• Do’s and don'ts during lubrication.
• Hazard from different lubricant.
 Lubrication-Lubricant-Requirement
Requirement of Lubrication- Blood of the system
• Reduce friction, reduce heat loss, protect surface from
wear (by forming separate layer in-between mating parts).
• Carry away contaminants and debris.
• Prevent Corrosion.
• Prevent Rust
• Seal for gases.
• Transmit power.

Type of lubricants-
• Soild.
• Semi solid.
• Liquid.
• Spray
Composition of Lubricant
Lubricant Oil
• Base Oil - Purpose
• Additive - Purpose

Lubricant Grease
• Base Oil - Purpose
• Additive - Purpose
Hazard From Lubricant
• Material Safety Data Sheet.
• Environmental Hazard

USE PROPER HAND Dispose oil and

GLOVES BEFORE grease soaked
HANDLING LUBRICANTS Cotton Waste Read MSDS of lubricant and SOP for collection and handling lubricant
 Type of Oil Lubrication
1. Splash lubrication.
2. Pressure or Spray lubrication.
3. Combination of pressure and splash lubrication.

Spray lubrication System for Tension Reel and Pay Off Reel Gear Box
Centralised Grease Lubrication System

Splash Lubrication System for other Gear Boxes

Spray lubrication System for Entry and Exit Gear Box
 Contamination Due to Mishandling
• Lubricant drum in open condition contamination by
airborne dust.
• Use of dirty hand or scoop for oil or grease dispensing.
• Grease nipple not cleaned before greasing.
• Direct oil filling to tank from oil drum. Lid Closed Drum

Measuring Can for Gear Oil

Scoop for Grease Dispensing Portable Oil Filters Clean Oil funnel Right
Examples of Preventing Mishandling
Viscosity and Viscosity Index
• Maintaining Tank or gear box oil
temperature as viscosity changes
with temperature.
• Change in oil viscosity does effect
on machine performance.

GEAR OIL-320

GEAR OIL-220
Viscosity of oil decided by OEM and it is machine specific

Don't Mix Different grades od oil

Monitor Gear Box and Hydraulic Power Pack Temperature
 Type of Lubricant used in TBSL, Jamshedpur
• Grease-
HTXX- For High temperature
more than 90 degree C.
EP2- As normal application
bearing.
WR-2- Squeeze Rolls.
• Oil
Servo Mesh SP320 and SP
220- Gear Box Colour Coding for different grades of grease

• Spray- Mosil, WD-40

Note:- Only few examples given. For details need to refer lubrication list.

What is Grease

Grease is more stable, requires less maintenance, and leaks considerably less than conventional oils
Grease Gun-Components
 Greasing Procedure

Stroke length of Grease gun

Greasing Procedure

Clean Grease Gun Clean Grease Nipple Clean Grease Nipple

Remove waste grease

Remove waste grease Clean Greasing Point Clean Greasing Point Clean Surface after lubrication
Effect of Over lubrication

Old waste grease not cleaned and spread on shear

Excess Grease falls on Looper rolls
pinch roll can cause slippage
