1. Oil has deteriorated: There are many reasons that can cause the deterioration of lubricating oil, including high temperature, oxidation (some metals can accelerate the oxidation of lubricating oil), nitrification, water decomposition, and the precipitation of additives in lubricating oil. During the deterioration process, oil sludge, paint film, acidic substances, and certain substances that are prone to chemical reactions will be generated. The consequences of not washing: corroding the machine, poor oil flow, infecting new oil, causing premature deterioration of newly replaced oil, causing mechanical damage or affecting normal mechanical movement.
2. Filter issue: Impurities in the oil cannot be filtered out. Impurities have entered the lubrication system of the compressor and need to be removed from the system through flushing. Consequences of not rinsing: causing wear and tear on machine components.
3. Newly purchased machines, repaired machines: Newly purchased machines may leave impurities inside during manufacturing. During machine repair, impurities such as sand, welding slag, drilling chips, and filing materials may be introduced. In addition, if the equipment upstream of the lubrication system of the buckle press malfunctions and there are worn debris, it can also harm other components. The consequences of not washing: clogging the filter, causing component wear, affecting the normal movement of the machinery, causing problems with the new machine shortly after use, and the repaired machine having to be repaired again.
4. Machines that have been idle for a long time: Machines that have not been started for a long time are prone to dust, accumulation of debris, and moisture. The oil tank and pipeline are dirty. Consequences of not rinsing: causing wear and tear on machine components.
5. Coolant leakage: When coolant mixes with oil, it causes poor oil flow, affects lubrication performance, forms acidic substances, sludge, and deposits, leading to lubricant failure. The consequences of not flushing: poor oil flow, clogged filter element, corrosion of the machine, affecting the normal operation of the machinery, and poor lubrication.
6. After mixing or misuse of lubricating oil. Do not mix or substitute different lubricating oils. Mixing or substituting will not only affect the performance of the lubricating oil, but also cause a series of problems. The consequences of not flushing: poor oil flow, clogged filter element, poor lubrication, and mechanical damage.
7. Lubricating oil breeds bacteria and deteriorates. The harm of water to lubricating oil is multifaceted, one of which is the easy growth of bacteria. A large number of bacteria can cause lubricating oil to deteriorate, smell foul, have a putrid odor, and generate sludge, paint film, acidic substances, and sediment.
