Filtration - Wet/ Dry

WET / DRY Filtration, there are two distinct needs in any plant for Filtration.

DRY Filtration is the active filtering of equipment sumps that are linked to circulation systems. We dry and clean the air down to 2 micron before it enters a system. This way we eliminate many of the issues environments present such as water and dirt ingress. As they say there are may ways to skin a cat.
WET Filtration is the filtering of fluids down to 2 micron in a BY-PASS Kidney Loop system. This is a very cost effective way of reducing contaminants. The cleaner the fluids the longer their life and lower the WEAR rates for components. In a country where currency exchange rate do not favour imports this EXTENSION OF COMPONENT life is vital to reduce operating costs. Effective Filtration cleans oil. Cleaning oil saves money.

Equipment

Supply of LUBRICATION related equipment of high quality and manufactured in Australia is a foundation for our LUBRICATION
programmes. This could be as simple as;

OIL SAFE CONTAINER for dispensing lubricants and we align this with our Labelling of application points with colour to make it easy to follow
Design and building of Oil stores another key element of a Lubrication PROGRAMME
Oil Filtration equipment and tailored design as sustainable solutions are critical to make a Preventative lube programme deliver
INDISOL GO ALL OUT TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS

Tagging System

TAGGING of Lubricants application points and also oil store stock makes sense to prevent incorrect lubricants (oils and greases) being applied and which could result in costly failures. INDISOL work with Customers to find a best fit solution but start with a structured system which we assist in implementing and train your staff on.
It does not end there we also develop and have our print partners produce specialist safety signs for your operation

Coolants and detergents

Coolants and detergents are integral support products when involved with LUBRICATION.
INDISOL stock and supply coolants to meet AS AS2108 2004, Type A coolants and Type B coolants
- Type A coolants are primarily antifreeze/summer coolant (antiboil) coolants with corrosion inhibitor
- Type B coolants (Termed OAT) are coolants with corrosion inhibitors only
INDISOL supply both and hybrid versions to meet your needs
Detergents and Cleaners are vital for maintaining factories and plant. This can vary from dish washers to more aggressive detergents to
clean plant right down to hand cleaners
INDISOL have decades of experience in supply of both detergent water based solutions and Solvent solutions

Lubrication Management Audits and Support

Safe Working with Lubrication/ Food Grade Lubricants (HACCP - LLCP Lube Surveys)

37 years ago Shaun started out doing lubrication surveys in Engineering and Steelworks. This moved onto Mining, Cement plants ,
marine shipping, FOOD GRADE PLANTS, Timber Mills and much more.
- It is the foundation to you LAMS programme and the more concise the foundation the better the maintenance programme.
- Get the Lube Survey right and you are 75% home, LET INDISOL assist with introducing you to this tool
FOOD GRADE PLANTS are slowly being encouraged to make use of Food grade Lubricants, a costly affair at best.
- Completion of a LUBRICANTS CRITICAL CONTROL POINTS audit and developing a Lubrication survey that ensure you do not over state your needs is a speciality INDISOL are well versed in. This will dove tail back into your HACCP.
LUBRICATION SURVEYS done correctly will save money and reduce waste of resources such as People, Consumables and prevent failures
- Good Lube Surveys should also identify Safe Work Practises for your operation
- Focus on CRADLE to GRAVE Product Stewardship
- Save the environment

Oil Condition Monitoring

Oil Condition Monitoring is one of the most critical TOOLS when working at protecting equipment components and lubricants (oils and greases). Using you Lubrication Survey it becomes apparent very quickly which pieces of your process are critical and need attention other than just fitting tools
- OCM allows you to plan effective preventative measures of equipment maintenance and to detect early wear trends
- Using the Tool more effectively places at your disposal Predictive evaluation tools to forecast forward life of components and fluids
OCM can reduce oil consumption and reduce operating Costs save MONEY with specialist support from INDISOL

The 6 R’s

Lubrication Fundamentals is about getting the basics right

1. Right Application

know where it must go

2. Right Lubricant

Lubricants MUST always be FIT for PURPOSE – don’t CUT corners

3. Right Quantity

over/under Lubrication results in waste and often damage

4. Right Re-Lube Frequency

apply as OEM re-lube recommends and avoid GUESS work

5. Right Quality

Clean lubricants (oils & greases are vital to reduce wear & tear), equally some lubricants are sensitive to aging, so we advise not to over purchase and to rotate stock. Reference OCM samples assist greatly in ensuring you are getting what you expected.

5. Right People

Informed/attitude/train people/ASK if not SURE

Good Lubrication practises reduce wear, failures and SAVE MONEY
