In a study performed by major manufacturers, it was revealed that over 50% of the bearing failures are caused due to improper lubrication. And the two biggest contributors being – Inadequate lubrication and bearing contamination.
However, making use of automated lubrication systems can help eliminating the hazards caused by manual lubrication. Too much lubrication can create environmental hazards, whereas too little lubrication can become a cause of friction and wearing off the machinery. While the machine is in operation, an automatic lubrication system prohibits this cycle by applying smaller amounts of lubricant frequently. This keeps your machinery in the optimum working condition.
On the other hand, the manual lubrication constantly introduces contaminants to the bearing often leading to premature failures and wearing away its internal parts. However, the close system design of an automated system keeps the pollutants away, thus allowing for a longer bearing life and less downtime.
Heavy machinery, particularly Mining, Farming or Industrial Equipment, needs constant maintenance to keep them function appropriately. Contrary to that, poorly maintained machinery equipment doesn't run efficiently. Often breakdowns and lack of safety procedures can make your machinery running worse. Bijur Delimon lubrication products have a huge role to play in ensuring the smooth operation of your machinery.
Large machinery should be checked frequently for any errors in the operation. Operator training should be provided to each employee working in the company. However, training should be kept up for as long as they are working in the company. Since employees come and go each day, new trainees should be provided with the appropriate training before they are asked to operate the machinery.
Lubrication reduces friction and make it possible for you to increase the productivity level. Making a schedule of good lubrication practices will extend the life of your equipment and parts. Make sure to use the right lubricant. There are specific kinds of lubrication oils and greases for different components of the machinery. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations.
Getting the lubricants checked is a great way to diagnose issues with the large machinery. The buildup of any contaminants will signify which part maybe suffering from wear and failure.
Apart from that, there are many seals and filters on heavy machinery that ensure working parts clean and free of contaminants. Seals must be inspected on a regular basis to ensure they are working well. Filters and breathers should be kept away of contaminants to avoid creating a vacuum in the cab which may cause the contaminants to move into the cab. Keeping in mind the issues that may harass an operator, Bijur Delimon products are designed to ensure a trouble free operation of your machinery.
