4. LUBRICATION - The precision - made gears and bearings in our reducers require high-grade lubricants of the
proper viscosity to maintain trouble- free performance. All standard reducers ordered from the factory are lled
with ISO viscosity grade Mobil Glygoyle 460 polyalkalene glycol (PAG) lubricant. If oil needs tobe added or
changed, ONLY compatible polyglycol lubricants should be used. Contact the factory for more information.
5. TEMPERATURE - Most Titan units are supplied with worm gear reducers. These units may run at temperatures
between 100 degrees to 200 degrees F. (Higher temperatures are especially common during start up). There is
NO NEED TO WORRY unless temperatures exceed 200 degrees F.
6. GENERAL - Inspect weekly to make sure reducer remains securely bolted.
CHAIN & SPROCKETS
For longest chain life a constant lm of oil is recommended. We recommend a good quality non-detergent petroleum base
oil. Use the chart below.
SHUT OFF CONVEYOR BEFORE REMOVING GUARDS TO APPLY OIL.
REMEMBER - ALL GUARDS AND BOTTOM PANS, IF PROVIDED, MUST BE
REPLACED BEFORE RUNNING CONVEYOR. TITAN INDUSTRIES IS NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURIES CAUSED BY NOT COMPLYING WITH
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
BEARINGS
1. LUBRICATION - Bearings used on Titan conveyors are normally pre-lubed for life. If a customer requested re-lube
bearings be provided, the use of a #2 consistency lithium based grease is advised.
Greasing frequency should be as many times as necessary to maintain a small lm of grease leaking at the seals.
This will protect against foreign materials entering the bearing. The following list is provided to aid you in acquiring
the proper grease or an equivalent.
2. REPLACEMENT - If replacement of bearings become necessary remember to clean o the shaft, le smooth
any grooves or set screw marks, and oil the shaft before slipping on the new bearing.
IF BEARING DOES NOT SLIDE ON EASILY, USE A SOFT METAL
BAR TO TAP AGAINST THE INNER RACE TO ASSEMBLE.
3. GENERAL - Set up a weekly check on all bearings to ensure they remain tightly bolted down, set screws remain
fastened securely, and are properly lubricated.
