Lubrication Engineers NZ Ltd Lubrication Engineers are suppliers of high-performance Lubricants, Lubrication Equipment

Investing in better performing lubricants can make your plant more reliable by protecting your equipment and keeping it running longer and more efficiently. LE NZ Ltd distributes a comprehensive line of high-performance lubricants that far exceed conventional lubricants in a variety of industrial and automotive applications. By significantly reducing downtime and maintenance costs, LE lubricants a

re also cost-effective, returning the initial price of the lubricant many times over. LE's enhanced lubricants are made of highly refined based oils – either petroleum- or synthetic-based – as well as the following proprietary additives, which LE developed for exclusive use in its lubricants. Almasol® solid wear-reducing additive is able to withstand extremely heavy loads, chemical attack and temperatures up to 1,900°F (1,038°C). It is attracted to metal surfaces, forming a microscopic layer but not building on itself or affecting clearances. Monolec® liquid wear-reducing additive creates a single molecular lubricating film on metal surfaces, vastly increasing film strength without affecting clearances. Duolec® dual-acting additive imparts synergistic properties to lubricants, providing both wear-reducing and extreme pressure protection. It increases film strength and is temperature-activated to provide a protective layer. Quinplex® impact-resistant additive contributes to outstanding water resistance, tackiness and mechanical stability, and helps to form a barrier against corrosion.

Benefits of Using LE 4072 H1 Quincal™ Syn FG Grease

LE 4072 is designed for demanding food-processing environments where water, washdowns, heat and heavy loads can quickly challenge ordinary food-grade greases.

H1 food-grade protection: Suitable for food-processing equipment where incidental food contact may occur.

Exceptional water and washdown resistance: Calcium sulfonate complex technology helps the grease resist being washed out of bearings during frequent cleaning and sanitation.

Excellent bearing protection: Strong anti-wear and extreme-pressure performance helps protect bearings under heavy loads and demanding operating conditions.

Superior rust and corrosion protection: Particularly valuable in wet, humid and corrosive food-production environments.

Stays where it's needed: Excellent tackiness and mechanical stability help LE 4072 remain in the lubrication zone rather than leaking, washing away or being thrown off.

Wide operating-temperature capability: Synthetic base oil provides reliable lubrication across a broad temperature range, including higher-temperature food-processing applications.

Longer grease life: Strong oxidation and mechanical stability can help extend lubrication intervals when operating conditions allow.

Potentially longer bearing life: Better resistance to water, wear and corrosion can reduce premature bearing failures.

Reduced maintenance and downtime: Longer-lasting lubrication can mean fewer grease applications, fewer bearing replacements and less unplanned production downtime.

Excellent choice for automatic lubricators: Its NLGI 2 consistency and stability can make it suitable for many single-point lubrication applications, subject to the lubricator and operating conditions.

The big advantage: LE 4072 isn't simply an H1 grease. It combines food-grade compliance with the performance characteristics needed in tough industrial environments, making it particularly useful where equipment is subjected to daily washdowns, moisture, heavy loads or elevated temperatures.

11 Years. 550 Litres of Oil Saved. One Gearbox Protected.

The Challenge
A Rexnord Drum Drive gearbox at an asphalt plant required replacement following a failure while operating with a conventional commercial gear oil. With the replacement gearbox costing approximately $60,000, protecting the new asset from premature wear and maximising its service life became a priority.

Historically, the company had carried out annual oil changes, replacing approximately 50 litres of commercial gear oil every year.

The LE Solution
After reviewing the application, Chris recommended LE Duolec® Industrial Gear Lubricant LE1605 for the new gearbox to provide outstanding wear protection and help maximise gearbox reliability and service life.
Rather than continuing with time-based annual oil changes, Chris recommended a condition-based lubrication and monitoring programme, including:
• Duolec® LE1605 high-performance gear lubricant
• Annual oil analysis to monitor lubricant and gearbox condition
• Xclude™ Desiccant Breather to help prevent moisture and airborne contaminants from entering the gearbox
• Xtract™ Oil Sight Glass to allow easy visual monitoring of oil condition

Together, these measures help keep the lubricant clean, dry and fit for service while providing ongoing insight into the condition of the gearbox.

The Results
Through the use of Duolec® LE1605, contamination control and annual oil analysis, the lubricant has remained suitable for continued service.

The oil drain interval has now been extended to an impressive:

11 YEARS AND COUNTING

Previously, approximately 50 litres of oil was replaced every year. Over 11 years, extending the oil drain interval has avoided approximately:

550 LITRES OF REPLACEMENT OIL

The result is significantly reduced lubricant consumption, oil disposal requirements, maintenance labour and servicing costs, while helping protect a critical and expensive gearbox.

From Annual Oil Changes to Condition-Based Maintenance

This application demonstrates how the right lubricant, effective contamination control and regular oil analysis can deliver significant improvements in equipment reliability, maintenance costs and environmental sustainability.

Duolec® Industrial Gear Oil Delivers Outstanding Long-Term Performance

Adopting sustainable lubrication practices is not only environmentally responsible, it also makes sound business sense. A well-managed lubrication program can significantly improve equipment reliability, maximise uptime, and reduce overall operating costs.

Premium-quality lubricants, such as Duolec® Industrial Gear Oil, are engineered to provide exceptional protection over extended service intervals. Longer oil life means fewer oil changes, reduced maintenance, lower lubricant consumption, and less waste, helping both your bottom line and the environment.

The oil analysis snapshots below demonstrate the outstanding performance of Duolec® Industrial Gear Oil in two different gearboxes. With regular oil analysis and condition monitoring, the lubricant has remained in service for more than 10 years, continuing to protect critical equipment while maintaining excellent oil condition.

This is a powerful example of how combining premium lubricants with a proactive oil analysis program can maximise equipment life, reduce maintenance costs, and support a more sustainable operation.
