Depending on their viscosity, the synthetic hydraulic and gear oils in the Rivolta F.L. series meet and exceed the HLP requirements for hydraulic oils as specified in DIN 51524 T2, as well as the CLP requirements per DIN 51517 T3 for gear oils, and demonstrate outstanding properties in terms of viscosity stability, wear protection, oxidation stability, and corrosion protection. Rivolta F.L. 20 is also recommended as a high-performance chain lubricant for the food industry.
Applications
- Hydraulics: Hydraulic motors, hydraulic pumps
- Gearboxes: Spur gearboxes, bevel gearboxes, screw gearboxes; e.g., worm gearboxes
- Chains: Lubrication of conveyor, transport, control, and drive chains in conveying systems (e.g., bottle/bottle crate conveying and distribution systems, slaughterhouse conveying systems), baking lines, etc.
- Levers, bolts, joints, guides, slideways, cable lubrication, spindles, idler pulleys
Our Rivolta F.L. lubricants do not attack common metals, plastics, paints, or mineral oil-resistant sealing materials. Rivolta F.L. 20 is miscible with mineral oils and ester oils, but is not miscible with polyalkylene glycols.
Preparing the Lubrication Point
Drain the old lubricant. If the system was filled with a miscible product, no special flushing procedure is required before refilling. However, in accordance with
food safety regulations and to ensure product purity, we recommend flushing the system with the Rivolta F.L. hydraulic and gear oil to be used. If the system was filled with a non-miscible oil, a flushing procedure must be performed with the Rivolta F.L. 20 to be used before refilling.
When using the product as a chain lubricant, contaminants and old residues should be removed as thoroughly as possible. The friction points should be as dry as possible to achieve the full adhesive strength of the products.
