Did you know that 60 % of mechanical failures are due to an incorrect lubrication?
Choosing the right oil or lubricant can make the difference between an efficient machine and a stop costly. In Constantine Garay and Children (CGeH), experts in the distribution of industrial lubricants, and automotive, we will help you to understand how to select the perfect product for each type of machinery.
A lubricant quality protects against wear, reduces friction, prevents corrosion and improves the energy efficiency.
When you use the wrong product, symptoms appear as overheating, increased consumption or loss of power. In the long run, these problems result in unnecessary repairs.
Each industry has its own requirements:
Fleets of transport: engines that operate at very high speeds and long distances.
Agricultural machinery: environments with dust, humidity and high working loads.
Industrial equipment hydraulic and: constant pressure and close tolerances.
Therefore, there is not a lubricant universal. The ideal is to adapt the product to the actual conditions of work and the type of engine or system.
(a) Recommendations of the manufacturer (OEM)
Always double check the specifications, which marks the manufacturer: viscosity grade, standards ACEA/API and approvals.
(b) Conditions of operation
Temperature, humidity, dust or extreme loads influence the viscosity and the type of additive necessary.
c) Type of oil: mineral, semi-synthetic or synthetic
Mineral: economic and effective in standard applications.
Semi-synthetic: balance between performance and cost.
Synthetic: maximum protection, durability and thermal resistance.
d) Support and maintenance
Never mix different oils without checking compatibility. Furthermore, it respects the change intervals to maintain optimal protection.
e) total Cost, not just price
A lubricant is more expensive can reduce consumption, shutdowns and malfunctions. What is important is the overall performance, not just the initial cost.
Create an inventory of machinery with working hours and conditions.
Check out the technical data sheets and manuals of the manufacturer.
Evaluates temperature, load and frequency of use.
Please check with your supplier trusted (CGeHto receive technical advice, custom.
Record the changes and analyzes the behavior of the lubricant with the time.
Choose the lubricant only price.
Use the same product for all the machinery.
Mix oils without checking compatibility.
Not to analyze oil samples in critical equipment.
Any of these errors, you can generate a premature wear and increase your operating costs.
Fleet light (commercial vehicles): diesel engines or gasoline with high mileage → lubricant approved ACEA C3 or higher, low-ash and high thermal stability.
Agricultural machinery: engines that work with dust, humidity, and constant load → base oils synthetic high viscosity index, and protection against oxidation.
