Lubrication

1 Splitting cylinder
2 Screwdriver
3 Splitting wedge
4 Pressure piece
Fig. 4-3 - 1 Lubricating the pressure pieces and the wedge
Operation without or with insufficient lubrication usually leads to the cold
welding of the splitting head and possibly to the destruction of the splitter!
Before all splitting work, check whether the pressure surfaces of the split-
ting wedge and the pressure pieces are sufficiently lubricated! Lubricate
the pressure surfaces at the latest after 3 to 5 splittings! Solely use the
Darda special lubricant paste!
Procedure for lubrication:
Spread the splitting head with a screw driver or similar instrument and use a
spatula to apply a thin layer of Darda special lubricant paste on the pressure
surfaces and pressure pieces and the splitting wedge.
Advantages of the Darda special lubricant paste:
– The special lubricant paste is the result of many years of experience.
– Significant reduction of the high frictional forces. Maximum achievable splitting
force (splitting force with conventional lubricants 20 - 50 % lower).
– Lower wear and replacement part needs and thus cost savings.
