Lubricants

 Lubricant is the blood of the equipment !!!

It provides frictionless operation and longevity to the Equipment. The use of the right lubricant saves equipment from wear and tear and minimizes maintenance and repair costs. 

Taking care of lubricants and maintaining these properties are an essential part of maintenance activity. Condition monitoring and timely filtration ensure contamination-free Oil, flawless operation, and rare incidents of a mechanical breakdown.

Inventory management & identification plays a vital role in machinery and plant maintenance. To know more about the importance of inventory management, click here.

CHALLENGES OF LUBRICANT!!

Lubricants face many challenges in providing lubrication to mechanical equipment, depending on the environment they operate in.


Temperature Fluctuations, Heat, Heavy Load, Entrained Air, etc. are some of the challenges faced by Lubricants. These challenges invite different types of contaminations which reduce the life of the equipment and hinder the smooth flow of operation.

Dealing with such challenges is not easy and demands regular checks of oil and equipment. Lubricants need periodic purification to eliminate contaminants.

You must have faced these challenges while dealing with lubricants. Are you thinking about opting for advanced and new methods for purifying lubricants? Visit us.

Your Oil & Equipment suffer due to these contaminations!!

Contamination in oil can exist in different forms which are disastrous to equipment and lead to mechanical breakdown.


The mechanical breakdown not only adds to the cost of repair & maintenance but also hinders the operations. In today's competitive environment, being prepared for future contingencies is really important for sustainable growth.

This is the reason why timely condition monitoring and Oil purification practices are very important.

We at Minimac Systems provide future-ready technologies to throw all types of contamination out of your oil to increase equipment reliability.

Control System Of Turbine - Failure & Maintenance

Image
Control System The turbine control system describes the control over the opening of control valves corresponding to demand signals, and steam flows into the turbine with the help of a governing system that facilitates the operation of the turbo set in an interconnected grid system. Governing system is responsible for various function such as speed & load control functions, the start-up/shut-down controls, the over-speed control, turbine stress calculation, to control the initial run-up and synchronization of the Unit, to assists in matching the power generated to that demanded by responding to system frequency changes, to regulate the steam control valves position (and hence the load generated)in response to signal from the operator or from the load dispatch Centre, to restrict the speed rise within acceptable limits should the unit get disconnected (islanding) from the lgridoad and some protective trip functions. With continuous research and developments in modern turbine technolo

 The secret recipe of the growth story at Minimac Syste ms has been its capability to drive technological advancement in the field of contamination control for lubrication reliability. Research and development on technology and products have always been the key reason to keep the Minimac products a step ahead of its competitors in the market. Technological development has been one of the core competencies which Minimac possesses, thereby ensuring a definite competitive advantage. Contaminations in lubricants are of various types and characteristics depending on the lubricant, equipment application, ambient conditions, age of equipment, etc. In order to control, separate or eliminate the contamination, there are multiple techniques. Each technique has pros and cons and hence there is no single technology that can be considered universally better than others. ​ Minimac Systems over the years has become equipped with almost all the technologies which are required for contaminat

Storage Management of Oil Products and its Importance.

Image
Product storage is an important criterion for any segment of products. It plays a vital role in the longevity of the products, every product in any form has a certain life period and this life period forms the baseline of the product. Coming to the lubricating oil industry, product life period plays an important role in the smooth running of the machinery and the plant. As these oils play a very important role in the day to day functioning of critical machinery, so if not maintained properly these can lead to the breakdown of machinery thereby leading to a shutdown of the plant which leads to the incurrence of huge loss. Therefore it is very important that these oils should be used well in advance before their life period expires. We can hereby pen down certain prerequisite conditions for storage of lubricants: 1.  Pre usage Inspection : It is mandatory to verify their performance properties & conditions with oil analysis for the oils that have been kept for a long pe
