A THIRD OF INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT FAILURE IS DUE TO INCORRECT LUBRICATION, SAYS TOTAL EXPERT
A lubrication expert from Total has revealed almost a third( 28 per cent) of industrial equipment failure is a result of inadequate lubricant maintenance and incorrect lubrication, with the likely impact potentially running into millions of pounds for UK businesses.
Improper lubrication, including using the wrong oil or not using enough oil, leads to increased friction and greater wear, which can lead to breakdown and downtime, and can ultimately impact bottom lines.
