Greasing your machines in the right way, What's in it for you?
Of course, you would like to start preparing a smoothly running lubrication program. But before you start, it is good to take a look at why lubrication is so important. Rotating parts in machines or vehicles must be lubricated to make them work smoothly. However, the importance of maintenance and lubrication is often underestimated.
That’s a pity because it has a significant impact on the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of a machine or vehicle.
WHAT INFLUENCE DOES (IN)CORRECT LUBRICATION HAVE ON YOUR MACHINES?
In a study conducted by a major component manufacturer, incorrect lubrication accounts for 54% of all bearing failures, a major cause of unplanned downtime and significant maintenance costs.
Most dropouts are caused by: pollution of bushings by dust, dirt and moisture; insufficient amounts of lubricant applied to bearings; or over-lubrication of important pivot points.
Manual lubrication practices also result in inefficient lubrication which brings wasted lube, environmental issues, safety issues, and higher labour costs.
Automatic Lubrication Systems (ALS) help eliminate these unplanned and unnecessary expenses by working as the dispenser of consistent and regular grease amounts needed in critical lubrication points even when a machine is in motion or in use.
