Industrial lubricant selection affects equipment efficiency
At Lubrication Engineers, we know the difference between a fully functioning machine and mechanical failure can boil down to your choice of industrial lubricants. The bearings of many advanced pieces of equipment operate under extreme levels of constant stress. If, however, you select your industrial lubricant from LE carefully, wisely and in accordance with the requirements of the application, you can provide a much more efficient way for your machinery to go about its business. Bearings often operate under severe conditions that include heavy loads, shock loads, high speeds, temperature extremes and contaminants. Your motors, pumps, U-joints, shafts, countershafts, exhaust fan bearings and other parts and equipment all stand a better chance of thriving if given a healthy dose of the right industrial lubricant.
Water-resistant grease protects your bearings
When it comes to industrial lubricants for water and wastewater treatment facilities, the greatest amount of lubricant contamination stems from water. Dust, dirt, process chemicals and cross-contamination are other sources of contamination that can create problems with equipment. Grit washers, clarifiers, blowers and other equipment you rely upon to keep your plant operating efficiently all have bearings in need of lubrication. Lubricant quality is essential in preventing rust, corrosion and other wear. LE is the industrial lubricant company that can help you confront all of your housekeeping needs with its array of lubricants, including greases that inhibit rust and oxidation and water-resistant greases that shed or tolerate water without losing their original properties.
Cost-effective solution: clean, dry industrial lubricant
Maintaining clean, dry industrial lubricants is much more cost-effective than removing excess contaminants and moisture after they have infiltrated your lubricants. The right lubricant and the right storage, handling, application and contamination exclusion tools will help you keep out harmful contaminants. For example, we can provide high-quality desiccant breathers for keeping moisture and contaminants out of your lubricant, and we recommend our Clear Grease Guns for ensuring that you use the right grease for the application, 100 percent of the time.
In case water does become a problem for your equipment, LE provides lubricants with demulsibility characteristics to combat the problem before it leads to costly downtime and repairs. LE also recommends tools such as sight glasses and filtration systems for detecting and removing water, rust particles and other contaminants from lubricants so they can continue to perform efficiently and protect your equipment.
With proper lubricants and a comprehensive lubrication reliability program, you’ll keep your gear reducers, air compressors, hydraulics, turbines and open gears running efficiently – without costly downtime.
