Lubricant Easy Bar for High-Temperature Industrial Applications
Rotary kilns, dryers, and calciners operate under extreme heat and continuous mechanical load, making tire bore lubrication one of the most critical maintenance tasks in cement and mineral plants. The lubricant easy bar is a solid polymer bar placed between the tire bore and kiln shell, melting on contact and distributing lubricant evenly across filler bars, wear pads, and riding rings through the kiln's own rotation.
Minimises wear on tire retainers, riding rings, and support pads in calciners, dryers, cement, and mineral plants. Reliable, clean, and efficient lubrication. We supply the Easy Bar range across 9210 and 9213 configurations, covering standard rotary kiln applications through to high-load, high-temperature operations requiring Almasol EP additive protection.
At Dutco Tennant LLC, our solid lubricant bars and industrial lubricant bars to cement plants, mineral processors, and heavy industrial operators across the UAE and GCC, sourced from established international manufacturers specialising in high-performance industrial lubrication solutions.
Built to Perform Under Pressure
- Easy bar lubricant melts cleanly at operating temperature, distributing lubricant across the full tire bore contact surface without residue.
- Prevents steel-on-steel contact between the kiln shell and riding ring, protecting filler bars, wear pads, and stop blocks from accelerated wear.
- Reduces shell ovality by maintaining consistent lubrication across the tire bore during thermal expansion and contraction cycles.
- Non-corrosive and non-hazardous formulation suits regular handling and application in high-temperature industrial environments.
- Applied by hand or with an insertion tool, reducing direct technician exposure to extreme kiln heat during routine maintenance.
Technical Attributes Worth Specifying
- Controlled Melt Point: Solid polymer binder melts at operating temperature, releasing mineral and metal lubricants evenly across filler bars and the tire bore contact surface.
- High Auto-Ignition Threshold: Bar does not auto-ignite below extremely high temperatures, protecting kiln operators and surrounding equipment.
- Almasol EP Additive: Proprietary solid wear-reducing additive in the 9210 formulation withstands heavy loads, forming a microscopic protective layer on metal surfaces.
- Zero Residue Formula: Polymer binder burns off cleanly during application, leaving no build-up on filler bars, riding rings, or refractory surfaces.
- Insertion Tool Compatible: Works with the Easy Bar insertion tool for safe uphill-side application while the kiln is in full operation.

FAQ
How do solid lubricant bars improve kiln maintenance?
They provide consistent lubrication between tire bores and kiln shells, reducing wear on filler bars, riding rings, and support pads under high-temperature conditions.
Can the Easy Bar lubricant be applied while the kiln is in operation?
Yes, the solid bar format allows safe application during full operation, eliminating the need for shutdowns.
What advantages do industrial lubricant bars offer over traditional liquid lubricants?
They ensure residue-free application, minimise contamination, and maintain consistent lubrication even in extreme heat and mechanical load conditions.
How do solid lubricant bars protect critical kiln components?
They prevent steel-on-steel contact, reduce mechanical stress, and help stabilise the tire-to-shell interface during thermal expansion and contraction cycles.
Are industrial lubricant bars suitable for all kiln sizes?
Yes, bar quantities and dimensions can be tailored to small dryers, large cement kilns, and mineral processing kilns for effective lubrication coverage.
How does Easy Bar lubricant support technician safety?
Using the bars with an insertion tool reduces direct exposure to extreme heat, allowing precise and safe uphill-side application.
