Lubrication Services
Lubrication is a crucial element in the efficiency and life expectancy of any rotating equipment. It reduces friction and allows moving machine parts to slide smoothly past each other.
Lubrication Services
Lubrication is a crucial element in the efficiency and life expectancy of any rotating equipment. It reduces friction and allows moving machine parts to slide smoothly past each other. That’s why we developed our first-class lubrication management service, known as a “LubriCare”, a hydrocarbon management program for lubricating critical and defined equipment on a periodic basis. LubriCare is tailored to suit our customer’s specific requirements and is developed and changed accordingly, depending on our ongoing findings. This type of support enables our customers to plan their maintenance activity more effectively and assists them in progressing from a time-based maintenance schedule to a condition-based maintenance schedule.
Our engineers are qualified to a minimum of MLA/MLT Level 1 as controlled by the ICML (International Council of Machinery Lubrication).
Lubrication and Fluid Management Programs
Effective lubricant and fluid management is one of the most overlooked drivers of operational efficiency. Our specialist programs cover hydrocarbon management, full lubrication and fluids management, and on-site service delivery help manufacturing businesses reduce costs, improve compliance, and get more from their equipment. Whatever the scale or complexity of your operation, we have a structured approach to match.
The hydrocarbon management program has cost-effective maintenance management as one of its key objectives and promotes real benefits by reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).
A hydrocarbon management program delivers the following:
- Reduced lubricant usage through optimised change intervals and the use of fit-for-purpose products
- Lower lubricant costs by rationalising lubricant inventory and improving storage procedures
- Increased productivity with fewer lubrication-related issues
- More effectively managed waste thanks to improved avoidance, treatment and disposal
- Ensured compliance in critical areas, such as lubricant management and COSHH
Lubricants and other process fluids can have a major impact across all parts of a manufacturing business, especially the bottom line, even though they rarely require significant expenditure.
As part of the lubrication and fluids management program, our specialists work to an agreed schedule on-site, to manage fluids. This includes reviewing and managing the lifecycle of lubricant and fluid products from selection, storage, treatment, application through to disposal.
- Reduced storage costs
- Optimised lubrication regimes
- Reduced product usage
- Reduced product wastage through spill and leak reduction
- Extended component life
- Installation & maintenance of fixed automatic lubricators and lubrication systems (if required)
- Reduced downtime
- Reduced likelihood of product contamination
- Greater utilisation of recycling facilities to reduce consumption
- Reduced disposal costs
- Secure product contamination control, avoidance and treatment
- Compliance with environmental legislation
Hydraulic System Inspections
Hydraulic systems are at the heart of productivity and efficiency in most modern industrial facilities but when problems arise, the consequences can be serious. Unplanned failures put machinery at risk, trigger costly production downtime, and can create significant safety hazards for operators. That’s why ensuring relevant staff can identify and respond to potential issues before they escalate is essential.
Oil Sampling
Oil sampling is a cornerstone of any effective maintenance program, providing the insight needed to accurately assess equipment condition before problems develop. Our fully trained engineers ensure every sample is taken correctly, giving the laboratory the best possible foundation for precise analysis. By establishing a baseline of normal wear in the early stages, the program becomes increasingly powerful over time with routine testing able to detect abnormal wear or contamination as soon as it emerges. Without consistent, high-quality sampling practices, analysis results can be misread and early warning signs missed.
Routine Lubrication Services
Effective lubrication is fundamental to the efficiency and longevity of any rotating equipment reducing friction and keeping moving parts running smoothly. To help our customers get the most from their machinery, we developed LubriCare: a premium hydrocarbon management program designed to deliver structured, periodic lubrication of critical equipment, tailored to the specific needs of each operation.
Best Practice & Oil Stores Rationalisation
Managing fuel, lubricants, coolants, and additives (FLCA) effectively is critical to reducing consumption, minimising waste, and protecting equipment from unnecessary wear and premature failure. Our best practice and oil stores rationalisation services are designed to do exactly that. Improving how FLCA products are stored, managed and controlled while strengthening safety and compliance across your operation. It’s an approach already adopted by many major organisations worldwide, who have implemented Hydrocarbon Management Standards to bring consistency and rigour to how hydrocarbons are managed across their business.
