How to reduce industrial lubrication costs

The most common mistake in lubrication management is comparing products by the price per liter. The real cost of lubrication is the sum of the product consumed, the maintenance hours, the replacement of worn components and, above all, the unplanned downtime that inadequate lubrication causes.

Three fronts usually bring the biggest gains. First: standardization. Reducing the variety of lubricants in the storeroom lowers application errors, idle stock and scattered purchases. Second: a product suited to the severity. Critical components under severe load justify higher-performance lubricants, because the cost of failure far exceeds the price difference.

Third: conservation of in-service fluids. In cutting fluids and circulation systems, monitoring concentration and contamination and using adequate protection of the charge extends fluid life and postpones disposal, which carries the cost of new product plus the cost of disposing of the used one.

JEFLUB acts as a technical partner on these three fronts: it helps standardize the portfolio, specifies the product by the real severity of the application and offers conservation solutions such as Ultra Bac SC. Schedule a lubrication assessment of your plant.
