In the global textile industry, margins are shrinking while expectations rise. From maintaining quality to achieving energy efficiency, textile processors today are expected to deliver more—faster, cleaner, and more reliably. Yet, behind every high-quality textile product lies a critical mechanical backbone: the performance of your stenter frames and finishing line machinery.
At the heart of that performance lies chain lubrication.
Klübersynth HM 8-200 BH is engineered for just that—a high-performance synthetic chain oil designed to withstand extreme conditions while enhancing productivity in textile finishing applications. This high-temperature lubricant has emerged as the go-to solution for reducing maintenance efforts and avoiding production downtime in the most demanding textile environments.
The industry reality: Under pressure and overworked
From compactors and steamers to dryers and stenter machines, today’s textile finishing equipment must operate continuously under punishing thermal and mechanical stress. Chains are expected to perform at speeds ranging from 10 to 200 meters per minute, and temperatures up to 250 °C—all while exposed to steam, dust, and aggressive chemicals.
Frequent re-lubrication (as often as every 3 hours), unplanned stoppages due to chain sticking, or residue build-up in the system can all lead to lost production hours and skyrocketing maintenance costs.In such conditions, conventional chain oils fall short.
The Klüber Solution: Klübersynth HM 8-200 BH
Klübersynth HM 8-200 BH is a fully synthetic, high-temperature chain oil that has been specifically formulated for textile industry needs. It effectively lubricates chain links and slide rails under varying mechanical stress—be it high speeds, fluctuating temperatures, or aggressive working conditions.
This advanced formulation features:
•Thermal stability up to 250 °C
Maintains consistent viscosity and film strength at elevated temperatures, preventing oil degradation and carbon residue formation.
•Excellent viscosity-temperature behavior
Performs reliably across a wide temperature range—from startup at low ambient temperatures (-20 °C) to high operating temperatures (250 °C), ensuring continuous lubrication without dry spots.
•Low Residue, high cleanliness
Reduces varnish and sludge build-up, which minimizes the need for manual chain cleaning, keeping production lines running longer and more reliably.
•Outstanding friction and wetting performance
Ensures smooth, consistent motion of chain components—even under high stretching tension and varying load conditions.
Measurable gains that matter
–Reduced maintenance downtime
Extended cleaning intervals mean fewer halts in production. Your chains run cleaner and longer.
-Lower oil consumption
Thanks to superior adhesion and thermal resistance, oil top-ups are less frequent—cutting costs without compromising performance.
-Enhanced equipment lifespan
Minimized metal-to-metal contact leads to reduced wear and increased lifespan of expensive chains and slide rails.
-Smoother machine operation
Optimized pumpability ensures compatibility with centralized lubrication systems—delivering oil where it’s needed, when it’s needed.
-Higher throughput and efficiency
Machines operate longer and more efficiently without interruption, supporting higher textile output per shift.
Where it works best
Klübersynth HM 8-200 BH is ideally suited for:
-Stenter frames: Fabric conveyor chains operating at high temperatures and speeds
-Compactors and steamers: Moist environments prone to corrosion
-Dryers and heat setting machines: Where thermal degradation of conventionallubricants is common
-Printing machines: Precision chain systems requiring minimal residue and smoothoperationIts performance has made it a trusted solution across various segments of textile finishing—ensuring reliability in even the most aggressive operating environments.
Sustainability through efficiency
Choosing Klübersynth HM 8-200 BH is not just a maintenance decision—it’s a sustainability strategy.
Lower lubricant consumption, extended equipment life, and minimized energy losses through smoother operations all contribute to:
•Reduced carbon footprint
•Leaner operations with fewer spare parts
•Less frequent disposal of used oils
This makes it a responsible choice for companies looking to align production with long-term environmental and economic goals.
