What does it cost you when your gearbox fails? The cost is much more than just a gearbox!
The seals have been removed from the gearboxes in this video. This illustrates what happens when the seals to your gearboxes are leaking in the field.
Notice that Sprinkler Lube forms a cone of grease on the outside of the shaft, slowing down the leaking and effectively keeping water out of the gearbox. Compare how much Sprinkler Lube 1200 has leaked out of the gearbox in the same amount of time as normal gear oil!
Let's hear what these growers have to say about the pain of leaking gearboxes!
If you have leaky gearboxes on your pivot, then your gearbox is not being protected. The following video allows us to see inside the gearbox to understand what is happening when your lubricant is low.
When the fluid level is low, normal gear oil lubricates the worm gear, but does not reach the bearings. Sprinkler Lube 1200 lubricates the worm gear and goes through the bearings to provide the protection you need and prolong the life of your gearbox.
Listen to these farmers as they share their feelings of finding relief by using Sprinkler Lube.
Leaking seals results in a low fluid level leaving metal exposed and unprotected. How long does it take normal gear oil to leave your gearbox unprotected?
Lasting Protection!
This display sat in a barn for 5 years. Normal Gear Oil protection failed and allowed the gearbox to rust. Sprinkler Lube 1200 kept the gearbox protected and is black only from dirt.
Thixotropy: Thixotropy is defined as the ability for a substance to thin down with movement and to thicken while sitting still.
Why is this relevant?
A heavier lubricant does not lubricate well in the gear contact area. So, to slow leaking while still staying thin in the contact area, the lubricant needs to be thixotropic.
Sprinkler Lube thins down with movement but thickens back up when the movement stops to protect your gearbox from unexposed metal and to slow down and even stop the flow of a leaking gearbox as you saw in the last slide.
Don't take our word for it. Listen to the experiences of these growers who have used Sprinkler Lube in their gearboxes and discovered the benefits of having the ultimate protection.
