Some lubrication myths can impact your equipment performance, today with this article let’s understand and bust them : A. Lubricating industrial equipment is easy. This a complete myth whereas the actual fact is lubricating is highly detailed and complex. Some of the important decisions that one needs to take are: 1. Selection of proper oil & Grease for a machine. 2. Right place, right frequency and right volume of lubricant to be applied. 3. Proper flushing of lubricant tanks to ensure contamination-free lubricating lines. 4. Also applying grease is also an art; too much or too little of it can damage or blow seals. B. Minimal consequences and benefits are associated with routinely lubricating industrial equipment. This is also another myth whereas it has been seen that most events of downtime occur due to inadequate lubrication or due to the use of the wrong lubricant. Though lubricants cost about 1-3% of our total maintenance budget improper or wrong lubricatio

In our previous segments, we have discussed several aspects of Lubricant contamination and ways to prevent or treat that contamination. But, as we all know that for every company the maintenance budget is limited so focusing on all the factors is not possible. In such cases, The Pareto Principle comes handy. The Pareto Principle ( also known as the 80/20 rule ) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes . In terms of maintenance, it can be reflected upon as 20% of Machines cause 80% of the downtime. Few key causes that constitute this 20 % are:   Particle Contamination   Moisture Contamination Wrong/Degraded Lubricant   Misalignment   Imbalance  High Temperature. https://medium.com/@Aden.VaughanWilliams/can-you-apply-the-pareto-principle-to-recruitment-efe54234d657 We at  Minimac  study your maintenance needs and provide the highest quality & service quality solutions.  Call +91 7030901266 for Mechani
