Champion Good Lube Practices
The power of one person, dedicated to a quality program, can result in long-term gains in asset reliability. By Dave Piangerelli, Lubrication Technologies Inc. When on site at a plant, a quarry, a municipality, or any company/entity that uses lubricants, it’s easy to spot inefficiency and poor management and, alternately, good management practices. The most […]
Use of Moly Grease in Trucks
Recently, we have been running into companies that are using a grease containing moly (molybdenum disulfide) as chassis grease or general-purpose grease. This is more often seen when heavy equipment is also in the fleet and the fleet manager wants to have only one grease for all applications.
Quarterly Profits or Machine Production – Which Comes First?
Companies invest millions of dollars in revenue-producing assets, specifically machines of all types. These machines, ranging from trucks to wheel loaders, cooling towers to crushers, paper machines, injection molding machines, blowers, mixers, food processing equipment, and so on, depend upon proper maintenance protocols with qualified personnel using quality products to ensure the longest possible reliability […]
Automatic Lubrication Systems – Don’t Work!?!
Companies seeking ways to gain operational efficiency and increase reliability often turn to technology. Increasing productivity with reducing operating costs has become a mandate for managers. Maintenance plays an important role in increasing equipment reliability through condition monitoring of critical assets, using tools such as oil analysis, vibration analysis, thermography, etc. Each concept or tool […]
