IEN EUROPE interviews Burkhard Busse

30 IEN EUROPE N° 9 - September 2011 IEN EUROPE interviews Burkhard Busse Equipment Builder Engineer at ExxonMobil Lubricants & Specialties, Brussels Getting Into Gear: Enhanced Productivity through Advanced Gear Lubrication In an increasingly competitive marketplace, maximising productivity and reducing operating costs has...

Turbine Oil Development

Turbine oils perform under demanding conditions and their performance has a direct impact on the reliability and profitability of a power generation operation. Lubrication failures can lead to unplanned outages, costly downtime and possible equipment damage. It’s difficult to evaluate turbine oil performance in basic laboratory tests. The...

Compatible and Incompatible Greases

Mixing different grease can sometimes lead to ineffective lubrication which damages components and could lead to equipment failure if not spotted early enough. This occurs due to incompatible chemical or structural interactions between the thickener or additive systems of different greases. Incompatibility symptoms vary but most will exhibit...

The Breakdown of Rotary Screw Air Compressors

Rotary air compressors are a type of gas compressor that uses the rotary type of positive displacement mechanism. When it’s an oil-flooded rotary screw compressor, the oil is injected into the compression compartments to aid sealing and provide cooling. In this article we will touch on the compressor components, the lubrication process and...

Maintaining Electric Motors

The electric motor is a crucial part of every manufacturing process. But due to its simplicity and reliability, frequent maintenance is often overlooked. If motor damage has been sustained, minor repairs are often too late. In this article, we will touch on maintenance practices, correct lubrication and common motor failures. Motors need to...

Regreasing of Element Bearings

Rolling element bearings need to be relubricated regularly to replace the grease that’s been lost through deterioration, leakage or contamination. This article will touch on when you should relubricate but there is no set time or schedule to reference. The timeframe can range from a daily to an annual relubrication. When to Relubricate There...

The Technicality of Grease

Grease isn’t just a thick oil; it is made up of all different components. This article will break down what grease is about, when to use it and what happens when different grease samples are mixed together. The Components that make up Grease Grease is manufactured by the combination of three essential components: base oils, thickeners...

Plant Safety Practises

To avoid injury in an industrial plant, strict safety regulations need to be adhered to. These regulations should be visible to employees at all times. There are some safety tips to consider when handling a high pressure grease gun, as an injury from this gun is treated as a surgical emergency. To avoid injury, do not touch the nozzle of the...

Synthetic Lubricants, the Superior Choice

Industrial plants choose synthetic lubricants over conventional mineral oils because they can contribute to the increased productivity of the industrial equipment and therefore decrease maintenance costs. That alone is reason enough to choose the synthetic kind. Mineral lubricants can be traced back to crude petroleum, otherwise known as crude...

Common Plant Injuries

The number of injuries taking place at industrial plants has increased over the past few years. Not only does it affect the staff but it also affects the plant, as it suffers from personnel and monetary losses. Most of the accidents taking place would not have occurred had the safety regulations been adhered to. Plant employees often work alone and...

The Winds of Change

Wind turbines are used to convert kinetic energy into mechanical energy and can be used to produce electricity or drive machinery. It can also be used as a renewable energy source. Wind turbines are highly engineered, sophisticated machinery that mainly operate in harsh environments. The main gearbox is the pivotal component of the turbine and...

Solutions for Cement Manufacturers

Extending equipment life is a crucial requirement for cement manufacturers. The overall cost of damaged equipment, production loss and labour expenditure is due to poor lubrication. This has lead to manufacturers choosing the best overall lubricant, as opposed to the one with the lowest price. Lubricant advances have seen the extension of equipment...

Maintenance and Care Tips for Air Compressors

The operating costs of plants have increased substantially, making it more important to know where to reduce costs in the running of a plant. There are three basic factors in the total cost of producing compressed air in plants: power costs (65%), operating costs (25%), and asset costs (10%). There are many different elements to ensure effective...

The benefits of using Pegasus are oil drain interval, extended equipment life and reliability, increased equipment operating efficiency and up to 1.5% energy efficiency savings. Other benefits include reduced resource use, reduction in oil disposal costs,...

Safety First: Lubricants for Food Machinery

Lubricating oils play a very important role in the smooth running of food machinery such as mixers and conveyors. The risk is that leakage may occur and get into or on the food. With that comes huge pressure on the food processing sector to minimize that risk of contamination. If contamination does occur, product has to be recalled, there are public...
