Stay Productive with Proactive Maintenance for Metal Stamping
Stay Productive with Proactive Maintenance for Metal Stamping
SOLUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS LEADERS
In metal stamping operations, every moment counts. AMSOIL Industrial provides advanced lubricant solutions designed to reduce equipment failures and keep your production lines moving. With our support, your team can stay focused on maintaining efficiency and meeting goals, even in the face of tight resources and increasing demands.
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.
CRITICAL ISSUES IN METAL STAMPING LUBRICATION
Varnish and sludge causing stuck valves and shortened oil life.
Contamination by dirt, water or wear particles resulting in premature failures.
Heat and oxidation leading to rapid oil breakdown.
Foam, dirty oil supplies and unscheduled downtime from emergency shut-offs.
Misapplied lubricants and lack of staff expertise.
Micropitting wear resulting in vibration, misalignment and possible gear failure.
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.

FAQs
What causes varnish buildup in industrial equipment?
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.
