Metalube, global high-performance lubricants supplier, has announced that its Metachain CB-310 and Metachain CB-633 oils have received full approval from continuous press manufacturer Dieffenbacher.

Metalube said its Metachain CB-310, formulated for bending rods and chains, and Metachain CB-633 for belts and rollers, are designed for modern press environments presenting ever-increasing challenges, including higher thermal stress, longer lubrication cycles, and greater mechanical loads. 

The development of Metachain CB-310 and CB-633 involved laboratory testing and extensive real-world trials using advanced analytical techniques such as high-pressure differential scanning calorimetry (HP-DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and oscillating friction and wear (SRV) testing. 

“Approval from Dieffenbacher represents a significant achievement and highlights the technical excellence of our Metachain range,” said Matthew Buffin, Commercial Manager at Metalube.

“We have developed these lubricants specifically to cope with the extreme conditions present in today’s continuous presses, and this endorsement reinforces our commitment to helping customers maximise efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership.”
