Poor lubrication practices can cost approximately 8 to 15% of a company’s annual maintenance budget.
Plant Services will provide your facility with a lubrication maintenance strategy and services that save time, money, and resources. Inadequate and poorly managed lubrication practices can needlessly increase a business’s annual maintenance budget cost by approximately 8-15%.
Proper lubrication reduces friction, heat, and wear by creating a barrier between moving metal surfaces. When applied at manufacturer recommended intervals, proper lubrication will maximize the life span of your equipment while maintaining runtime.
