Requirements for good industrial lubrication:
  • Correct selection of lubricant characteristics:

It is important that when acquiring lubricants for your factory machines, you correctly choose the physical and chemical characteristics of the lubricant, such as viscosity. This way, you can take full advantage of the lubricant's benefits and your machine will be protected.

  • Observe strict cleanliness standards in the storage and handling of lubricants:

It is important to take care of how lubricants are stored to avoid contamination from foreign substances that could damage their lubricating function and affect the operation of the machines. For that reason, you must store them carefully.

  • Perform proper cleaning of the gear motor parts:

During use, the lubricant is exposed to foreign substances that, sooner or later, will affect it, altering its characteristics.

  • Check seals and gaskets

Sometimes, the lubricant is not entirely efficient and we do not know the root cause; therefore, it is essential to ensure that the seals and gaskets are in good condition to prevent oil leaks and keep the machine protected.

  • Control the frequency of oil changes:
