Common lubrication mistakes in factories
Factories often lose uptime and money not because lubricants are unavailable, but because lubricant practices are inconsistent or incorrect.
Using the wrong lubricant for the application
One of the most common mistakes is treating different systems the same. Gearboxes, hydraulics, compressors, and bearings all have different needs.
Ignoring contamination and cleanliness
Particles, water, and poor handling can ruin even a premium lubricant. Cleanliness is part of lubrication performance.
Over-greasing or poor relubrication practice
Too much grease can be just as harmful as too little. Proper amount, frequency, and grease type matter.
Waiting for failure instead of testing
Sample testing and monitoring can reveal issues early, before they create much larger repair costs.
