Mechanical cotton pickers have
been improved a great deal over the years. By the same
token --- a considerable amount of time, research, and
field testing has gone into the development of Texas
Refinery Corp.'s POLY TEMP.
The product is available in two different weights (#00
and #0) used as cotton picker spindle grease. |
Uses Quality Base Products
Made from quality grease thickeners and oils. The grease
thickener is well-known for its ability to resist water. The
base oils have been severely hydro-treated to remove undesirable
characteristics. The combination of quality thickener and
quality oil allows this product great flow ability (fluidity).
This fluidity allows it to properly lubricate in tough
applications. It still has ample body to give the protection
needed from a good grease lubricant. The nature of
POLY TEMP is
such that it resists thinning out under hot operating
conditions. In addition, it doesn't thicken up in idle hours to
the point of being so stiff that the cotton picker units have
difficulty starting in the cool, early morning hours. Undergoes
minimal viscosity change at temperatures from -20° F. to 250° F.
Resists Moisture and Dirt
Has good water resistance. It forms a seal at the point of
lubrication to prevent moisture or dirt from contaminating the
lubricated surface. By preventing moisture from entering the
bearing, it helps to eliminate corrosion.
Provides Consistent Lubrication
For most weather and field conditions,
POLY TEMP #00
is preferred for cotton pickers. However, in hotter climates,
some customers prefer the #0 grade or weight. Since
POLY TEMP is
a grease --- and yet is fluid enough to assure proper
lubrication of the spindles --- you can obtain consistent
lubrication under extreme field operating conditions. Your
grease consumption is lowered and downtime for re-lubricating
your cotton picker is reduced due to the long-lasting effects.
It's formulated to properly lubricate a cotton picker at
reasonable cost, helping give you profitable, trouble-free
operation.
Provides Peak Performance
Keeps the equipment operating during "harvest time", which helps
you get your cotton from the field to the gin faster. Properly
lubricated, spindles can operate at peak performance, plucking
cotton from bolls, rather than pulling or tearing. This can help
you obtain a "top quality" grading of the cotton. This means
more money in your pocket.
Economical (Field Proven)
Formulated to lubricate equipment to allow picking more acres of
cotton per pound of grease than other similar products now on
the market. Tests show it to be a superior product. Test began
each morning, before cotton was picked. The amount of
POLY TEMP was
weighed and pumped into the left side of a picker while a
competitive product was weighed and pumped into the right side.
The same procedure was used as the picker was re-greased. This
process was repeated with all seven competitive products over
three cotton picking seasons. The results ---
POLY TEMP ---
32 percent to 49 percent less product was needed to do the job!
As a
rule of thumb, it takes approximately 2 lbs. of
POLY TEMP per
acre of cotton to pick and scrape. The average varies from 1¾
lbs. to 2½ lbs. of POLY TEMP
per acre depending on the type of cotton picker and season.
Versatile
Capable of handling a wide variety of applications. The product
is made from a relatively light-weight oil, which gives the
grease the ability to handle high speed applications. Cotton
picker spindles are one type of high speed operation. Industry
also has other spindle type applications that are grease
lubricated and need a good high speed grease.
POLY
TEMP #00 and #0 are sometimes used
in gear cases of bat wing mowers found on golf courses.
POLY
TEMP #0 is sometimes used in
centralized lubrication equipment where the lubricant is pushed
through small lines to a wide variety of lubrication points.
There
are many other applications for this product. For instance, #00
weight has been used as a release agent on concrete forms. The
#0 weight has been used as a barrier in paint booths to keep
paint from sticking to walls.
