High Viscosity

(22 - 220 ISO)

High viscosity is a characteristic of substances or fluids that are thick and resistant to flow. These materials possess a high resistance to deformation and require more force or energy to move. While high viscosity lubricants are more readily available globally, they are not as effective as low viscosity lubricants due to their lack of penetration.

However, in extreme temperature situations, they may be necessary. It is important to note that high viscosity lubricants take longer to penetrate and may cause excess lubricant to drip.  It is recommended to use our conveyor brush cleaners to prevent build up and reduce drippage.

The OPCO equipment is designed to handle these high viscosity lubricants with ease. In conclusion, while high viscosity lubricants may not be as effective as low viscosity lubricants, they are still necessary in certain situations and can be applied with the proper equipment and techniques.

Low Viscosity

(Less than 22 ISO)

Low viscosity lubricants are a type of fluid that has a thin consistency and flows easily. They are particularly useful in situations where fluid flow is essential for efficient operation. Mighty Lube offers a range of low viscosity lubricants that have been specifically formulated to provide maximum protection and performance for conveyor chains and trolleys.

The specialized low viscosity formula used by Mighty Lube ensures extended life for conveyor chains and trolleys. The formula contains a carrier that penetrates more rapidly into the wear areas, leaving behind high viscosity high-grade esters and additives that protect the conveyor chains. This reduces friction between link pins, bearings of the trolley wheel and and prolongs the lifespan of the conveyor rails.

Mighty Lube's low viscosity lubricants have been designed to withstand high temperatures and harsh operating conditions. The specialized formula ensures that the lubricant remains effective even in extreme conditions, providing reliable protection for your machinery.

In conclusion, if you want to ensure the longevity of your conveyor chains and trolleys and conveyor rails, it is essential to use a high-quality low viscosity lubricant. Mighty Lube's range of low viscosity lubricants is specifically formulated to provide maximum protection and performance, making them the ideal choice for your conveyor chain lubrication needs.
