Uptime Award Winner for Best Lubrication Program - AB InBev

IMC-2017 Learning Session - 44:48
by Jeffrey Dake, Yolanda Diaz, & Rick Mullen, AB InBev

This presentation demonstrates how our successful lubrication program has been implemented in many locations around the world. The program consists of a set of guidelines to show the lubrication teams how to organize areas, implement error proofing tools and perform oil analysis. Eight sections of compiled information were designed to create a lubrication toolkit that serves as a master guide. Progress is measured with a set of evaluation questions in a lubrication “Good Operation Practices.” The evaluation visualizes opportunities and develops actions with accountability. In conclusion, the programs’ success provides us more production stability, contributes to equipment reliability, controls cost and reduces lubrication issues.

Get Greener with Lubricants

The RELIABILITY Conference Learning Session - 44:51
by John Sander, Lubrication Engineers, Inc.

Do you have a green initiative in your company? The term “green” can mean various things to an organization. The problem is deciding upon an actual definition and turning that definition into an action. Some might think green means recycling, biodegradability or even biobased. There are several ways to create a green lubrication program. The goal of this presentation will be to present to the audience topics and practical ideas that can help their company be greener by extending oil change intervals, reducing energy consumption, or by using lubricants that are earth friendly.

Reduce Your Overall Grease Consumption

Bad procedures lead to bearings routinely receiving more grease than they’re designed to handle. The excess ends up being pushed into the motor casing or purged onto the floor. Over lubrication happens when re-greasing intervals are scheduled based on time instead of condition. Control lubrication tasks with ultrasound to monitor condition and maintain optimal friction. The time between greasing intervals increases, resulting in less grease used per bearing.
