![]() Is anybody an expert on oil types? I have a power feeder used on a woodworking machine: http://www.ukfelder.co.uk/ Accessories -- Power Feeders - F48 These are OEMed from an Italian manufacturer, Maggi Engineering, specialising in this type of equipment http://www.maggi-engineering.com/web/maggi/livesite/scheda.asp?ID=3|12|21&L=2 http://tinyurl.com/4f8dc Everything works well and documentation is readable, but at some point maintenance lubrication will be needed. Inevitably, Italian products are mentioned. THere are two requirements on the machine: a) A grease for the lubrication nipples on the wheel bearings. This is mentioned as Athesia EP/2 IP grease. I can't find a reference to that product, but I can find a reference to EP2 and EP/2 grease from other vendors. b) An oil for a sump in the body of the machine used to lubricate the internal gears. For this, Oleoblitz EHT 16 or any other oil with viscosity SAE 30. I haven't been able to find oil of this type in the obvious places like Halfords. It seems to be multigrade engine oil and not much more. Please can anybody shed light on what these lubricants are and suggest some suitable products that are more reasily available. thanks ..andy To email, substitute .nospam with .gl |
