LINKING SERIOUS BUYERS TO THE BEST SUPPLIERS
Serving the UK & IE plastics industry
Improved energy efficiency and performance were the key drivers in selecting GPII UltraLife hydraulic oil from ARBURG UK’s initial oil fill partner OMS LubriTek. Since our partnership started we have completed a VRT UltraClean process to cleanse all hydraulic systems on site and implemented a proactive oil management program. We are seeing the benefits of this now through increased production efficiency rates and reductions in mechanical breakdowns leading to significant cost savings.
OMS LubriTek were selected as our initial oil partner due to a long-standing relationship throughout both businesses and a knowledge of what ARBURG UK’s and more importantly “our” customers’ needs are. We have ultimate confidence in OMS LubriTek to carry out a professional job on every machine installation.
Not only do OMS LubriTek offer first class oil management services to our injection moulding machines, they have also solved hydraulic oil related issues experienced. An older machine on site was suffering from premature filter blockages and sticking valves, meaning regular & costly replacement and downtime. The OMS LubriTek oil management technician advised it could be due to varnish and sludge build up which occurs over time. After carrying out analysis this was identified as the issue and recommended to use their VRT UltraClean additive to break down the varnish and sludge and oil change. Since then the issue has been resolved and the machine hasn't missed a beat!
Oil is often viewed as a commodity product and overlooked in its importance, so when embarking on an ambitious Polypipe initiative of “Back to Standard” Oil care and management was extremely high on my priority list. Having oil analysed is a function most companies undertake but the ability to interpret the result, determine a trend and then make sensible and sound recommendations is what sets OMS LubriTek apart from others. I look forward to building on this positive start and developing our partnership into new areas of possibility such as gearbox performance and reduced energy and wear initiatives.
These guys provide an excellent service.
