Optimised Methods
NEW PROCESS PLANT
What plan do you have for installing a new process plant? We can help clarify what you need and raise a plant proposal tailored for you.
PROCESS PLANT UPDATING
How are you planning to update your process plant? We can modernise and upgrade without necessarily tearing everything out and starting again.
ENERGY COST AND CARBON FOOTPRINT REDUCTION
To what degree are you under pressure to reduce your carbon footprint? We can provide the means to reduce your energy costs through techniques such as waste heat recovery and introduce cost-effective ways to manage fume emissions.
WHAT DEGREE OF ANXIETY ARE YOUR FORMULATONS AND METHODS CAUSING?
We can provide new formulations and methods.. Alternatively, we can review your thickener technologies and other components and make recommendations or carry out a simple sanity-check.
WHAT HEALTH AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS DO YOU NEED?
We can help you look at process protocols to see where operators are exposed to risk and either find ways to change the process or to upgrade the equipment.
Working in the lubricants world since 1989
Our technical know-how is founded upon years in the grease manufacturing industry, working with mono-soap, complex and non-melting grease formulae with a wide variety of processes, for diverse applications. We continuously improve our designs to incorporate the latest technology to maximise process flexibility and ease of use to the operators.

2-Stage vs 1 Stage Grease Manufacture
Small batches of grease are normally made in a single vessel. However, big batches are quite often made using a two-stage process where saponification (making the soap thickener in oil)
A Better Way to Put Powders into a Process Vessel
Surprisingly large and advanced manufactures in the chemical industry still physically empty bags of powders into process vessels via the manway. This can create a dust cloud that either contaminates
Fitting a Grease Plant into a Light Industrial Unit
One of the biggest problems with putting a grease plant into a light industrial unit is the amount of headroom available. Historically, run major companies fitted grease manufacturing plants in
Which Grease Should You Manufacture First?
Contrary to intuition, you need simpler and thus cheaper equipment to manufacture the more expensive complex greases, than cheaper mono-soap greases. Calcium grease, the cheapest type, foams badly during saponification
