Oils and fats
Oils and Fats in Industry and Maintenance: More than just for consumption
Oils and fats not only play a crucial role in our diet, but are also indispensable in industry and maintenance tasks. These substances have a wide range of applications due to their unique properties such as lubricity, insulation and protection.
Why are oils and fats so important in industry?
Lubrication: Oils and fats reduce friction between moving parts, which prevents wear, extends the life of machines and increases efficiency.
Cooling: Due to their good thermal conductivity, oils and fats help to dissipate heat, preventing machines from overheating.
Protection: They form a barrier against corrosion, oxidation and other forms of degradation, which extends the life of materials.
Sealing: Oils and fats can prevent leaks and provide a good seal between different components.
Energy transfer: They are used in hydraulic systems to transmit power and motion.
Different types of industrial oils and greases
Depending on the application, different types of oils and greases are used, each with specific properties:
Mineral oils: Derived from petroleum, these are widely used for lubricating purposes due to their good lubricating properties and affordability.
Synthetic oils: Made in a laboratory, synthetic oils often offer better performance under extreme conditions, such as high temperatures or low temperatures.
Vegetable oils: Derived from plants, these are used as biodegradable lubricants and in the food industry.
Fats: Thicker and stickier products, often made from oils and thickeners. They are used for applications where a thicker lubricating film is required.
Applications in Industry and Maintenance
Automotive Industry: Engine oil, transmission oil, brake fluid
Industrial maintenance: Lubricating greases for bearings, gears and chains
Food Industry: Lubricants for machines that come into contact with food
Metalworking: Coolants and lubricants for metalworking
Power Generation: Turbine oils, hydraulic oils
Importance of the right choice
Choosing the right oil or grease is crucial for optimal operation of machines and equipment. Factors such as temperature, pressure, speed and the nature of the materials that come into contact with the oil or grease play an important role in this choice.
In short: Oils and greases are indispensable products in industry and maintenance. They ensure efficient and reliable operation of machines, extend the life of components and contribute to a safe working environment. By choosing the right oil or grease, companies can save costs and increase productivity.
