Critical project successfully executed for ISO 9001 Certified - Millenium's shipbuilding yard under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways (Defence Sector).
In our last #knowyouroil segment, we had discussed about Particle Contamination and its effect on the life of rotating parts. Companies spend a lot of money on installing filtration units to counter particle contamination but never take preventive measures towards water contamination. Water is a worse and silent killer for the life of machinery as it slowly degrades the oil properties and one only gets to know about it when the machine fails pre-maturely. In this article, we will try to understand the basics of Water Contamination . We will also try to answer the following questions. 1. What water does to oil properties? 2. Can we see water contamination as soon as it starts? 3. What to do if our oil is contaminated? To check your machine's, follow: https://www.linkedin.com/company/minimacsystemsprivatetlimited There are three phases in which water can exist in oil i.e. dissolved water, emulsified water, and free water. Dissolved Water: It is characte...
Introduction Oil filtration is a crucial process in maintaining the efficiency and longevity of machinery, engines, and hydraulic systems. It involves removing contaminants, such as dirt, water, and metal particles, from oil to ensure optimal performance. In a world where machinery operates under increasingly demanding conditions, understanding oil filtration becomes paramount for industries relying on lubrication systems. This article delves into the nuances of oil filtration, exploring its importance, types, processes, benefits, challenges, and innovations in the field. Understanding Oil Filtration Oil filtration refers to the method of purifying oil by removing impurities that can degrade its quality. Contaminants can enter the oil through various means, including wear and tear of machinery components, environmental factors, and improper handling during oil changes. The primary goal of oil filtration is to enhance the oil’s performance, thereby protecting the machinery and ext...
Introduction: Bearing life is influenced by many factors, such as load, speed, temperature, and lubrication. Bearing problems don’t just mean expensive repair costs and downtime. By becoming knowledgeable and taking action on these main “bearings destroyers”, greater life in your bearings will be achieved with better and smoother operation and less cost to operate. Bearings are essential to the smooth operation of numerous industrial machines, from automotive engines to heavy equipment used in manufacturing. To improve the performance of equipment and reduce the costly downtime, it is vital to extend the life of bearing systems by maintaining them effectively, lubricating them properly and monitoring their condition indefinitely. In this detailed guide, we break down the strategies to increase bearing service life and protect your investment in industrial equipment. Understanding the Life of Bearing The life of the bearing is defined as the period of (running) time during which t...
