How Can a Metered Lubrication System Improve Production Efficiency? From 10 Seconds to 8 Seconds, Boost Production by 25%

LUBRICATION KNOWLEDGE

Why Use a Metered Lubrication System?

Boost Output by Up to 25% — How Precise Lubrication Improves Efficiency & Reduces Environmental Impact

EFFICIENCY

How Metered Lubrication Impacts Production Efficiency

Applying lubricant to machinery or vehicles takes time — and in many cases, the machine must be stopped to do it safely. If the time required for a correctly metered application is 1, then over-lubrication can take 1.1 to 1.2 times longer or more. These small differences add up fast across a production shift.

Theoretical Efficiency Comparison

The following figures are hypothetical. Actual results will vary depending on equipment and environment.

Before — Without Metered System

Lubrication time per station 10 sec

Cycle time per unit 6 sec

Daily output (8 hrs) 2,880 units

After — With Metered System

Lubrication time per station 8 sec

Cycle time per unit 4 sec

Daily output (8 hrs) 3,600 units

Production efficiency increase after adopting a metered lubrication system

25%

※ Note: The above figures are theoretical assumptions. Actual improvement will vary based on factory equipment, line design, and lubricant properties. That said, precise lubrication with a metered system consistently contributes to measurable efficiency gains.

ENVIRONMENT

The Environmental Impact of Over-Lubrication

Timely and precise lubrication not only extends the lifespan of machinery and products — it also reduces environmental impact. Over-lubrication is an easily overlooked but significant source of workplace and environmental contamination.

⚠ The Problem with Over-Lubrication

Take a bearing as an example: if it requires 5 grams of grease, adding more than the specified amount causes the excess to overflow onto other parts of the machine or vehicle.

Splashing & Dripping During Operation

When the machine is running, excess grease can be flung or dripped onto the floor, other equipment, or products — contaminating the work environment and potentially affecting product quality.

Long-Term Environmental Accumulation

Over time, spilled grease increases cleaning costs and may seep into floors or drainage systems — creating pollution problems that are far harder and more expensive to address.

✓ A metered lubrication system delivers only the exact amount needed — eliminating overflow at the source, keeping your facility clean, and reducing environmental impact.

SUMMARY

Three Areas, One Solution

Cost

Reduce lubricant waste, lower maintenance costs, and prevent costly downtime

Efficiency

Shorten lubrication cycle time and boost overall production line output

Environment

Eliminate grease overflow and splashing — keep your facility clean and reduce environmental impact
