Industrial lubricants are liquid lubricants used on various types of machinery to reduce friction and protect machinery and processing. They mainly play the role of lubrication, cooling, rust prevention, cleaning, sealing and buffering. In most cases, industrial lubricants play both lubrication and cooling roles. They act as lubricants by reducing friction between tools and workpieces. For industrial lubricants used in various occasions, chemical stability, thermal stability, friction reduction and load resistance (including extreme pressure lubricants) are the most common requirements
1. Consult lubrication experts, use lubricants of appropriate specifications, and minimize the types of oil used;
2. For each machine, use a simple diagram to show the parts that need to be refueled, the name of the oil, the refueling cycle, etc., and a dedicated person is responsible to avoid using the wrong oil;
3. Before each refueling, clean and wipe the oil pump, oil pot and other containers and tools;
4. Each oil is used in a dedicated container, and the name of the oil is marked on the container to prevent contamination;
5. Before changing the oil, the machine must be rinsed with solvent, and water-soluble cleaning agents must not be used;
6. After each addition or replacement of lubricating oil, keep a record of machine maintenance;
7. If the oil is abnormal or the oil change cycle has arrived, samples should be taken and submitted to a professional company for testing and verification;
8. Before refueling for the first time, thoroughly clean the oil tank and pipelines, replace the system with the selected oil, and refuel according to the specified amount.
