OIL SPRAY ARRANGEMENT

Oil spray arrangement is an important aspect of lubrication in cement plants. According to a source, the best lubricants for these applications are sprayed onto the teeth just before the pinion and driven gear mate. The spray pattern is critical for the coverage of the mating teeth to be sufficient. Normally, the lubricant is sprayed directly from a barrel due to the quantity required. The same source suggests that spray systems are used to lubricate large gear and pinion sets, found on ball mills, rod mills, kilns, etc. Each system includes an air operated pumping station, a measuring valve panel, a spray nozzle, electrical controls, and a number of optional features
