SWEPCO 225 - Extreme Performance Open Gear Lubricant

Extreme Protection for Heavy Duty Open Gears

SWEPCO OGL 225 is a semi-synthetic open gear lubricant engineered for large, heavily loaded gears operating in mining, cement, and processing plants. It sprays easily and forms a thick protective film that withstands shock loads, vibration, and extreme pressure. Surface-smoothing additives recondition gears teeth for reduced wear and longer equipment life. Trusted in mills, kilns, and draglines under the toughest heavy industrial conditions.

Key Features:

Extreme Load Protection
- Exceeds 800 kg Four-Ball Weld Load and 12 FZG load stage for severe duty gear systems.
Chlorine- & VOC-Free Carrier
- Safer application and fast evaporation leaves a tacky, long-lasting film with no hardening.
Surface Smoothing Technology
- Advanced additives reduce micro-pitting and scratches, creating smoother contact zones that reduce wear and extend gear life.
Visual Coverage Control
- Transparent blue color allows easy inspection of coverage and film thickness on gears.
All-Weather Pumpability
- Sprayable from 5°C and performs in 0 to 130°C (32 – 266°F) environments, ideal for mines and plants.

TECHNICAL DATA

Reduced Downtime – Higher protection of gear teeth increases operational reliability, resulting in longer uptime and fewer unexpected failures.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership – Requires less lubricant per application while delivering superior protection, reducing total product usage and maintenance costs.
Extended Equipment Life – Surface conditioning additives help recondition gear and pinion teeth, minimizing long-term wear and preventing gear failure.
Improved Safety & Compliance – Chlorine- and VOC-free formulation supports a safer work environment and meets environmental regulations.
Faster Inspections – Distinct transparent blue color makes it easy to verify lubricant spray patterns and ensure full gear coverage, reducing inspection time.
