In industrial production, the lubricating oil of
Screw Air Compressor is like the "blood" of the equipment, and its replacement cycle directly affects the service life and operational efficiency of the equipment. However, there is a significant difference in the replacement cycle of lubricant under different working conditions, and many enterprises are caught in the predicament of "too frequent replacement increases the cost" or "untimely replacement leads to malfunction" due to the lack of scientific guidance.ZAKF screw air compressor supplier, as a professional manufacturer with leading technology in the industry, will analyze the core logic of the replacement cycle of lubricant for you, based on its many years of experience and innovative technology.
Conventional replacement cycle reference:
Conventional
Screw Compressor: It is usually recommended to replace the lubricant every 2000-4000 hours, which should be adjusted according to the equipment manual and working conditions. Technical breakthrough of ZAKF screw compressor:
Adopting high quality synthetic lubricant and optimized oil circuit design, the replacement interval can be extended to 4000-6000 hours under the same working conditions. For example, after using ZAKF equipment in an automotive parts factory, the replacement cycle was extended from the traditional 2,500 hours to 5,000 hours due to the stronger oxidation resistance of the lubricant, and the annual maintenance cost was reduced by 40%.
Core Factors Affecting Change Intervals and ZAKF Solutions
1. Differences in operating environments and loads
High dust/high temperature scenarios:
Metallurgy, mining and other industries have dusty environments and high loads, and lubricants are easily contaminated or carbonized, so the regular intervals need to be shortened to 1500-3000 hours. ZAKF is equipped with a high-efficiency oil filtration system and an intelligent temperature-controlled cooling device, which reduces the intrusion of contaminants and oxidization of oil, thus reducing the replacement intervals in such scenarios. ZAKF is equipped with a high-efficiency oil filter system and an intelligent temperature-controlled cooling device, which reduces impurity intrusion and oil oxidization and increases the replacement interval to 3000-4500 hours in such cases. Light load clean environment:
If the equipment in the electronics and food industry operates in a low load clean environment, ZAKF lubricant can achieve a replacement cycle of more than 6,000 hours. A food processing plant has adopted ZAKF's customized maintenance program, and the lubricant still meets the test standard even after 7,200 hours of use.
2. Difference in lubricant quality and technology
Mineral oil vs. synthetic oil:
Traditional mineral oil has a short replacement cycle (2000-3000 hours), while ZAKF adopts PAO synthetic base oil with anti-wear agents and anti-oxidizers, which improves the film strength by 50%, improves the high-temperature stability, and prolongs the replacement cycle by more than 50%.
Advantage of ZAKF's unique formula:
lubricant is integrated with nano-sized additives, which can form a protective film on the surface of the rotor and reduce the contamination of the oil by the debris generated by metal friction. After the lubricant is used in a machinery factory, the impurity content of the lubricant is 60% lower than that of its counterparts.
3. Intelligent monitoring capability of equipment
Defects of traditional replacement method:
Relying on manual timing or fixed cycle, it is easy to be replaced untimely due to the fluctuation of actual working conditions.
ZAKF intelligent warning system.
Equipment built-in oil quality sensor, real-time monitoring of the viscosity, acid value and impurity content of the lubricant, when the indicators exceed the threshold value of the automatic alarm, compared with the fixed cycle more accurate. Through this system, a chemical enterprise dynamically adjusts the lubricant replacement cycle, saving 280,000 yuan in lubricant costs annually while ensuring equipment safety.
