Lubricant Management
Choosing, storing, and testing lubricants — the cheapest way to extend equipment life at most plants.
Grease vs Oil
Choosing between grease and oil depends on speed, sealing, accessibility, and the required re-lubrication interval.
Viscosity and Additive Packages
Choosing the correct viscosity is the most important single decision in lubricant selection — additives are secondary but essential.
Contamination Control
Most lubricant-related equipment failures trace to contamination (water, particles, or wrong oil) — not the lubricant itself.
Oil Sampling and Analysis
Oil analysis is the most cost-effective condition monitoring available at most plants — sample, ship, get a report, repeat every 3-6 months.
