Electrostatic Lube Cleaner

Image
  Lubrication plays a major role in machinery parts by reducing the wear of moving parts or any other equipment. It will also come in use for reducing the friction between moving parts and stationary ones. Contaminants in lube oil can damage the life of your equipment as well as it will also directly affect the efficiency of the machine which will have a major impact on the operation process. So for a smooth operation process, no one should avoid contamination in lube oil. Nowadays oil purification on a regular basis is mandatory to keep the equipment healthy and to avoid breakdown. If one should not want to increase the cost of operation so oil purification should be taken seriously. Top Lubrication industry experts suggest. .. Recording reliable oil-analysis data and Using a conditioning system to remove varnish-precursors as they form in order to clean your oil so it can clean your system. Our ELC (Electro-Static Oil Cleaner) System provides Higher Efficiency, Versatility, and ...

High Velocity Oil Flushing

Image
  High velocity oil flushing is performed to remove contaminants from the various industrial equipment. It is one of the most important maintenance processes that is designed to extend the life of rotating equipment as well as other industrial machinery. The flow rate is a parameter which  plays an important role  while performing high velocity oil flushing, Ignoring it can cause major damage. Let’s understand in detail about high velocity flushing. High Velocity Oil Flushing - What? When? How? Why? .... all answered below!! What - High-Velocity Oil Flushing (HVOF) is performed to remove contaminants from the piping and tubing of critical hydraulic and lube oil systems .  When - At Commissioning and shutdown stage as these contaminants range from pipe scale, welding slag, metal shavings, dirt, dust, water, varnish, etc. Also in scheduled and breakdown maintenance of equipment whose efficiency has reduced due to contaminants and pipeline scaling. How - Just give u...

Solid Contamination in Oil

Image
  In the Lubrication field , Contaminants are the bad elements which need to be prevented and removed on time as when detected. Neglecting the need of Purifications often leads to Premature Failure and Mechanical Breakdowns. This will not only cause mechanical breakdowns but also it will shoot up the cost of maintenance and repair of Equipment. There are several contaminants which can cause the lubricating oil to become contaminated such as external dust, water or humidity which are generated outside the machine. On the other hand some contaminants are from internal origin, This includes degradation product or wear particles that come from the machine itself and at any cost these cannot be avoided during operation. Solid Contamination in your oil? Coal handling plants in Thermal Power plants faced solid contamination issues in their Hydraulic oil uses in wagon tipplers. The old orthodox approach suggests that hydraulic oil should be replaced when each time contamination occurs fo...

Reliability Centered Lubrication

Image
  Lubrication can be defined as the application of oily or greasy substances, Which are also called ‘lubricants’ which work like the blood for the rotating equipment. In any industry taking care of lubricant is the main part of their maintenance activity to avoid machinery breakdowns due to which the industry will face a huge loss. Not only is it used to reduce friction but also allow moving parts to slide smoothly. selecting the right lubrication and taking proper care of them can save the maintenance cost and avoid production loss. There have been many myths going around about lubrication because of which it is often ignored or not taken care seriously. This ignoring can lead to problems such as oil contamination which results in nothing but premature machine breakdown . Let’s discuss in detail about the factors that can lead to oil contamination and how we can prevent them. Lubrication is an important aspect of an equipment's life cycle. It ensures efficiency and prevents break...

Oil Condition Monitoring Equipment

Image
  Oil condition monitoring is an important aspect of lubrication reliability. Most lubrication systems are designed as per international standards of ISO, ASTM, API, or others. Lubricating oil quality and its maintenance find utmost priority in the maintenance manuals of the OEMs. ​ There are multiple oil quality parameters which need to be tested at regular intervals. These parameters thus obtained are compared to the reference values as provided by the OEMs or the international industry standard documents. ​ However, in absence of in-house infrastructure for testing and monitoring, maintenance professionals struggle to follow an ideal oil analysis programme. Their dependence of outside agencies for sampling, testing, and trend monitoring pulls back the basic intent of periodic oil condition monitoring. ​ Minimac offers equipment for on-site testing and monitoring of oil conditions. The need of a laboratory infrastructure or specialized lab personnel is mostly not mandatory to op...
