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
Process Upgrading or Changing – Can it Cause Unexpected Changes to the Product?
Sometimes it is necessary to change processes to improve productivity. However, there is a concern that the finished product may look different to the customer, even if the performance is
Automating process plants – common mistakes and how to avoid them
The Fears “Can we use this?”, asked the client when pointing to the two grease kettles during a recent commissioning visit, “without using this?”, when pointing to the two control
