Improving Machinery Reliability with Heinz Bloch

Oil Mist Lubrication with Heinz Bloch Lubrication is one of the most important aspects in asset management and having a sophisticated tool for this purpose makes a real difference to facilitate an organization's lubrication program. This is where oil mist lubrication helps to achieve your lubrication goals. Its mechanism is based on creating a slightly pressured area that prevents moisture and other contaminants to enter into the bearing itself which also preserves the integrity of any vulnerable components as well as your lubricant. That's how oil mist lubrication differs greatly from the traditional lubrication as it effectively keeps your lubricant pure from contaminants in the air outside. The points addressed in this podcast highlight:  Why is lubrication one of the most important aspects in asset management? What are the benefits of this method? What are the issues associated with lubrication?   Other benefits of this method include reduction in labor hours because you don't have to replace lubricant consistently and less failures due to intact bearing integrity which saves you a lot of time and money in the long run. It also results in better operating conditions for your machine and that greatly supports your reliability program throughout the facilities. The machinery uptime record for oil mist lubrication alone shows incredible results along with certain advantages that allow you to monitor condition of your machines and take preventive actions before a bearing or a pump failure occurs. The only issue with this lubrication method is the cost associated with it usually because of the rewards you have to pay to the people working on this program. That cost can be adjusted if the organizations also implement this method for their electric motors that will save them countless labor hours over the period of time. It is a common practice in the organizations to bring in reliability engineers for their expertise when a program is well underway and something goes wrong or doesn't fit in the allocated resources for that specific program. When something like that occurs, a lot of time and resources are already wasted in the early stages. A better practice would be to seek the advice and help of reliability engineers before the header systems are put in place and then organize the program properly within the budget limits. Letting the corporate politics in the way wouldn't help anyone and the program would become a messy and expensive endeavor after resources have been put into it without a detailed and well thought-out, strategic plan. There are a lot of resources out there to get you started with oil mist lubrication. Heinz Bloch himself has been associated with the program for a long time and has authored a couple of books on the topic. He also has an upcoming book that would be more focused on strategic side of things for oil mist lubrication. He has great many resources to help you understand the basic as well advanced subject matter for the program. He along with his colleague, provides valuable coaching to help engineers get better at oil mist lubrication based on his extensive experience and proven record in the field. In the end, it all comes down to covering all the basics while designing and installing the system along with the expertise that an organization brings along with it.

199-Oil Mist Lubrication with Heinz Bloch

Machinery Failure Analysis and Troubleshooting with Heinz Bloch The organizations often tend to ignore some simple things when they are mitigating a machinery failure. Some of the important things being; why did the failure occur? Who should be asked about it? What kind of measures can be taken so that it doesn t occur again? Most of the time, it is just changing parts without doing the proper analysis or troubleshooting for that matter. What you should be doing as a professional organization is, train your technicians about step by step problem solving by giving them test examples. The technicians should be able to contribute to the solutions and they should be encouraged to do so. In this episode, we covered:  Why is communication is critical? The value of continuing education! Why do you need to include all departments? And much more!   There should be procedures in place to carry out jobs against a job function. The work orders should be written and the people with prior experience should be consulted in the process. Every time there is a job function to be carried out, the person on the job should consult with the other relevant personnel who might have mitigated similar problems. There should be regular meetings to share knowledge and learn best practices. Open communication is critical to resolve problems and implement the solutions, the right way. Once the engineers and technicians along with other relevant departments have identified the problem and made a repair, they should document it. In that way, they would have proof of analysis and record of results. When they are gathering samples, evidence, and results; it leads to data building and in the longer run, the organizations can trend that data to recall it when the time comes. Mechanical issues like bearing and seal failures can be mitigated and documented to use the information later on. The meetings should be about finding the root cause of the failures and distributing information rather than putting blames. There should be some accountability in place and the plant manager should take input from everyone while making a decision. He is the one who should take the lead and make sure that measures are taken to pre-emptively solve the problems. Most of the times, there is no need of proper laboratory equipment to get to the cause of the failures. All you need is to train your technician and the personnel taking the samples from the field. Once the correct information has been passed on, they can just find the root cause on their own instead of waiting for a lab report that would have multiple reasons listed in there against a single failure. It all starts from the shop floor and then the information is passed on to all the relevant departments. The technicians are the ones who know the details of the events and all it takes for them is to have a look at the machine, come up with a preliminary analysis, and then share their findings in the PMT meetings for a potential solution. Whatever you decide, the reliability leaders must be a part the process. There must be consistency and accountability in place with proper training for everyone involved.
