Plant Lubrication Assessment Programs Proper lubrication of machinery is the single most significant contributor to the long, problem free, life of our machinery. It is estimated that 75% of all bearing failures are due to lubrication issues. Whether these failures are caused by contamination or just the wrong lubricant being installed the value of proper lubrication cannot be overstated. AWorld Class plant lubrication programs begin with: 1. Assessment of the Current Situation 2. Establishing Goals 3. Documenting Changes and Improvements 4. Training and Implementation 5. Implement Continuous Improvement Program Key Areas of Assessment and Program Development • Lubrication Procurement Specification • Receipt Inspection, Storage and Handling • OEM / Warranty Lubrication Requirements and Actual Plant Practices • Lubrication Additions, Changes and Compatibility • Oil Analysis - Sampling Points, Techniques, Tests and Action Matrix • Filtration and Contamination Control • Personnel Training and Certification • Written Documentation - Lubrication Manual • Safety and Disposal Guidelines • Other Observations / Best Practices The initial assessment can be plotted to depict weakness and strengths using a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best). Graph reads from top to right side in order of the table above. For more information call 1-888-HERGUTH (437-4884)
