Delivery chains lubrication

Hi we have a SM74 with a high pile delivery just want to get some feedback on what type of oil is best to use on the delivery chains we have a automatic Lincon Quicklub applying the lubrication

Thanks

 

info shoouid be available in press manual that or call heidelbreg

 

Hi Spikeboy, I did look in the manual it mentions all other lubricants and frequency but not the chains
will try giving Heidelberg a call.

 

What year is your SM74? The older ones did not have special grease for the delivery. Lubricant was the press oil pumped directly to the delivery gripper chain guides. I cant remember if the newer machines use special delivery grease or not.

 

Once an engineer advised me to use ELKALUB LA8 on delivery chains, couldn't find it in my country. Usually we use any viscous oil on chains, I don't know its right or wrong.

 

Dear friend,
we use for our pm 74-4 machine saphira lubricant HP 2 (GLP 500) Part no 00.580.4702/01.we don't use any grease for delivery chain.
But our sm 102-4-p3 we use saphira HP 1(LA 8P) PART NO 00.580.5591 for delivery chain.
please see atachment.
Thank you-Kosala Fernando.

 

its about a 79 model Heidelberg are recommending Optimol Viscogen 4

 

Do you have an SM74 or a Speedmaster 72?

 

OP mentioned SM74.

 

OP also mentions that he has a 79 model Heidelberg, which is not an SM74 more likely a 72 and the SM 74 does not have seperate chain lubrication, it uses main press lubrication for chain lube.

 

I thought you were referring to the 1st post.

 

Thanks Asif, I was kind of refering to his original post and his clarification of the machine farther down. In his original post he does say that he has an SM74 and later he says that its a 1979 model. If his machine was built in 1979 I know its not an SM74, maybe I misread his posts.

 

Exheid?? Is that really you? Do I detect a hint of humility in your post? And, your comment comes up as being posted @5:30 PM. Not midnight, or the wee hours of the morning. Surely we have an imposter within our midst!! You know I'm smiling through this, right? . Hope you're having a good weekend! You just made mine!

 

Hmmm, not sure how to take that comment. Never really thought about what time I post. Thanks for your thought and hope your having a good weekend as well.

 

All in fun, Exheid. Thanks for posting your experiences. I've actually printed some out for reference.

 

Its all good, glad to have helped you out in some way

 

No, I misread the second post, I didn't read the name. My apologies.
