JAX Magna-Plate 78 – Food Grade Lubricating Oil

Applications

• Chain and Cable Lubrication—The superior lubricating film, either drip or brush applied, is especially effective at protecting rollers, cams, slides, cables, wire ropes and chains (e.g. silent, monorail, main and final chains, particularly where metal flaking is a problem) at slow to medium speeds.
• Gear and Bearing Lubrication—For years, JAX Magna- Plate 78 has protected enclosed spur and bevel gears driven by fractional horsepower motors at slow to medium speeds. It has proven highly effective in plain, sleeve, ball and roller bearing applications in slow- to medium-speed operating environments (e.g. corn cutters).
• Can Seaming Lubrication—JAX Magna-Plate 78 fluids are used extensively in high-speed can seamers that require enhanced wear protection and long component life.

Compatibility

JAX Magna-Plate 78 is compatible with mineral oils, synthetic lubricants*, and seals. For optimum performance, it is recommended that systems be thoroughly drained and, if warranted, cleaned prior to installation.

JAX Magna-Plate 78 is a demulsifying lubricant intended for can closers processing low-fructose or corn syrup products where minimal migration of processed product to the lubricating fluid is present. It provides optimum water and contamination separation.

JAX Magna-Plate 78E is an emulsifying/dispersant lubricant intended for can closers processing products containing higher levels of fructose or corn syrup sweeteners. In these cases, oils without emulsifying characteristics do not have the ability to dissolve and carry away sugars that may plate out on lubricated parts and cause component wear.

*JAX Magna-Plate 78 fluids, as well as other mineral-based lubricants, are not compatible with most poly-glycol-type lubricants. Thorough flushing prior to changeover is required.
