The most common problems that arise in any equipment during the monsoon season are as follows:

Fungus or mould

Fungus is frequently developed around the surface of the equipment at this time of the season due to optimum growing conditions for the moulds. If the equipment is not cleaned routinely, the colonies of the fungus can affect your equipment.  

Unreliable performance

During the monsoon season, the air has typically more moisture than the normal days. This results in a high level of surface deterioration and affects the normal performance of the equipment. It causes the failure of internal parts that move continuously. The excessive moisture in the environment degrades the output quality of the equipment due to low performance.

Corrosion of terminals and ports

High humidity in the monsoon season impacts the electrical settings of the mechanical equipment and degrades the performance of the production line. The outer layer of the electric switches and sockets are made up of rubber and increasingly degraded at this season of the year.

Generally, organizations can eliminate dust and moisture by routinely cleaning the surface of the equipment, can keep the surface dry and help in maintaining high performance. But it is not possible to clean the contaminant in the internal parts of the equipment. And only a suitable lubricant can achieve the expected results

Wire rope forms a critical part of any machines and systems. It is made up of continuous wire strands wound round a core. There are many styles of wire rope designed for distinct applications. Most of them are metal wires made into strands wound with each other.

Wire ropes are developed by means of numerous parameters together with size, grade of metal used, number of strands and the quantity of wires in every strand. Specific strand sizes permit for varying tiers of rope flexibility and resistance to abrasion. Fiber core ropes are quite flexible and are used in many overhead crane packages. Wire ropes are generally developed from high carbon steel for cost, strength, and resistance.

 Lubricating wire ropes is very challenging, no matter what the composition of the wire is. For this reason, it's important to carefully consider the relubrication of the wire while selecting wire rope for any equipment.

Wire rope lubricants need to have these essential capabilities:

●     Reduce friction between the points of the contact.

●     Corrosion resistance

Wire lubricants can be of two types, penetrating and coating.

Penetrating lubricants include a petrol solvent that carries the lubricant into the core of the wire rope then evaporates. It shields and lubricates each strand.

Coating lubricants penetrate slightly, sealing the outside of the cable from moisture. It lowers wear and corrosion.

Cable life cycle and overall performance are determined through several elements. They can be damaged by excessive strain loading, shock loading, jerking heavy masses or fast acceleration or deceleration..

Corrosion can also cause shortened rope life due to metal loss. If an equipment is to be closed down for an extended duration, the cables need to be cleaned, lubricated and nicely kept. Corrosion accelerates when the metals are exposed to gases, humidity, and high temperatures.

Many styles of machines and structures use wire ropes. These are draglines, cranes, elevators, shovels, drilling rigs, and suspension bridges. Each equipment has a unique length of wire rope required. Maintenance of the ropes is very important as it can lead to life-threatening accidents if not taken care of.

There are numerous techniques of applying lubricant to wire ropes. For machinery in which the rope can move can use a drip or spray approach. These strategies apply lubricant at a single point and utilize the movement of the rope to spread the lubricant over the entire length of the system. Lubricants can also be pressurized by pushing the lubricant into the rope. If the wire ropes are static, manual brushing or sprays typically are the best way to apply lubricant.

  Lubricants are very important for industrial machinery and meet specific demands of various industrial operations. The advancement in the lubrication segment has given rise to different types of lubricant that meet different industrial standards. These lubricants are differentiated on the basis of temperature, pressure, water-resistance, load carrying capacity, etc. hence, selecting correct industrial lubricants as per your need is very crucial to lubrication to industrial machinery. 4 C’s of lubrication need to be understood before selecting any lubricants.

●     Correct Technology

●     Correct Quantity

●     Correct Frequency

●     Correct Procedures

 Correct Lubrication Technology

 Every industrial lubricant has varied application and its performance depends upon the moisture, dust, speed, temperature, etc.. Generally, working temperature of the lubricant depends upon the base oil type while factors like load, vibration, moisture are determined by the additive package of the lubricant.  Selecting the right lubricant as per the scenario has a huge benefit. If the machine works in a high moisture/water environment, then water-resistant greases are the ideal choice but when the equipment has to deal with high pressure then lubricants of high viscosity with high load capabilities are required.

 Correct Lubrication Quantity and Frequency

As the type of lubricant is essential, so is the quantity and frequency of the lubrication is important for the equipment. Over and under greasing is very disastrous for the machinery and can lead to routine breakdown. The goal should be to offer the right amount of lubrication to the parts of the machine, be it done manually or automatically. It assures a constant level of protection and constant operating temperature.

 According to researchers, insufficient lubrication is the cause of sixty percent of bearing failures. It's vital to understand the numerous parameters surrounding the operation of any given bearing to correctly select re-lubrication frequencies. Also, over greasing can cause high temperatures, energy losses and bearing failure. Under-greasing does not hold the machine together for the required duration and breaks off before the scheduled lubrication.

 Correct Lubrication methods

 Once the appropriate lubrication has been determined, processes ought to be developed to carry out a lubrication program. Correct strategies need to be developed after learning the behaviour of the lubricant and machinery.

 These strategies include:

●     Storage and handling of lubricants

●     maintaining data of the best lubricant type for every application

●     Figuring out the right quantity of lubrication

●     Monitoring Failures

 By maintaining careful records, it is very helpful in re-lubrication of the equipment which eventually keeps the high operational performance of the equipment.
