Pumps freely down to 0 deg. F (-18 deg. C). For colder applications, heating may be required.
b) Application – This cement grease lubricant is for Cement Industry equipment open girth gears (Kilns, etc). Gear Shield Synthetic provides superior separation of gear teeth in the heaviest load zone of gear tooth mesh.
4. Petron GEAR SHIELD® P
Gear Shield P, Grease Lubricants for Cement, is a high-viscosity fluid that provides superior separation of gear teeth on rotating machinery and it is especially effective on rotating machinery that operates at elevated temperatures. These units would include kilns, driers, and coal mills.
a) Ambient Temperatures – Open Gear Grease. Pumps freely down to 15 deg. F (-9 deg. C).
b) Application – Open Gear Grease.
Pumps freely down to 15 deg. F (-9 deg. C).
Petron Gear Shield P, cement mill grease lubricant is designed for open gear drives on stationary rotating machinery. Gear Shield P can be applied through an auto-lube system, sump, or bath-type application. Petron Gear Shield P is a semi-synthetic open gear lubricant that is part of a long family of proven open-gear lubes.
5. KILN LUBE
Petron Kiln Lube is a high viscosity, synthetic open gear lubricant designed for use in spray, sump, or bath-type applications. Its unique formulation provides the needed high viscosity protection at elevated operating temperatures, yet stays fluid at cooler temperatures when equipment is down, aiding in trouble-free startups.
a) Ambient Temperatures – Open Gear Grease. High viscosity synthetic lubricant designed for use at both and elevated temperatures.
b) Application – Cement Open Gear Grease. Petron Kiln Lube Open Gear Lubricant is designed for slow-moving open gear drives on stationary rotating machinery
found on kilns, dryers and digesters operating at both low and elevated temperatures.

Below is summary of Proof Of Performance from the Cement factories who switched their Lubricant to Petron Gear Shield for lubrication of their Open Girth Gears. The issues/areas of concern with the earlier Lubricant were mitigated after changing over to Gear Shield. Gear Shield meets OEM Viscosity Requirements, Lubricant Rupture Eliminated and Film Strength Restored – Extended Gear Operating Life
Advantages of using Petron Cement Industry Lubricants - Best Grease for Metal Gear
Below are some Proof Of Performance from the Cement factories using Petron Cement Grease Lubricants. Cement Mills who switched their open-gear Lubricant to Petron Gear Shield for Open Girth Gears lubrication, below demonstrating the issues/concerns prior to changing and the benefits gained after switching over to Petron Lubricant:
Before using Gear Shield Lubricant for Open Girth Gears:
Lubricant did not meet OEM recommended viscosity for open gear lubricants.
Insufficient lubricant film strength contributed to premature gear wear.
Rupture of Lubricants Film
Low lambda (lubricant film thickness) value between gear tooth mating surfaces.
Lack of adhesion to gear teeth / idler wheel transfer.
Excessive lubricant build-up on gears surfaces.
Lubricant build-up increased exposure of gear to air-borne contaminants.
After using Gear Shield Lubricants for Open Girth Gears:
The Gear Shield exceeded the OEM recommended Lube Film minimum Thickness requirements.
High viscosity lubricant film strength restored on pinion and girth gear.
Lubricant film rupture eliminated.
Lubricant Lambda (lubricant film thickness) exceeds the AGMA standard of four (4) or greater.
Proper adhesion, reduced quantity of waste Oil & Reduced cost of disposal.
Lube build-up eliminated
Exposure to contaminants eliminated through Gear Shield’s superior drainage capability.
