Up to 80% Machinery Failures
Are Due To Contaminated Oil
Depending on the situation, studies show that up to 80% machinery failures are due to contaminated oil.
Contaminated oil can cause several problems:
- Increased wear: Contaminants act as abrasives, accelerating wear on parts.
- Reduced lubrication: Dirty oil loses effectiveness, leading to friction and overheating.
- Corrosion: Contaminants can cause rust and weaken components.
- Clogged filters: Debris can block oil passages, starving parts of lubrication.
- Reduced efficiency: Engines work harder, increasing fuel consumption.
- Overheating: Poor lubrication leads to excessive heat and potential failure.
- Higher emissions: Inefficient combustion increases pollutants.
