FLUIDS & GELS
For more than twenty years, LAAPSA has offered specific solutions for the lubrication of open gears, crowns, and large bearings subjected to high stresses, and in closed or semi-closed gearboxes used in the mining, cement, and sugar cane milling industries. By offering a variety of fluids and gels covering a wide range of viscosities, LAAPSA has successfully developed special industrial lubricants, including a line of products suitable for the food industry, backed by NSF H1 and H2 and SENASA H1 certifications. These products have unique properties, such as high and very high adhesion, translucent gels for inspecting mechanisms in operation, synthetic gels, and gels with solids.
Open Gears
At LAAPSA, we manufacture lubricants to improve the smoothness of gear surfaces.
In open gears, viscosity is the main factor for our lubricants, as they operate at low speeds (15 rpm), where viscosities of up to 2200 cst (AGMA 9005-E) are required.
Bearings
Synthetic technology lubricants that combine ultra-pure high-viscosity bases with synergistic EP/AW additives, ideal for the sugar industry and other heavy-duty applications. These lubricants arise from the need to replace asphalt-based lubricants with more suitable technologies that improve lubrication performance and significantly reduce environmental pollution levels.
