Serving the Glass Manufacturing Industry

Producing glass involves very high temperatures, heavy machinery, and constant operation that cause stress to equipment. Without the right lubricant, increased wear, common breakdowns, and downtime can occur. At Tribology Tech-Lube, our lubricants help the glass industry perform at its best and lengthen equipment life.

Challenges Experienced by the Glass Manufacturing Industry

Glass manufacturing needs these lubricant solutions:

High Temperatures: Furnaces, molds, and forming tools all operate in high heat. This can cause standard lubricants to break down or evaporate.
Friction and Wear: Rollers, conveyors, and cutting tools are always moving and produce a lot of friction, potentially causing wear and tear on important parts.
Contamination Risks: Lubricants have to be clean-running to avoid contaminating glass products, which can result in deformities or rejected batches.
Heavy Loads: Equipment like conveyors and molding machines usually manage heavy loads and need lubricants that can perform well under great pressure.

Our Solutions

TTL lubricants protect against wear and reduce friction, even in high-temperature environments.

High-Temperature Lubricants

For equipment in extreme heat (furnaces and molds), TTL’s high-temperature lubricants provide stability and protection. They resist oxidation and thermal breakdown to offer top performance and reduce the risk of equipment failure.

Clean-Running Lubricants

To avoid contamination in glass products, TTL’s clean-running lubricants work perfectly and don’t leave leftover residues or interfere with production. This is suitable for conveyors, rollers, and cutting tools.

Heavy-Duty Greases

Glass manufacturing equipment often handles heavy loads, straining lubricants and causing early wear. TTL’s heavy-duty greases offer excellent load-carrying abilities and adhesion, protecting gears, bearings, and other components.

Synthetic Lubricants

For applications requiring top-notch performance, TTL’s synthetic lubricants provide thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and protection against wear. Our synthetic lubricants are perfect for machinery that operates at high speeds and equipment in challenging environments.
