New MX1

The new higher impact resistant version of ARC MX1 is starting to develop some impact of its own with customers looking for extended operating time of equipment subject to severe abrasion. One such case is at a wood based panel customer experiencing severe abrasion in their wood chip cyclones. ARC composites have been used in the cyclones with excellent results except for one key area, the cyclone inlet. 
Due to high speed particle impact at the inlet area the ARC products, including the old MX1, were only lasting a maximum 3 months before repair was needed.   
However, the new MX1 has now been in service for over 5 months and is still running as can be seen from the photos. Based on the remaining thickness of the MX1, it is expected that the MTBR with the new MX1 will be at least 2 years. Similar results have been seen at a pulp and paper customer where the new MX1 has extended the previous life of cyclone cleaners.

607 HTS is an EMEA formulated and manufactured, REACh compliant, High Temperature Chain Lubricant that was launched mid 2016. 

Complimentary to the 610 family manufactured in the US it allows us broaden our sales in major Industries.

It has slightly lower performance capabilities than 610 and allows us go after new applications where the temperature is lower or price sensitive applications where the high performance of 610 Family is not required.

Some of the Industries where we have successful applications include Ceramic Tile, Tire, Aluminum – Coating line, Plastic mesh production.  

Benefits seen by our customers versus our competitors include

• Low evaporation - Low oil consumption 
• Low Carbonization at High Temperatures - Low wear/increased chain life, reduced cleaning
• Natural Detergency - Ability to clean old residue, prevent solid sticking
