It may not seem obvious but a well-designed lubricant storage and dispensing room—especially one backed by industry-leading lube room best practices—is almost like a super power for manufacturing plants, factories, and other industrial facilities.
How so?
The BENEFITS OF DEDICATED LUBE ROOMS
The benefits of implementing dedicated lube rooms and efficient fluid handling practices are numerous and wide-ranging, all which can help provide significant cost-savings. This isn’t just theoretical: Real-world case studies have shown tangible and substantial returns on investment for companies that incorporate lubricant storage and dispensing best practices at their sites.
According to industry benchmarks, a properly designed and maintained lube room can deliver:
- Labor Savings
- Extended Machinery Lifespan
- Downtime Reduction
- Oil Conservation
- Increased Oil Lifespan
- Reduced Environmental Hazards
- Improved Facility Safety
The benefits of an efficient lube room are so clear, in fact, that Machinery Lubrication magazine launched the Lube Room Challenge over a decade ago. This annual contest highlights the top lube room transformations from around the globe and demonstrates the value of designing an exceptional lubricant storage and dispensing room in the pursuit of lubrication excellence.
