Machinery Lubrication December 2023

Since oil and grease reservoirs play a critical role in various industrial applications, they require consistent maintenance and periodic top-ups to ensure optimal performance. Utilizing sealable and refillable containers for oil and grease reservoir top-ups presents a sustainable approach that not only maintains operational efficiency but also minimizes environmental impact.

The lubrication process is vital across all industrial sectors in order to meet the different challenges and requirements unique to each industry. From high-pressure environments to heavy workload conditions, lubrication with high-quality lubricants plays a highly important role in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of machines and providing longer lifespans.

In this episode of Gear Talk, Wes sits down with Paul Farless, an industrial service technician with Noria, to discuss getting buy-in for change. One of Paul's passions is preaching change and awareness within facilities to cultivate long-term success and sustainability. Whether you're part of a large, seasoned team or a smaller unit, getting buy-in from your maintenance staff is crucial.

In the world of industrial machinery and equipment, effective lubrication is the lifeblood that keeps everything running smoothly. Yet, many organizations face numerous challenges when implementing or upgrading their lubrication programs.

In the heart of every nuclear power plant lies a hidden challenge that plays a crucial role in the facility's safety, efficiency, and longevity: maintaining proper lubrication. While the nuclear power industry is renowned for its stringent safety measures and rigorous maintenance procedures, the complexities and unique challenges of lubrication are often underestimated.

Proactive maintenance is a mindset change. What I’m really talking about are the “‘ers” of lubrication and maintenance. Cooler, better lubricant, better inspection practices, better maintenance practices, better relubrication intervals...You get it — the ‘ers of lubrication and maintenance. This may sound simple to you, but why does it seem like many organizations aren’t doing it?

The efficient operation of industrial machinery hinges on two critical maintenance strategies: Proactive Maintenance and Predictive Maintenance. While both approaches fall under the broader umbrella of condition-based maintenance, their methodologies and impacts are distinct and complementary.
