Wind Turbine Cleaner

Varnish and Sludge Cleaner
Wind turbine gearbox lubricants perform in difficult environments. Shock loading, extended oil drain service intervals, temperature and humidity extremes can rapidly break down the best formulated lubricants, producing varnish and sludge as natural decomposition byproducts. Wind Turbine Cleaner is the most effective lubricating remove these performance robbing deposits.

Clean-Out Procedure:
Simply replace 10% of the existing oil charge with an equal amount of Wind Turbine Cleaner, and then operate normally for a minimum of 48 hours. As the warm oil is drained from the gearbox reservoir, the varnish, sludge, and carbonaceous gunk in suspension will be removed. If installed, check oil filters and change after the cleaning procedure. A thorough periodic cleaning of the gearbox lubricating system before a scheduled oil change ensures peak lubricant performance and restores the system to like-new condition.

Wind Turbine Cleaner is compatible with all commonly used lubricants, mineral or synthetic; and, all common elastomers, paints and plastics. Please consult your Simmons Synthetics representative for more information.
