High Performance Open Gear and Wire

Rope Grease
Shell Gadus S2 OGH greases are designed for use in high temperature, open gear
applications such as rotary cement kiln gears. The products are designed to be sprayed
onto the kiln gears.
Shell Gadus S2 OGH greases are based upon an inorganic non-soap thickener
dispersed in a high viscosity base oil containing graphite.

Applications
Excellent load carrying capacity under

severe conditions
Typical applications for Shell Gadus S2 OGH Grease contains selected solid additives to
are: ensure excellent resistance to shock loading.

High temperature open gears
Proven performance in the large Cement

Rotary cement kiln gears plants
Very successful track records in some of the
largest Cement plants.
Care should be taken to ensure that Shell Gadus
S2 OGH offer the required base oil viscosity
under the operating conditions encountered.
These will be defined by the gear speeds, load, Re-greasing Intervals
temperature etc. For bearings operating near their maximum
recommended temperatures, re-greasing intervals
should be reviewed.
