Elaboração de um plano de lubrificação em uma indústria metalúrgica

Abstract

Over the years, the preventive maintenance of equipment breakage in the industry hás become more often, one of the key points in this analysis is the machines lubrication plan. This work aims to elaborate a lubrication plan for a metallurgical industry. All equipment comprising the plan were listed, besides their physical conditions and installation location. Based on this information, the type of lubricant was selected for each respective lubrication point. The lubrication interval of the points was estimated through information in the manuals of the machines, consulting the literature, in addition to suggestions from the factory manager. Having gathered all the information, a lubrication plan that contains all the lubrication points in the plant was prepared. The activities were distributed on a weekly basis, in a total of 52 weeks/year. The need for a lubrication plan in industrial activities could be concluded, in order to guarantee greater availability of equipment, preventing breaks and damage, thus reducing the costs of unplanned maintenance.
