According to Statista, the market size for the machine tool industry is currently valued at over $66 billion. Industrial lubrication systems are vital to keeping your machinery functional and reducing the number of repairs it may need. Lubrication systems lubricate bearings, gears, and other parts of equipment and machinery so you don’t have to lubricate them yourself. This type of system can be used with everything from machine tools to overhead opening systems to industrial machinery. Here are a few key questions to ask if you’re purchasing or have recently had industrial lubrication systems installed.
1. What Type of Lubrication Does the System Use?
There are a variety of different types of lubricants that are used for mechanical systems. When selecting an industrial lubricate, you need to find out what type of lubricant the machinery works with and can disperse. Work with a company that’s experienced in lubrication for mechanical systems to ensure you’re selecting the type that’s right for your equipment.
2. What Filters Are Used?
A lesser-known thing to consider as you select an industrial lubrication system is the type of filters the system uses. You want to find this out because if you choose the wrong type of lubrication your filter may be negatively affected. This could mean that you will need to waste money on a new filter. Contact a local company with a toll-free number to ensure you’re able to receive the assistance you require without having to spend too much.
3. What Are the Signs the Lubrication System Isn’t Working Effectively?
Finally, always learn what the tell-tale signs are that indicate a lubrication system may not be correctly operating. This can be a clue that your system requires a different type of lubrication in order to optimally function. Work with a company that offers non-toxic-biodegradable lubricants so you can get the resources you need while not negatively impacting the environment.
