Hi Cash, Yes, our system ensures that the correct grease is used and that the correct amount is applied at the right time.

I heard a story from a nearby power plant the other day of the incorrect grease being applied to a bearing. The two mismatched greases reacted poorly and turned to a wax inside the bearing. Needless to say, the bearing failed catastrophically very soon after. Our system not only tracks the grease type digitally, but we also have colour coding on our tags and head units to help humans easily match colours to ensure they have the right grease in the gun too.

Cheers

I have witnessed this first hand... it is not great when a component of one grease starts a polymerization reaction in another grease. In one case, the grease mixture basically became hard rubber.
