The equipment of focus is the furnace that is responsible for melting ingots in a temperature-controlled room. Previously, lubrication was done manually and maintenance proved to be extremely challenging due to difficult-to-access lubrication points.The cause-and-effect situation forced labour hours to go up and affect production.
Upon further evaluation, Tecsia Lubricants recommended the use of automatic lubricators, GREASEMAX®. The lubricators are supplied ready-to-use straight from the box and filled with a wide range of high performance customised lubricants. Tool-free activation and chemically operated lubricators allow easy and accurate adjustment of lubrication flow.
Several GREASEMAX® units were installed at critical points of the furnaces - drive nut and feed-through points. The lubricant continually provided vital anti-wear and anti-corrosion protection.
It was surveyed much later that GREASEMAX® improved the operation’s efficiency, reduced unexpected downtime and eased up on maintenance. Tecsia Lubricants is humbled to have received such positive feedback from customers; thanks to the hard work of the staff.
