Food Grade Worm Drive Gearbox Lubrication - No 6 Fluidised Gel - NIGL 0
Slipstream No 6 Gel is specifically designed for use in worm-drive gearboxes.
No 6 Gel is formulated from FDA approved ingredients and has USDA H1 food grade approval for lubricants with incidental food contact.
Gearboxes may be filled with No 6 Gel by grease gun or by pressurised bucket dispenser; a flexible hose fitted to the gun or dispenser head makes the job easier. Flush out the old oil before adding the gel; any oil residue will not present a major problem, as the gel is compatible with petroleum based oils and greases.
A conversion table to work out the quantity of gel required is set out below.
- 1 litre of oil is equal to 900 grams of No 6 Gel
- 1 imperial pint of oil is equal to 500 grams of No 6 Gel
