Eliminate Contamination with Proper Lubricant Management
Expert Storage, Dispensing, and Identification Solutions
Cross-contamination can quietly destroy lubricant quality and drive up costs. PBM Services designs and installs color-coded, fully labeled storage and dispensing lubricant management systems—complete with filtration—to keep new and used lubricants pure, properly identified, and ready for safe, efficient use.
Why Proper Lubricant Management Matters
Proper storage, dispensing, and identification of lubricants are essential to prevent costly issues like:
- Cross-contamination between different lubricants
- Mixing of used oils and coolants, which increases disposal costs and eliminates recycling opportunities
- Introduction of dirty or degraded lubricants into equipment
Best Practices for Success
Follow these key steps to maintain lubricant quality and integrity:
1. Clearly Label Everything
- Label all equipment with the exact lubricant it requires
- Use the same identification system on storage containers, dispensers, and transfer tools
- Apply color-coding for quick, error-free recognition
2. Store New and Used Lubricants Separately
- Dedicate isolated containers for new lubricants
- Provide separate, clearly marked containers for collecting used oils and coolants
- Prevent mixing to control disposal costs and enable potential repurposing
3. Filter New Lubricants Before Use
- Always test and filter new lubricants prior to adding them to equipment
- Use compact filtering units for smaller volumes
- Install full-scale filtering systems for high-volume operations
4. Maintain Cleanliness During Transfer
- Deploy portable filtering and dispensing carts to keep lubricants clean right up to the fill point
- Use color-coded tools (hoses, funnels, pumps) to reinforce identification and prevent mix-ups
