Sustainable solutions for golf course maintenance
Coursemanagers and greenkeepers are responsible for the maintenance, care and overall appearance of a golf course. It is their job to maintain a good playing surface and ensure the course offers a consistent challenge and an enjoyable experience to golfers.
Equipment, like mowers, are exposed to harsh conditions as dust, sand, grass, moisture and water, setting high demands to the lubricants used. Our MicPol® technology helped already more than 120 golf courses worldwide to keep equipment availability at its maximum, at the same time respecting the environment.
Some applications at Golf courses
Cylinder mower blade bearings
Moisture and sand cause the bearings in the mower blade to seize up. High-pressure cleaning of the machine saponifies the grease and washes it out of the bearings, causing misalignments and unevenness in the mowing. The mower manufacturer recommends to lubricate the bearings once a week or every 50 hours.
Interflon Grease MP2/3 is a multi-purpose grease with MicPol® technology, for components that work at high speeds. It is the perfect solution to the constant seizing of the roller bearings. With a conventional grease, these bearings need to be changed twice a year. Using Interflon Grease MP2/3 our customers go through a mowing season without changing them. The grease does not drip onto the course and the lubrication frequency can be halved to every 100 hours.
Tip: prevent spilling and make greasing more effective with the Interflon G-coupler.
Clean chains of green punching equipment
Sand and grass (juices) stick to 'wet' conventional lubricants, creating an abrasive paste on the chain. This obstructs penetration into the pins and bushings and provokes premature wear. Frequent cleaning and relubrication is common practice.
Interflon Lube TF is a penetrating oil with MicPol®, leaving a dry lubrication film in the pins and bushes and protecting them from corroding. It easily repels sand and grass, so easy to clean them. Thanks to the MicPol® particles lubrication intervals can be extended considerably, at the same time increasing chain life. First clean the chains with our effective, biodegradable Interflon Metal Clean F.
