Case Studies

The Chesterton 652 Pneumatic Lubricant & Conditioner was poured into the solenoids oil cup. Due to the penetration and cleaning ability of 652, it can provide a lubricating, clean film inside the valve without varnishing the insides of the valve. The plant undertook a 1 month trial and found that no valves became troublesome, so the decision was made to use 652 continuously.

Repair cost = USD 130 / each
Solenoid valve = 20 Ea. / 6 months = 40 Ea./year
Cost of Repair = USD 5,200 /year
