Shell Morlina S1 B 220
Shell Morlina S1 B 220 is a high-performance industrial bearing and circulating oil designed to provide reliable lubrication and protection for a wide range of industrial machinery applications. Formulated with high-quality solvent refined base oils, the lubricant delivers dependable performance in circulation systems where equipment reliability and consistent lubrication are essential. It is particularly suited to industrial processes where effective water separation is important for maintaining equipment efficiency and extending the life of machinery.
One of the key advantages of Shell Morlina S1 B 220 is its ability to provide strong wear protection for bearings and circulating lubrication systems. Industrial equipment often operates continuously under load, which can place significant stress on bearings and mechanical components. Shell Morlina S1 B 220 forms a durable lubricating film between moving metal surfaces that helps reduce friction and minimise wear. By maintaining this protective oil film, the lubricant supports longer equipment life and helps ensure reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
The oil also provides excellent water separation characteristics, which are essential for industrial lubrication systems exposed to moisture or water contamination. Effective demulsification allows water to separate quickly from the oil, ensuring that the lubricant maintains a strong protective film between loaded components. This capability helps protect equipment against corrosion and ensures consistent lubrication performance even when water contamination is present. Once separated, water can be removed easily through filtration or centrifuge systems to maintain clean lubrication circuits.
Another important benefit of Shell Morlina S1 B 220 is its good air release properties. Air entrained within circulating lubrication systems can reduce lubrication efficiency and lead to cavitation in pumps. The oil is formulated to release air quickly, helping maintain stable lubrication performance and ensuring efficient operation of circulating pumps and lubrication systems. This contributes to improved system reliability and reduced maintenance requirements.
Shell Morlina S1 B 220 also offers good resistance to oxidation and oil degradation. Industrial equipment frequently operates at elevated temperatures, which can accelerate lubricant breakdown. The oil’s oxidation stability helps maintain its protective properties over extended service intervals, supporting longer oil life and reducing maintenance costs. This stability helps ensure consistent lubrication performance and reliable equipment operation over time.
The lubricant is suitable for use in a wide range of industrial applications including machine circulation systems, oil-lubricated plain and rolling element bearings, roll-neck bearings and lightly loaded enclosed gear systems where extreme pressure performance is not required. Shell Morlina S1 B 220 meets the Morgan MORGOIL® lubricant specification and the DIN 51517-1 Type C standard, confirming its suitability for many industrial lubrication systems.
Physical characteristics include an ISO viscosity grade of 220 with a kinematic viscosity of approximately 220 mm²/s at 40°C and 19.2 mm²/s at 100°C. The oil has a density of approximately 887 kg/m³ at 15°C, a flash point of approximately 249°C and a pour point of approximately –6°C, supporting reliable lubrication performance in typical industrial operating conditions.
