Lubricants for film stretching lines from ADDINOL – Precision. Efficiency. Durability.

Q: Why are special high-temperature lubricants necessary?

Standard lubricants quickly reach their limits under the conditions found in film stretching lines. High-temperature lubricants – such as those developed by ADDINOL – prevent coking, reduce deposits and ensure reliable lubrication even during continuous operation.

Q: Which components of a film stretching line need to be lubricated?

The most important lubrication points include: Conveyor chains Bearings and idler rollers Guide rails Optimal lubrication of all these components is crucial for trouble-free operation.

Q: How does the lubricant affect film quality?

An unsuitable lubricant can lead to deposits, smoke or contamination, which can adversely affect film quality. High-quality lubricants from ADDINOL minimise these risks and ensure clean production conditions.

Q: How often should lubricants be changed or replenished?

This depends largely on the operating conditions and the product used. ADDINOL’s high-performance lubricants are characterised by their long service life, which means that maintenance intervals can be extended. An individual analysis of the system is recommended in this case.

Q: What advantages do ADDINOL lubricants offer over standard solutions?

ADDINOL lubricants offer: High temperature and oxidation stability Reduced deposit formation Longer service life Improved plant availability Lower maintenance and operating costs

Q: Can existing lubricants be replaced without any problems?

A changeover is usually possible, but should be well prepared. ADDINOL provides technical advice to support the changeover, helping to avoid mixing problems or residues and ensuring full performance.

Q: How do I find the right lubricant for my film stretching line?

The choice depends on various factors, such as temperature range, load, equipment type and operating time. ADDINOL offers personalised advice and an analysis of your current lubrication schedule to help you find the best solution.

Film stretching lines place the highest demands on the lubricants used: extreme temperatures, high speeds and continuous stress. ADDINOL offers specially developed high-performance lubricants that are precisely tailored to these challenges in the plastics industry – ensuring maximum plant availability and consistent product quality.

Why lubricants are crucial in film stretching lines

In film stretching lines, chains, bearings and guide systems are constantly subjected to high mechanical and thermal stresses. The right lubricants ensure:

Reduced wear and friction
Stable operation at high temperatures
Minimisation of downtime
Extended maintenance intervals
Consistent film quality

Standard solutions are not sufficient here. ADDINOL develops tailor-made lubricants that are precisely tailored to these challenges.

Chain oils

Continuous operation for almost 8,000 hours a year, consistently high speeds and elevated temperatures – ADDINOL’s high-performance, high-speed chain oils from the Cliptec XHS series are perfectly tailored to such extreme conditions, which are typical of modern film stretching lines. They ensure safe and reliable lubrication of all components, as well as trouble-free operation of the equipment. Furthermore, they are highly efficient lubricants that reduce both operating and maintenance costs whilst increasing plant efficiency.

Despite high process temperatures, the high-speed chain oils of the ADDINOL Cliptec XHS series do not form varnish or crust deposits on sliding surfaces, chain guides or pins. The lubrication lines remain free of blockages.

Industrial gear oils

The industrial gear oils in the ADDINOL Eco Gear range effectively prevent wear. They can be used in heavily loaded gearboxes where pitting is a risk, as well as in gearboxes that are already damaged, helping to smooth out existing notches on the tooth flanks. Furthermore, these high-performance lubricants have been proven to extend oil change intervals. The Eco Gear gear oils have numerous approvals and can therefore be used in many types of gearboxes.
