How to Identify and Remove Varnish Build Up
Without fail, varnish, sludge, soot, and other burned-oil residues build up on machines. We know it’s unavoidable, and that’s why we have our expert engineers available to help develop flushing plans for tight turnarounds, determine what successful criteria are for your specific system, and monitor operational improvements.
How to Maintain Proper Oil Cleanliness
Industrial operations need to operate at their peak levels at all times. One way to establish success is to have oil cleanliness in your lubrication systems. By doing routine maintenance, your team can help avoid oil contamination which often leads to accelerated rates of component wear and failure. We’ve put together a how-to guide to assist in helping measure oil contamination levels and how to uphold overall cleanliness.
Choosing Grease for Electric Motor Bearings
There are a lot of variables to keep in mind when choosing the right grease for your electric motor bearings that will keep them in peak operating condition and help reduce unnecessary downtime. Viscosity, consistency, and oxidation resistance are the three key criteria to consider. Grease is made up of a base oil, thickener, and additives — and together, these components can prevent leakage, help oil withstand the sometimes harsh operational conditions, and address concerns like wear, corrosion, and oxidation. To make your tough decisions easier, we put together a list of everything to consider to help protect your bearings from friction, wear and corrosion.
