Metal stamping facilities operate in a high-pressure, high-output environment. Every unplanned shutdown cuts deep into profitability and stretches already thin resources.
The Current Belief: Many operations rely on reactive maintenance or “run-to-fail” approaches, addressing issues only after equipment fails.
The Overlooked Problem: Delayed maintenance not only increases unplanned downtime but also accelerates wear, raises costs and forces teams to work in crisis mode. According to Forbes, plants operating inefficient maintenance programs can spend up to four times more on repairs than those with proactive processes. The average auto manufacturer can lose up to $22,000 per minute of downtime, and unplanned shutdowns cost U.S. manufacturers an estimated $50 billion each year.
The result? Higher costs, lost production and larger work order backlogs. For many plants, restricted access to machines (due to unyielding production schedules) means preventive work is routinely postponed until a failure forces the issue.
Data-Driven Lubrication Programs. Less Downtime. More Uptime.
AMSOIL Industrial isn’t just a lubricant supplier. We’re a partner in your facility’s productivity. AMSOIL provides high-quality, application-specific lubricants that resist varnish and reduce micropitting, while our technical teams work alongside you to interpret oil analysis reports, set up customized maintenance routines and mitigate unanticipated problems.
Partnering with AMSOIL Industrial Provides:Situation Assessment
We review your plant’s lubrication procedures, oil analysis, alarm log and maintenance records.
Impact Quantification
We identify unplanned downtime, track costs (labor, lost output, repairs) and highlight hidden losses across labor, production and overhead.
AMSOIL in Action
Operation managers and maintenance leaders use our approach to transition from “firefighting” breakdowns to confident, data-backed routines. Even in plants lacking experienced personnel, our experts step in with guidance, saving valuable staff time.
Don’t settle for reactive maintenance or frequent shutdowns. Start experiencing reliable performance, longer equipment life and outstanding sustainability compliance with our advanced lubrication solutions.
* - Required Field
Varnish buildup typically occurs due to the oxidation and thermal degradation of lubricants. Over time, these degraded oil byproducts form insoluble deposits that adhere to surfaces within the system, causing operational inefficiencies and potential equipment failure.
How can varnish affect equipment performance?Varnish can lead to reduced heat transfer efficiency, valve sticking, increased friction and clogging of key system components. Left unresolved, these issues can result in unplanned downtime, higher maintenance costs and even premature equipment failure.
What methods are available for removing varnish?Our advanced varnish removal solutions include specialized filtration systems, chemical cleaning processes and proactive monitoring strategies. These approaches are designed to mitigate existing varnish and prevent its recurrence, ensuring optimal equipment performance.
Can varnish prevention measures save operational costs?Yes, implementing varnish prevention measures can significantly reduce maintenance expenses, extend equipment life and prevent costly unplanned shutdowns. Proactive varnish mitigation leads to improved operational efficiency and reduced downtime.
How do I select the right solution for my application?Our team of experts will work with you to assess your specific needs and recommend the most effective varnish removal and prevention solutions. Contact us today with the details of your application or challenge for personalized assistance.
