Shell Morlina S1 B 320
Shell Morlina S1 B 320 is a high-performance industrial bearing and circulating oil designed to provide dependable lubrication and protection for a wide range of industrial machinery and circulating system applications. Formulated using high-quality solvent refined base oils, the lubricant is engineered to deliver reliable performance in systems where effective lubrication, long oil life and equipment protection are essential. It is particularly suitable for industrial processes where water separation is important for maintaining system performance and protecting machinery components.
One of the key advantages of Shell Morlina S1 B 320 is its ability to provide reliable wear protection for bearings and circulating lubrication systems. Industrial machinery often operates under continuous load, placing stress on bearings and mechanical components. The oil forms a durable lubricating film between moving metal surfaces that helps reduce friction and minimise wear. By maintaining this protective oil film, Shell Morlina S1 B 320 helps extend the service life of bearings and critical system components while supporting consistent equipment performance in demanding operating environments.
The lubricant also offers excellent water separation characteristics. In many industrial environments, lubrication systems may be exposed to water contamination from condensation, cooling systems or process conditions. Shell Morlina S1 B 320 is formulated to promote rapid demulsification, allowing water to separate easily from the oil. This helps ensure that the lubricant retains a strong protective film between highly loaded surfaces while allowing water contamination to be removed through standard filtration or centrifuge systems. Effective water separation helps protect equipment from corrosion and ensures reliable lubrication performance.
Another important benefit of the oil is its good air release properties. Air entrainment within circulating oil systems can lead to cavitation damage in pumps and reduced lubrication efficiency. Shell Morlina S1 B 320 is formulated to release entrained air quickly, helping maintain stable lubrication performance and ensuring efficient operation of pumps and circulating lubrication systems. This contributes to improved system reliability and reduced maintenance requirements.
Shell Morlina S1 B 320 also provides good oxidation resistance, helping maintain lubricant stability during prolonged operation at elevated temperatures. Oxidation stability helps reduce oil degradation and sludge formation, extending oil service life and reducing maintenance costs. This helps ensure that industrial equipment can operate efficiently and reliably over extended service intervals.
The product is suitable for use in 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 320 meets the Morgan MORGOIL® lubricant specification and DIN 51517-1 Type C standard, confirming its suitability for many industrial lubrication systems.
Physical characteristics include an ISO viscosity grade of 320 with a kinematic viscosity of approximately 320 mm²/s at 40°C and 24.6 mm²/s at 100°C. The oil has a density of approximately 891 kg/m³ at 15°C, a flash point of approximately 255°C and a pour point of approximately –6°C, supporting reliable lubrication performance across typical industrial operating conditions.
