ANALYSIS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF A LUBRICATION PLAN CONSIDERING THE REDUCTION OF MAINTENANCE COSTS

Abstract

IN THE PRESENT WORK, A STUDY WAS CARRIED OUT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A LUBRICATION PLAN (PL) IN ORDER TO REDUCE MAINTENANCE COSTS WITH REDUCERS AND BEARINGS OF A CORN SEED PROCESSING COMPANY, IN THE CITY OF GOIAN�SIA - GO. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE WORK WAS TO ANALYZE IF WITH THE IMPLEMENTED PL THE COMPANY OBTAINED BENEFITS, IN ORDER TO EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF A STRUCTURED LUBRICATION SYSTEM. FOR THIS, THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LUBRICATION PLAN WAS STUDIED AND THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS WAS SHOWN, WHICH WAS DONE THROUGH A CASE STUDY OF MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT. THROUGH THE TEMPERATURE DATA OF THE GEARBOXES AND BEARINGS, THE VISCOSITY OF THE OILS AND THE ANALYSIS OF VIBRATION AND NOISE WITHIN THE ANALYZED COMPANY, IT WAS POSSIBLE TO CONCLUDE THAT THE CORRECT AND EFFECTIVE LUBRICATION BROUGHT A REDUCTION IN MAINTENANCE COSTS, PARTS AND LABOR, INCREASED THE PRODUCTIVITY, AVOIDING UNSCHEDULED DOWNTIME AND PROVIDED LONGER LIFE FOR SEALS, CROWNS AND BEARINGS.
