one of the world’s largest and fastest growing spindle remanufacturers, located in Manchester, NH, are advising its customers who utilize high frequency grinding spindles to consider air/oil lubrication to help eliminate the negative impact on the environment that other types of lubrication systems may cause. GTI has been offering air/oil lubrication systems since 2004 to customers in various industries.
“Although being environmentally-
conscious in your manufacturing practices is not a new trend, at GTI its part of our core business practices. As new systems become available that may assist companies in improving their work environment while also minimizing the negative effects on the environment that air/oil mist lubrication can have, then we have the responsibility to offer this type of air/oil injection lubrication systems to our customers,” remarks Thomas Hoenig, GTI President.
Air/oil Injection provides many advantages over air/oil mist lubrication, which includes:
More precise metered amount of oil provided to the lubrication points
Dramatically decreases oil consumption by 2/3
Eliminates work environment contamination
Removes occurrence of venturi becoming clogged/varnished
Ability to provide lubrication to more points using only one system
Fully serviced in the U.S.
One key selling point that GTI stresses to its customers, such as NTN Driveshaft in Columbus Ohio, in considering the adoption of air/oil lubrication for use on their high frequency grinding spindles can primarily be contributed to its eliminating harmful contaminates in the work environment. Factors such as having no oil fog in the air, no oil residue on machines or floors, and no oil to be inhaled by workers have provided tremendous benefits to the company and its employees. Another significant benefit concerns reductions in spindle failure rates, as NTN realized a reduction in excess of 60%.
