12 – Pump Repairs.

This fragment shows in more detail the reduction in failures when mist lubrication is applied. Two similar plants with about 200 pumps each are compared. In one plant, the conventional oil bath lubrication method is used, and in another plant, mist lubrication is used. The number of repairs is much lower in the plant where […]

05 – Oil Mist Application to each equipment

This fragment shows in detail how oil mist is applied to the different bearings of centrifugal pumps. The mist that is transported by the main header reaches a manifold, from where different tubings can be derived with application to different points. In these derivations, reclassifiers are installed, which are devices specially designed to significantly increase […]
