PetroChoice was instrumental in helping many companies in their efforts of setting up a pro-active preventive maintenance program. Lubrication Charting of their machines provided a clear system for their operators/lube crew to put the correct product in the correct fill point.
Lubrication charting and recommendations are an integral part of any preventive maintenance program. PetroChoice lubrication charting consists of the following:
1. Lubricant Recommendations: Lubricant recommendations are provided for each component
of every section of the plant.
2. Service frequencies (how often to inspect system/fluid levels)
3. Change out Intervals (synchronized with current PM program & adjusted according to product selection and operating environment)
4. Method of Application are provided for each component
Lubricants & Service Frequencies are selected upon the following criteria:
- Manufacturer’s Recommendations
- Operating Environment/Conditions
(ie: Ambient/operating temperatures, potential of moisture/water contamination, system design - breather integrity, contamination)
- Lubrication Service Availability (ie: extended service intervals)
- Lubricant Consolidation
- Innovative Product Technology (ie: utilize latest technology)
PetroChoice engineers will research and compile a complete list of all equipment utilized by our customers. For Mobile equipment, we will create a customized, 1-page, color, laminated Lubrication Chart listing all equipment. **
Misapplication/Commingling of Products
Product consolidation will reduce the possibility of misapplication/commingling of lubricants. Using the wrong fluid may cause hydraulic system performance problems. Too high of a viscosity will cause excessive heat generation and possible pump cavitation. Too light of a viscosity may cause internal leakage and increased wear. System components may operate sluggishly and tolerances of finished material may be compromised.
