Are you buying the right oil filter?

  Have you ever thought when you raise a requirement for a particular filter let’s say a 10-micron filter you get a range of prices some being ridiculously low and some being higher than most, and all claim to give the best 10-micron filter? We get tricked at this point and without looking at differences we think that the only differentiator is the profit margin and procure the filter with the least price. For filter check contact - +91 7030901266. Let’s try to understand the real reason for the price difference. There are two types of filter ratings: 1.  Absolute: Filter Rating meaning 99.9% of the particles larger than a specified micron rating will be trapped on or within the filter. 2.  Nominal: Filter Rating indicating the approximate size particle, the majority of which will not pass through the filter. It is generally interpreted as meaning that 85% of the particles of the size equal to the nominal filter rating will be retained by the filter. So, a vendor quoting for an Absol

  Did you know that how we maintain our machines can be classified in various types and what is interesting to note is each technique has some benefits and some consequences. In this article, we will understand different types of maintenance techniques their pros and cons along with a brief guideline on how they impact a company’s cost structure with some interesting facts. Contact  Minimac to schedule maintenance:  +91 7030901266 There are four types of maintenance strategies: 1.  Reactive Maintenance: Maintenance is scheduled in response to operational failure.  This type of maintenance is very useful for lowering initial cost, reducing manpower cost as you need fewer staff members and doesn’t require any planning. On the contrary, this strategy compels you to keep more inventory to brace for unexpected failure. This not only leads to a higher cost but also makes the project budgets unpredictable. 2.  Preventive Maintenance: Maintenance is scheduled according to historic trends,

Steps to achieve perfect oil lubrication

  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
