Omala S 3 GP

Special Application Industrial Gear Oils

Shell Omala S3 GP oils are specialist „problem solving‟ lubricants developed to lubricate industrial gearboxes subject to extremely high and heavily shock loaded operations such as those found in steel, cement, mining and quarrying industries. They are formulated for use where ultra-high levels of extreme-pressure performance are required.

Performance Benefits

Long oil life – Maintenance saving

Shell Omala S3 GP oils are formulated to resist thermal and chemical breakdown throughout the maintenance interval. They help resist the formation of sludge to provide good oil life capability even at temperatures up to 100 o C.

Excellent wear & corrosion protection

Shell Omala S3 GP oils are formulated with high levels of extreme pressure and anti-wear additives properties to help ensure optimal gear and bearing protection even under the severest operating conditions.

Shell Omala S3 GP has excellent corrosion protection, protecting steel components, even in the presence of contamination by water and solids.

Maintaining system efficiency

Shell Omala S3 GP oils have excellent water separation properties, such that excess water can be drained easily from lubrication systems to help maintain the integrity of critical oil films and extend the life of the gears.

Applications

Highly loaded gears

Shell Omala S3 GP oils are designed for use in enclosed industrial gear systems subject to severe operating conditions including high shock loading applications

Worn or damaged gears

These oils can be used in older gear systems that may be damaged or misaligned. The extreme pressure performance provides additional protection in such applications.

Other applications

Shell Omala S3 GP oils are suitable for lubrication of bearings and other components in circulating and splash-lubricated systems

For normal load applications the other Shell Omala “G” series oils are recommended. For automotive hypoid gears, the appropriate Shell Spirax Oil should be used.
