Lubricants play an important role in the overall equipment efficiency. Can you please elaborate on it?

Lubricants' main job is to reduce friction. In the process of manufacturing, when friction is reduced, it naturally enhances life of the equipment. Overall equipment efficiency can be achieved through extending life of the equipment. Additionally, good quality lubricant lead towards lesser shutdown or maintenance time, which further translates into saving of energy as well as man hours.

Furthermore, life of the oil is another important aspect that affects shutdown time. High quality oil and lubricants reduce friction while maintaining lower working temperature of the equipment. This further leads to enhancement of the life of oil itself. So it's complete benefit for the users, as they can reduce energy consumption, lubricants consumption and ultimately saves cost.
