How We Serve the Printing Industry

At Tribology Tech-Lube (TTL), we know that printing presses, binders, and finishing equipment exist and operate in difficult conditions–high speeds, heavy loads, and constant motion. Without the right lubrication, you may be forced to deal with increased wear, frequent breakdowns, and costly downtime.

Printing Industry Challenges

High-Speed Operation: Finishing machines and presses operate at high speeds and produce heat and friction.
Heavy Loads: Equipment such as rollers, gears, and bearings typically carry heavy loads and require lubricants that are pressure-resistant.
Contamination Risks: Lubricants should be clean-running to prevent soiling printed material.
Maintenance: Frequent usage and high speeds can cause more wear, and maintenance would be needed more often.

Our Solutions

High-Speed Lubricants

For high-speed presses and finishing equipment, TTL's high-speed lubricants stabilize and protect. They reduce friction and heat generation to reduce the likelihood of equipment failure.

Clean-Running Lubricants

To prevent printed materials from being contaminated, TTL's clean-running lubricants do not leave residues and will not interfere with production. Use these lubricants on rollers, gears, and bearings.

Heavy-Duty Greases

Printing equipment is often subject to heavy loads, which can strain lubricants and lead to premature wear. TTL's heavy-duty greases have load-carrying capacity and adhesion, protecting components and reducing maintenance needs.

Synthetic Lubricants

For applications that demand max performance, TTL synthetic lubricants provide thermal stability, resistance to oxidation, and wear protection. The products are perfect for the conditions where machinery and equipment run at high speeds in severe environments.

Benefits of Partnering with TTL

Less Downtime: Our solutions minimize equipment failure and unscheduled maintenance, keeping production lines running at a smooth flow.
Extended Equipment Life: Through protection from wear and friction, our lubricants help in extending equipment lifespan.
Enhanced Print Quality: Clean-running lubricants do not contaminate and yield high-quality printed materials.
Cost Savings: Lower-cost maintenance and less time spent offline translate into cost savings for printer organizations.
