Supplier for specialist greases

[the black box]

My ironworker recommends the above greases. Just wondering if anyone knew of any suppliers for the above

Also does hydraulic oil have a specific lifespan, the machine is a 2011 and I don’t think it’s ever been changed.

I’m using it a lot at the minute so want to make sure it’s looked after.

Worth a call. Only used them for paint but had good service.

In my experience hydraulic oil if it's clean and the filter get changed 'periodically' it's good.

Someone will be along shortly to contradict above statement.

Probably depends on application.

Hydraulic oil depends on how much stress is under. If it gets hot regularly then it will be advisable to change it.

Or Opie Oils, very approachable and you can phone them and they're quite happy to discuss the requirements for the machine.

I have also found Rock oil to be very helpful.

I got some specialist wind turbine grease from www.silgo.co.uk

They were quite helpful in suggesting a suitable equivalent.

Had to wait for mobil to manufactire it though and buy a a whole box of cartridges at great expense

Thanks all will do a bit more searching. Appears to be a form of lithium grease only to grease the main slider.

Hydraulic oil I’d imagaine is getting hot regularly whole machine gets warm particularly in this weather can be on nearly all day. Like today I had 800 holes to punch and then close to 1000 folds.

Will look at giving it a service got another job coming up which will require around 2000 holes punched and a load of notching.

If I need any unusual grease or oil I pop into my local mobil oils agent, give him the recommended grease details & he gets me the mobil equivalent.
