Industrial machinery

Graphite and carbon for industrial machinery: ESGRAF advises on material selection and application support across Mexico and the Americas.

[ Industry description ]

Graphite bushings, seals, lubricants, and parts for plant machinery and equipment.

Industrial machinery concentrates bushings, seals, chains, guides, and mechanisms that fail from friction or temperature. Graphite and carbon-graphite offer self-lubricating and dry-lubricant alternatives for those points.

ESGRAF helps specify the component or lubricant based on load, speed, and environment.

[ Related graphite applications ]

Machine bushings and spacers
They reduce friction and wear on moving components in high-temperature and demanding atmospheres.
Machine seal rings
Graphite and carbon-graphite seal rings for precision rotary and static applications.
Centrifugal pump blades
Graphite/carbon-graphite vanes for pumps and rotating equipment. Also machined graphite impellers or rotors when the design calls for a one-piece rotating element.
Machine wear components
Wear components in graphite and carbon-graphite: plates, guides, inserts, and dry-friction parts.
Machine sliding plates
They are used in float glass handling and general casting, allowing stable flow on a non-stick surface.
Machine rotary bushing inserts
They improve the durability and performance of bushings in rotating systems.
Sealing monoblock gaskets
They provide hermetic sealing in engines and mechanical systems.
Forge lubrication
Graphite release coating for hot forging that protects the die and eases part release.
Cold-forming lubrication
Graphite coating for cold stamping, deep drawing, and bending with an even lubricating film.
Shaft and axle lubrication
Dry-film graphite lubricant for shafts, axles, and metal wheels under load.
Dry lubrication
It acts as a solid lubricant in applications where oils or greases cannot be used.
Conveyor chain lubrication
Facilitates the movement of parts in systems subjected to high temperatures, avoiding jams and wear.
Extrusion piston lubrication
Reduces friction and improves efficiency in pistons subjected to high pressures and temperatures.
Sanding belt lubrication
Protection of the back of sandpaper to reduce friction and wear, minimizing breakage and shifting.
Trailer fifth-wheel lubrication
Ecological fifth-wheel lubrication with GRAFOPAD™ solid pads: under crush they smear and leave lubricating graphite particles.
Agricultural machinery lubrication
Protects moving components of agricultural machinery against wear and corrosion.
Grain hopper lubrication
Facilitates the flow of grains in hoppers, avoiding blockages and reducing friction.
Seed lubrication
Facilitates the handling and sowing of seeds, avoiding jams in agricultural machinery.
Tortilla machine lubrication
Facilitates the movement of parts in food machinery, ensuring smooth operation.
Stamping die lubrication
Improves the performance and lifespan of dies in cutting and stamping processes.
Lubricating paints
They provide lubricating properties to painted surfaces for specific applications.
Furnace demolding paint
Graphite paints and coatings for release and anti-stick duty in furnaces and thermal fixtures.
