Shell Gadus S3 Repair

Shell Gadus S3 Repair is a high performance sprayable running-in Aluminium Complex Grease, based on a part synthetic base oil blend and contains micronised graphite as solid lubricant.

The product chemistry is designed to cause a well-controlled smoothening process to reduce surface roughness on new and damaged open gearing.

Performance, Features & Benefits

Shell Gadus S3 Repair not only reduces surface roughness of first time operating open gears but also improves used tooth flanks surface with a “cleaning” and corrective effect allowing longer life operation. The product can also be used in case of light tooth damage smoothing surface roughness on the load carrying tooth flanks and increasing the contact area.

Superior Running In performance

Shell Gadus S3 Repair’s advanced formulation ensures a well-controlled smoothening process through chemical reaction in the zones being under higher load. This controlled wear process allows the gearing to obtain the maximum load distribution between the girth and pinion gearing.

 Periodic smooth lapping of tooth profile It is considered to be a good maintenance practice to apply a 180 kg drum of Gadus S3 Repair once per year, or every 6000 hrs of operation, to remove fatigue micro-cracks or micro-pitting (not really visible to the naked eye) well before they increase in size, causing long term future irreversible damage.

Environmental advices

Shell Gadus S3 Repair is bitumen and solvent free.

Main Applications

For mining, cement, steel industries and power stations, open gears on grinding mills, rotary kilns and dryers.

Shell Gadus S3 Repair is a ready-to-use product, which can be applied through conventional automatic lubrication spraying systems or manual pressurized-air hand spraying equipment.

It is important to consult the appropriate consumption charts to determine the specified quantities of lubricant to apply. Incorrect consumption quantities could result in tooth damage.
