VULTREX EGF-1000 (contains synthetic lubricants) is specifically formulated for heavily loaded enclosed gears on draglines, shovels and excavators. It provides exceptional film strength and excellent antiwear protection. It is intended for gears where the manufacturer specifies viscosities in excess of 1000 cSt or where a semi-fluid grease is used. VULTREX EGF-1000 has been used successfully as a lubricant in the enclosed gears of electric mining shovels, underground mining locomotives and many other applications. Due to its exceptional fluidity, film strength and wear resistance, VULTREX EGF-1000 has also been applied as ball mill gear lubricant. It also provides excellent results in with worm gears where "yellow" metals are present and sulphur/phosphorus extreme pressure additives cannot be used.
