The VULTREX™ OGL family of grease-based gear lubricants are sophisticated, next-generation lubricants designed for use on large, heavy-duty, open gear drives as well as bearings and exposed sliding surfaces. This machinery is most commonly found in open-pit mining operations using large mining shovels, drills, excavators, and draglines. VULTREX™ OGL line of greases is designed with a darkening agent that allows mining operators to more easily identify gears that have adequate grease applied.
VULTREX™ OGL SYNTHETIC 2200 is a high viscosity aluminum complex-based, solvent-free open gear lubricant specifically designed to provide “ONE LUBRICANT” for mining shovels, draglines, excavators, drills and haul trucks. It is intended for summer use or for year-round use in warmer climates, with a lower temperature limit of -15°C/5°F. It meets the P&H 464 Open Gear Lubricant specification. It also meets the Caterpillar Global Mining (formerly Bucyrus International) SD 4713 specification. VULTREX™ OGL SYNTHETIC 2200 is also approved by Komatsu for lubrication of slew ring gear on Komatsu hydraulic shovels.

VULTREX™ OGL SYNTHETIC ALL SEASON 680 is an aluminum complex based, solvent-free open gear lubricant. Its wide operating temperature range allows it to be used from fall through spring seasons at most mines. VULTREX™ OGL Synthetic All Season 680 resists water wash-off from the shovel stick or rack and pinion systems under all weather conditions, and has a low temperature limit of -40°C/-40°F. It meets the P&H 464 Open Gear Lubricant specification and the Caterpillar Global Mining (formerly Bucyrus International) SD 4713 specification. VULTREX™ OGL SYNTHETIC ALL SEASON 680 is approved by Komatsu for lubrication of slew ring gear on Komatsu hydraulic shovels.

VULTREX™ OGL HEAVY 6200 is an aluminum complex based, solvent-free open gear lubricant with higher viscosity and thicker consistency than the other VULTREX™ OGL lubricants. It is intended for the most demanding open gear lubrication requirements, including heavily loaded hoist gears and high temperature applications. It meets the P&H 464 Open Gear Lubricant specification and the Caterpillar Global Mining (formerly Bucyrus International) SD 4713 specification, including the special requirements for electric mining shovel hoist gear lubrication.

** Based on pumpability test, but is dependent on the design and type of the dispensing systems, length and diameter of the lines, the mode of application and rate of pressurization.
*** Measured before the addition of diluent, as per the Caterpillar Global Mining (formerly Bucyrus International) SD 4713 specification.
