Pump Bearing Lubrication Ways

June 22, 2011 By ilblendo Leave a Comment

A pump is built to certain specifications so it can with stand what is going through it and what is happening around it. But bearings that allow the pump to run are made to handle loading conditions only. It is said that bearings are the heart of the pump. If a bearing is gone, the pump does not run and no product is pumped. Then an unfavorable condition will occur, which may cause many problems, most of which are inconvenient and costly.

If bearing is the heart of a pump, then lubricant is the life blood. Therefore, it is necessary for you to pay attention to the pump bearing lubrication. Pump bearings can be lubricated manually, or with a centralized lubrication system, or by smaller multi-point lubricators. It is known to us that nearly 50 percent of bearing failures are caused by improper lubrication (either under or over-lubrication).

Thus, it is very important to choose the appropriate way to lubricate.

Pump bearings can be somewhat problematic when it comes to proper lubrication. One of the biggest issues is that a traditional bearing lubrication system is inadequately designed for optimum lubrication. For example, in oil lubricated bearing the oil level is typically viewed through a sight glass. The oil level reading must be taken when the pump is off and on level ground. It must be maintained at the midpoint of the lowest roller to prevent overfilling which can lead to extreme heat generation.

As an alternative, automatic lubrication delivery systems can be a viable option to the problems associated with manual lubrication.

Automatic lubrication can range from a lower-cost single-point lubricator to sophisticated centralized lubrication systems. In addition to this, centralized lubrication systems offer the ability to lubricate entire systems and offer a permanent solution. Another advantage is that one system can serve an entire plant, provided the same lubricant is being used for all of the lube points.

There are still many other ways of lubrication. How to choose the right one? It depends on your needs. Remember to consider and compare all different factors when selecting the proper lubrication system to meet your unique operating conditions and maintenance intervals.

Can Cooking Oil Be Used As Lubricant Oil For Your Car?

Can Cooking Oil (Palm Oil Based) Be Used As Lubricant Oil For Your Car?

Do you believe that the normally used cooking oil(palm oil based) can be used as lubricant oil for your car? As astounding as it sounds, this is what had been practiced by some residents in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia.

Golf School Marketing Manager, Nik Safian said that he had been using the cooking oil or his Kancil (Malaysia’s local car –Daihatsu based) which he bought for only RM 2.50 (about USD 0.76).”My Kancil use 3 liters of lubricant oil. So I just put about 2 and a half packets of cooking oil to equal that amount. I used to spend about RM130 (about USD 39) for lubricant oil change. Now I only pay for the service charge.”

According to him by using the cooking oil, his engine temperature is low and the meter does not exceed more than one notch. When he actually bring his car to the workshop for service, the mechanic was very surprised by the fact that he had used the cooking oil as engine oil but he admitted that the cooking oil works just fine and can be used as an alternative to engine oil.

Ex Graduate from Arkansas University US, Hisham Abdullah,43, also used the cooking oil for engine oil for his Proton Iswara(another Malaysia’s local car). He said he had been using it for the past 1 year and his car engine works just fine.”Cooking Oil (Palm based) is a type of synthetic oil but nobody ever use them for car lubricant for the simple fact that they do not know about it,” he said again.

Car Mechanic, Mohd Tajuddin Ali reveals that he had been using this cooking oil for engine oil since he met with an oil expert in US and was told this secret. “Only palm oil based cooking oil can be used for engine oil. Do not use corn, vegetable or beans based oil for engine oil due to its nature to freeze on low temperatures.

He said that this is definitely a relief to him due to costly engine oil in the market (4 liters of semi-synthetic oil could reach to RM 140(about USD 42) and fully synthetic oil could reach to RM 200 (about USD 60)).

However he advise people to change the car hose(gasket) to a better one before trying to use the cooking oil for engine oil.

Save money with Daniel Dingel’s Electromagnetic Fluid 2001!

June 22, 2011 By ilblendo Leave a Comment

The ELECTROMAGNETIC FLUID (2001) is another brilliant invention Mr. Daniel Dingel.

Daniel’s ElectroMagnetic Fluid is the only advanced technology lubricant additive in the world that is extracted purely from specially selected plant derived organic materials and resins, through his specially patented process, to form a super slippery lubricant additive with unique electromagnetic properties that produce an ‘AIR FILM MAGNET’ which results in an almost ZERO FRICTION COEFFICIENT between operating mechanical parts that then work far more efficiently and economical in their operation.

EMF SuperLube is simply added to any operating mechanical system to reach all areas of resistance (that cause friction) to enhance their mechanical efficiency. The addition of this causes an engine, machine or equipment to run far more efficiently….

Honda used to add Daniel’s EMF Oil to all their new cars but then they tried to copy it so Daniel now refuses to supply them anymore.

We have tried the EMF with the vans that we are using for our logistics operations. True enough we noticed an increase in engine performance and there has been a significant reduction in fuel consumption. Accoriding to our personnel in the field, an average of 3 liters has been saved from our daily consumption. That’s around Php3,000 () monthly savings!
