Why Machine Oil is necessary for Heavy Machinery

Posted on | by Delahenty Machinery | Leave a Comment on Why Machine Oil is necessary for Heavy Machinery
Machine Oil

Machine oil is a kind of lubricant/fluid that is used in a diverse range of industrial applications. It was used in the manufacturing area we are talking about today to reduce wear and friction. The entire purpose of it is to protect the machine from corrosion, deterioration, and rust so that the user can keep it for as long as possible. Equipment like cranes, train tracks, cars .. just about anything! And this helps eliminate the expenses of buying new machines.

Why Machine Oil is necessary for Heavy Machinery

Machine Lubricant is necessary for Friction and Temperature Tolerance in Heavy Machinery. 

Friction and temperature tolerance can be problematic in industrial Machinery. Heat build-up over time can lead to decreased performance, additional maintenance, and downtime. Each machine requires its burning engine oil at different levels to run efficiently.

Machine oil is a lubrication maintenance agent for internal combustion engines and fuel-fed equipment. It keeps friction and temperature tolerable so equipment won’t deteriorate over time. This is true in any machine that uses rotating or reciprocating parts.

Machine Oil is necessary for Removing Contaminants in Heavy Machinery 

One of the essential parts of maintaining heavy Machinery includes applying machine lubricant.

The manufacturer uses machine lubricant in different parts of the machine, which are prone to contamination and wear. This helps in preventing contamination in the device and increases its life.

Machine Oil is used for keeping rubber gaskets and seals from drying out in heavy Machinery. 

Machine Oil is necessary for the proper functioning of mechanical equipment. Without machine oil, the rubber gaskets and seals in your heavy Machinery will dry out and fail. And then, you’ll be without a machine. The cost of repair can be costly and time-consuming. So, if you are serious about ensuring that your Machinery operates correctly and effectively all the time, then you need to have some machine oil on hand.

Machine Lubricant reduces Service and Maintenance costs in Heavy Machinery

Maintenance of Heavy Machinery is the major contributing factor to maintenance costs.

Heavy Machinery requires high maintenance levels, and depending on what kind of machine it is; it can be very costly to maintain. Machine lubricant is a lubricant that significantly reduces the amount of lubrication your devices need as well as the frequency, resulting in massive reductions in maintenance costs.

Machine Lubricant reduces Service and Maintenance costs in Heavy Machinery

Final Note 

Machine oil became a necessity with the introduction of the internal combustion engine. To function correctly, machines need regular lubrication to keep in working condition. The oil must be constantly supplied, along with belts and filters.

At Delahenty Machinery company, we stock a great range of high-quality machine oils and filters. Widely used in industrial equipment, they improve the performance and lifespan of your valuable machines. We deliver the best and most influential machine lubricant to the customers. Therefore purchase our machine oil products and enjoy the benefits of these products.

Mandrel Pipe Bender – Types, How it Works and Advantages

Posted on | by Delahenty Machinery | Leave a Comment on Mandrel Pipe Bender – Types, How it Works and Advantages
Mandrel Pipe Bender

Mandrel pipe bender is a standard bending solution currently used by many manufacturing industries. From diverse applications to automotive exhaust, exercise equipment, and aerospace, mandrel bending is a one-stop solution for almost all bending journeys.

Mandrel Pipe Bending Machines

Types of Mandrel Pipe Benders

  • Plug Mandrel Pipe Benders – Plug mandrel prevents the pipe from flattening, wrinkles or kinks in the process of bending. It is easy to maintain and cost-savvy also.
  • Form Mandrel -When more support is needed, we opt for a Form mandrel. It helps the pipe to get a proper and perfect curve.
  • Ball Mandrel – It is used to support the pipe beyond the tangent. Ball mandrel helps in the critical and precise bending process.
  • Sand Mandrel – We use this mandrel to prevent the pipe from collapsing and retain the pipe’s contrariety during bending. In this, we stuff pipe from both ends and apply heat to make it pliable.

How Mandrel Pipe Bender works

A mandrel pipe bender is the same as a regular tube bender. We place the mandrel in a pipe or tube at the point of the bend. We have some different types of mandrels, but we use a straight rod that contains many flexible balls most of the time.

Before bending the pipe, our selected mandrel needs to match the pipe’s diameter. And it should be up to 1.5 times the diameter of the pipe. Then Use a soft mandrel if you are bending hard tubing and a hard mandrel if you are bending soft tubing.

It is how the process begins. Once the mandrel is placed inside the pipe, we push the pipe against the former diet with pressure, and the wiper dies to get the required angle.

The whole purpose of using a mandrel pipe or tube bender is to keep away wrinkling concerns in bending.  With more pressure on the pipe, you can almost eliminate the risk of wrinkling in pipe or tube bending

However, if you still face the same problem, you need to take these steps into cogitation.

  • Check the mandrel insertion rate
  • The amount of lubrication you use
  • Check the condition of the wiper die
  •  Or maybe, Wrong mandrel for the type of pipe metal

These points will be a problem solver for your bending the pipe. Moreover, you should know that Mandrel pipe benders cannot help with the rebounding process like other pipe benders.

Benefits of using Mandrel pipe or tube bender

Mandrel pipe bending offers several advantages. Out of them, one of the best advantages is it supports pipe or tube during their bending approach. Mandrel pipe bending helps in averting the most common problems and issues related to pipe or tube bending.

It is a specific type of pipe bending machine that maintains the pipe bending diameter. Primarily, we use mandrel pipe benders to prevent it from flattening and other general bending problems, such as wrinkles, buckling and kinks. This machinery gives support to the pipe and grips it energetically in the groove of the bend die.
