Lubrication Storage Tip

1. Create and maintain clean, brightly lighted, climate-controlled main and substorage areas.

2. All lubricants, particularly those in open stores, should be maintained in climate-controlled enclosures. Where climate control is not an option, at least maintain the open stores away from direct exposure to the weather.

3. Minimize human contact with the lubricant during storage and handling as much as possible.

4. Each lubricant package (tote, drum, keg, pail) should be staged for protection from the environment at a minimum through the use of quality breathers and by maintaining closure on all openings (valves, hoses and pipes) when not in use.

Since plants have vastly differing in-plant operating environments and differing tolerances for machine reliability, the steps for accomplishing these objectives will differ.
