Synthetic machine lubricants offer superior performance, including better viscosity stability, protection against wear and tear, and enhanced oxidation resistance. Trent Richardson, Area Manager at Tulco Oils, emphasises the importance of using high-performance lubricants in industrial applications.

The advantages of synthetic machine lubricants

As a Machinery Lubrication Consultant for Tulco Oils, I’ve seen firsthand the transformative impact of using high-performance lubricants in industrial applications. In today’s competitive landscape, the right lubrication strategy isn’t just about keeping machines running—it’s about maximising efficiency, reducing downtime, and extending equipment life. That’s where synthetic machine lubricants make all the difference.

At Tulco Oils, the Lubsoil® brand is engineered to deliver top-tier performance. We focus on cutting-edge fluid technologies designed to enable operations to run efficiently. Let’s explore why switching to synthetic lubricants can be a game-changer for your operations.   

Synthetic machine lubricants

Synthetic machine lubricants have gained prominence in various industries due to their superior performance and numerous advantages over conventional mineral oils. These lubricants are engineered for high performance, offering better viscosity stability, protection against wear and tear, and enhanced oxidation resistance.

Extended equipment life and reduced wear

Synthetic lubricants provide superior wear protection, reducing friction and minimising component damage. This results in fewer breakdowns and longer service life for critical machinery.

Thermal stability and oxidation resistance

High temperatures can quickly degrade conventional oils, leading to sludge and varnish buildup. Synthetic lubricants offer exceptional resistance to oxidation and thermal breakdown, keeping systems clean and efficient for extended periods.

Superior low-temperature performance

In colder environments, synthetic lubricants maintain excellent fluidity at low temperatures, ensuring smooth startup and minimising wear during cold conditions. Their ability to perform well in extreme cold helps reduce the risk of equipment damage, improve reliability, and extend the lifespan of machinery operating in harsh climates.

Energy efficiency and cost savings

Synthetic lubricants improve energy efficiency by reducing friction and heat dissipation, which leads to lower power consumption and operational costs. Their extended drain intervals result in fewer oil changes, minimising downtime and maintenance expenses. This combination of benefits helps businesses reduce overall operational costs while improving performance and reliability. With longer-lasting lubrication, synthetic oils offer a more cost-effective and efficient solution for equipment maintenance.

Lubrication strategy

All these factors decrease the overall costs of running your operations. Switching to synthetic lubricants is a logical step to enhance equipment’s reliability, efficiency, and longevity. By lowering power consumption, extending oil-drain intervals, and reducing maintenance expenses, synthetic oils provide a cost-effective solution for businesses.
