ANALYSIS OF TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF VEGETABLE GREASES FOR APPLICATIONS IN AGRI-FOOD INDUSTRIES
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2018, Vol 282, Issue 6
Abstract
The article presents the results of research and development works and analyses the results in order to develop an ecological lubricant for use in food industry equipment. The research was carried out as part of a project undertaken by a scientific and industrial consortium. While the specialized lubricants were composed, particular attention was paid to the selection of components, taking into account both their functional and ecological properties. A vegetable oil and a mixture of vegetable and synthetic oil were used as the dispersion phase for the preparation of lubricants. Prior to the verification of the quality of developed lubricants in operation, oxidation stability and lubricating properties were tested in model experimental studies. The lubrication properties of the developed greases under operating conditions were verified. The properties of the developed lubricants have been verified in extreme operating conditions, namely, high dust environments, moisture, the presence of water. As a result, greases resistant to the oxidation process and with favourable anti-seizure and anti-wear properties have been developed.<br/><br/>
