Fire-resistant hydraulic fluid is not in this catalog
Hydraulic systems near molten metal, such as die casting machines and some furnace equipment, often require a fire-resistant fluid by the maker’s or insurer’s rules. This catalog does not carry fire-resistant hydraulic fluids; never substitute a mineral or synthetic hydraulic oil where one is required.
Heat and dust shorten grease life
Bearings near furnaces and shakeouts run hot and dirty. Use the high-temperature grease the bearing maker lists, and shorten intervals where the maker’s severe-service guidance applies.
Products by equipment.
Confirm the lubricant type, grade, and specifications in each equipment manual before ordering.
Sand systems and shakeouts
Mullers, shakeouts, and sand conveyors see heavy shock loads and abrasive dust. Follow the maker’s grease type and interval, and keep fittings clean.

What grease suits shakeout bearings?
The grease type and grade the shakeout or bearing maker lists for shock load and temperature.
