Routine inspections of your automatic lubrication system are among the most successful ways to protect heavy machinery, maintain steady production, and reduce costly repairs. In dynamic industrial environments, lubrication issues often go unnoticed until failure occurs, resulting in expensive downtime, missed production, and preventable repairs. Regular inspections from LH Travis help prevent these problems and ensure your system operates at an optimum level.
Why Are Lubrication System Inspections Important?
- Keep friction and wear under control.
If there’s a lack of lubricant, bearings, shafts, and all moving components run unprotected and inefficiently. Over time, this leads to heat, excess wear, and costly part replacements.
- Help to catch problems early.
From contaminated lubricant to failing pumps or faulty injectors, inspections identify issues long before they escalate into equipment failure.
- Boost performance and extend machine lifespan.
A well-maintained lubrication system improves efficiency, reduces vibration, and supports consistent production, saving your operation time and money.
What You Can Expect From an Inspection
When you schedule an inspection with LH Travis, you’re getting a fully-equipped, on-site evaluation performed by trained technicians with decades of experience.
During an inspection, our technicians review every part of your lubrication system to ensure proper delivery and performance. This includes:
- Checking overall lubricant levels
- Assessing lubricant for quality and contamination
- Monitoring system pressure and flow
- Reviewing lines, hoses, and fittings for leaks or blockages
- Inspecting filters, strainers, and screens
Afterward, you’ll receive a report outlining recommendations, areas for improvement, and a summary of any parts and labor needed for repairs.
Our inspection programs here at LH Travis are available monthly, quarterly, or annually, helping increase machine availability, reduce unscheduled downtime, cut maintenance costs, and simplify your overall workflow.
