• Minimised residue to less than 1% in the case of grease, and even 0.3% in the case of oils. Approximately 10 kg grease residue is left in a 1000 litre Fluid-Bag after discharge, in comparison 25-30 kg is left / 5 drums.
It is not necessary to open the top of the container when discharging avoiding possible airborne contamination.
The right container is key for preventive maintenance One of the first things to consider in lubrication management is contamination control. Well planned lubricant storage and handling is an important and cost-effective way to enhance equipment reliability and lifecycle. Lubrication is not only finding the right lubricant and defining the correct service intervals, but equally important is keeping the lubricant clean.
On the issue of contamination, recent trials with Fluid-Bag stored transformer oil exposed to the elements only at 23 months showed the first signs of moisture ingress with the product still within specification.
Machinery of whatever type requires contaminate free lubrication and maintenance with repairs and resultant down time costly. The Fluid-Bag provides a unique, safe, contaminant free environment in which to store and dispense all forms of lubricant under the most arduous conditions.
Dispensing directly from Fluid-Bags into the equipment further avoids contamination. Fluid-Bag handling equipment has also been designed to allow containers to be loaded onto maintenance trucks servicing vehicles and equipment in the field. Specialist equipment is also available allowing Fluid-Bags to be taken underground in mining operations.
The inner container is single-use, consequently there is no risk of contamination from reused or topped up containers.
Health and disposal Handling and labour costs are reduced, a single 1000 litre container compared to 5 standard 200 litre drums. The heavy lifting of drums is avoided, thus safeguarding operator health and safety. This provides operators with an easy to use, efficient and clean system naturally contributing to the overall success of any maintenance programme.
Empty Fluid-Bags can be refilled with waste oil in the workshop. Disposal costs are minimal - all components are recyclable or can be incinerated.
In the wider picture Fluid-Bag sets out to provide the lubricant supplier and machinery user, in whatever industry, with a unique system that ensures complete lubricant protection and with it peace of mind.
