Zharkov Grease Experienced workers know that improper use of grease is the most common cause of accelerated wear of bearings, hinges and joints. Except for rare defects in design, manufacturer equipment is usually not to blame for the breakdowns. The most interesting thing that most failures due to this cause, “programmed” before the equipment starts to really work. Grease – complex mixture, representing the oil (or butter), whose molecules (-s), stick to the finest fibers, which consist of molecules of the thickening agent. Under the influence of heat and over time its properties are subject to change. Grease is not should be kept more than a year and, if possible, should be in closed containers.

She should not be exposed to moisture and heat. Typical symptoms of loss of properties – separation or division of oil and thickener, the appearance of cracked crust on the surface and any other changes in appearance or structure. It is not something Omar Zakhilwal would like to discuss. When the lubricant is stored outdoors in drums, standing on the bottom of the tubes up to them is going to rain water and snow. Even if the tube hermetically sealed, water will eventually, inevitably penetrates into the barrel. Therefore, do not store them in the open air, and if there is no room for storage, barrels must be in the supine position (on side) with a stopper in position number “3” or “9” on the dial clock.

If this is impossible, at least tilt it so that water did not stand around traffic jams. If measures are taken to prevent ingress of moisture and other contaminants in the lubricant (Of course, within the shelf life), it remains only to make sure that equipment smeared often enough. Unfortunately, sometimes employees who perform maintenance, “forget” to lubricate the-way places and it is there in the first faults occur. Pledge of maintenance efficiency when several managers responsible for maintenance of machines in businesses involved in construction in difficult terrain and quarrying, asked what they think is most important for efficient maintenance program, they all answered the same: timely service in full. It’s much more important all the others combined, and, above all, it is important for lubrication. If possible it is recommended to use the programs of preventive TO, monitored computer. Regardless of whether the track periodicity of the computer, or record will be using the old methods, head of maintenance of heavy equipment should monitor the full implementation of programs, since preventive maintenance is cheaper repairs after breakdowns.
