What are the principles of lubrication work: “five fixations” and “three filtrations”?
Thread Content
The \"five fixings\" and \"three filtrations\" for equipment lubrication are effective methods to standardize and institutionalize daily lubrication technical management, ensuring the proper performance of lubrication tasks. Its content is: Five fixings: (1) Fixed location: Determine the lubrication areas and points for each piece of equipment, and carry out lubrication at fixed locations. ⑵Qualification: Determining the type, grade, and quality requirements of the grease needed for the lubrication area. The fuel quality must pass testing. ⑶Quantification: Determine the amount of lubricant to be added or replaced at each lubrication point, and implement fixed consumption quotas as well as scheduled lubricant replacement. ⑷Regularly: Determine the cycle for adding or replacing grease in various lubricated components, and apply grease, top up oil, and clean it according to the specified schedule. Tanks with large oil storage capacities are tested at regular intervals as per regulations, to determine the timing for the next inspection or oil sampling. ⑸Designation of personnel: Determine the roles of the operators and lubrication workers regarding the lubrication of equipment – namely, adding oil, refilling it, and cleaning as well as replacing worn parts. Each person shall perform their own tasks to ensure proper lubrication of the equipment. Third-level filtration: (1) Inbound filtration: The oil is filtered when it is transported in for storage. ⑵Distribution filtration: Filtration is performed when the oil is poured into the lubrication container. ⑶Fuel filtration: Filtering occurs when the fuel is added to the equipment’s fuel storage area.
Three-stage filtration: filtering from a large tank into a smaller one； Filtered through an oil pot from a small bucket ； Filtered by the oil pot pouring device.
What is the purpose of these three levels of filtering?
This has been the standard for a long time. If you get the chance, take a close look – the mesh sizes of these three filters are different, which means they remove different types of impurities. The purpose of this is to ensure the quality of the lubricating oil and to protect the proper operation of the equipment. The quality of lubricants these days is already very good; filtering may even be unnecessary. However, some companies still continue to use this standard in order to remind users to pay attention to the quality of lubricants. However, for some special equipment, strict attention must be paid to the filtration of lubricating oil.
