and wear and protects against thermo-oxidative degradation ensuring that chains are kept free from carbon deposit build-up.

Molychain GT-260 is suitable for use at operating temperatures up to 260°C and can be used to lubricate the chain and track system of equipment such as textile stenters, plasterboard drying
ovens, ceramic ovens, paint curing and other ovens.

This case study demonstrates how our innovative products:

• Improve equipment performance under challenging conditions.
• Reduce operational costs through efficient and reliable lubrication.
• Minimize environmental and workplace hazards by reducing carbon deposits.
• Outstanding resistance to thermo-oxidative degradation
• Excellent anti-wear properties
• Low volatility
• Capable of operating up to 260°C (280°C intermittently)

Our expertise in industrial lubrication ensures that customers like Aarti International can achieve optimal machine performance, minimize downtime, and enhance overall efficiency.
