  It is a well-known fact that lubricant’s key responsibility is surface separation and protection. It reduces friction and saves a lot of costs that a company incurs in events of premature failure. One of the things that people talk about very seldom is when to lubricate and how much to lubricate. Does over lubrication saves or increases the maintenance expense? Is there a sweet spot or optimum point for lubrication? In this article, we will discuss how to work around your lubrication schedule to save on operational costs and simultaneously reduce energy consumption? To get answers ping us : +91 7030901266 As presented in a report by Dr. H. Peter Jost’s Projected Economic Benefits Associated With Improved Lubrication Design and Practice, “ A large percentage of lubrication programs operate inefficiently and on auto-pilot”. Some of the properties where too little or excess consumes too much energy: 1. Viscosity 2. Grease Consistency 3. Grease Load 4. Oil Volume 5. Filtration 6. Gre

  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?

Dissolved Water: It is characterized by individual water
