The Situation
A Turkish manufacturer of kitchen and home appliances noticed that there their blenders and mixers were
making too much noise. While conducting an inspection to find the root cause of the problem, they noticed wear on the metal sintered bearings in the mixer and blender shafts.
The Solution
Initially, we suggested Anderol® 465 – an ISO 68 synthetic di-ester based lubricant that commonly used in sintered bearings. This product was not the perfect fit for the application, and after assessment we advised to use a PAO/Ester based lubricant with higher viscosity.
Anderol® 5460 PLUS, is an ISO VG 460, PAO/Ester based lubricant, suited for gear applications exposed to extreme service conditions, all types of enclosed gear drives, bearings, including plain rolling elements and anti-friction types, enclosed gear cases and speed reducers.
The result
Using sintered bearings impregnated with Anderol®5460 PLUS, the noise dissipated and energy savings
were observed.
Energy savings are indicative of Anderol® 5460PLUS’s low coefficient of friction. In addition, the lubricant has outstanding anti-wear properties, a wide operating temperature range, and extended lubricant life.
