  One of the most important activities that should be performed on a regular basis at their respective plant location is oil analysis.  Oil analysis is like visiting your primary care physician for a yearly blood test. The specialist can decide your general wellbeing and prosperity from a tiny example of your blood. The same can be performed with various industrial equipment such as motors, gearboxes, water power, air blowers, and turbines in order to avoid major breakdowns of the equipment. Let’s explore this part more in detail.  Oil analysis (OA) is the laboratory analysis of a lubricant's properties, suspended contaminants, and wear debris, performed during routine predictive maintenance to provide meaningful and accurate information on lubricant and machine conditions. As shown in the graph below the condition of assets keeps decreasing as the time of its usage keeps increasing. This is a clear indication to monitor your Equipment and Oil's condition frequently and take pr

  What is the Beta Ratio? The beta ratio refers to the efficiency in which a given filter element removes the particle of a given size. It is calculated using the ISO multi-pass test standard 16889:1999. This factor plays an important role in buying the oil filter. How is it measured? This test involves adding particles of a known size to the test fluid until the fluid reaches an immersion point and afterward bringing the channel online to eliminate particles in a single pass through the component. Consider that the beta proportion is very important for a specific size of the molecule For example, if 100,000 five micron particles were measured, on average, before the filter, and 100 five micron particles were measured after the filter, the beta ratio was 1,000. We at Minimac Systems Pvt Ltd . provide services of Total Lubrication Management and Lubrication Consulting that help you optimize your Lubrication needs. In the realm of filters and filtration, the Beta Ratio assumes a signifi

  Oil degradation is a basic term that is used to describe the destructive mechanisms that cause physical and chemical changes to fluid while they are in service. Oil degradation is considered the main factor for reducing the service life of the working fluid. Oil oxidation happens when the oxygen attacks the fluid eventually which degrades the quality of the oil. If you overlook the oil oxidation issue it can cause - formation of sludge, increase in viscosity & additive depletion. Let's explore our dry inert gas blanketing technology which can help overcome the above-mentioned problems . Humidity is the Biggest Concern for OIL OXIDATION and DEGRADATION! It has been seen that the header space of oil tanks especially in the coastal areas is full of humid air. Having an Inert gas ensures the absence of oxygen which would be the key element for Oxidation and Oil Degradation. Hence, the technology Nitrogen Blanketing enables us to create a dry environment in the header space of the

  Taking care of lubricants has been mainly neglected because it is considered as unnecessary or out of maintenance practice. Not following proper maintenance practices for lubrication reliability often leads to the formation of contamination and degradation in oil. In this article, we have tried to cover the strategies that one can implement at the respective plants to extend the life of the oil as well as equipment.  Just like equipment, lubricants also require proper maintenance and care when being received, handled, stored, and used. Many facilities are unaware of the danger caused due to improper lubricant storage and handling practices and what inevitable fate it can lead to in terms of equipment reliability and lifecycle. We often overlook these important aspects thinking they don't affect Oil's condition much but considering the importance of Clean Oil these factors play an important role. Improper Lubrication maintenance practices result in Oil degradation and contamin

  Do you know what the Coalescing Effect is? The Coalescing Effect is the coming together of liquid aerosols to form a larger whole which is easier to filter out of the system due to its increased weight. Liquid Coalescing is a technique used to separate Vapours, Liquids, Soluble Particles, or Oil from some other fluid through a Coalescing Effect. Among all the contaminants that are found in the oil, the varnish is considered the most dangerous kind of one. Join us in our upcoming webinar on Varnish- the silent killer of lubrication & Hydraulic Systems where we deep dive in detail to know what exactly varnish is and the best practices to fight against it. Let’s take a dig at the Coalescer separator system that works on the above-mentioned technology. This system comes with low power consumption equipment with the least maintenance and having multiple advantages over its alternate technology of centrifugal oil purification. Minimac’s Coalescer separator system is capable of removi

  Opposite Charges Attract Each Other and that includes the Particle Contamination in your Oil too. Electrostatic Fluid Cleaning calls for electrostatically charged electrodes inside a water bath. It is a known fact that all foreign particles carry some charge. While we create positive and negative electrodes  on the oil bath, the foreign particles which are negatively charged would be attracted towards the positively charged electrode and vice-versa. Thereby, after some interval of oil passage, the particles would be attracted towards the respective oppositely charged electrode and separation of particles happen. Would you like to know in detail how this technology could be beneficial at your plant location? Give us a call . Minimac's   ELC is a Made In India product built with high-quality materials giving the desired feedback and efficiently cleaning your Oil. Applications of Electrostatic Oil Cleaning! All equipment using hydraulic pumps, valves, cylinders, etc. Aircraft/ship
