WBG, with 15 years experience in research and production of lubricant grease, has investigated thousands of cases of improper selection and use of lubricant grease and brings forward different solutions for customers who have little knowledge in choosing the correct grease.
1. Choose the right lubrication method based on actual working conditions: regular lubrication or permanent lubrication.
2. Choose the right grease based on its shelf life, working environment, applicable materials, working temperature, work load, rotating speed, food grade requirements and other specifications.
3. The best way to determine a lubricating grease is to do a professional instrument test to check whether the performance is up to standard.
4. Improper selection of lubricating grease can lead to terrible consequences. For example, one food factory was fined for not using food grade lubricant on food processing equipment. What is worse, the wrong lubricant polluted the processing equipment and was indirectly transmitted to food and the human body through the production line, causing harm to human health. Therefore, for lubricating parts in contact with food, professional food-grade lubricating grease must be used.
If you do not know how to choose lubricating grease, you can consult WBG for professional advice. We have engineers to help. Improper use of lubricating grease on incompatible parts can cause the part to expand or harden. If it is mixed with other incompatible oils, the grease may lose effect, affecting product shelf life and company reputation.
