Case Studies
Upgrading the Grease on Carpet Tufting Pneumatic System
Challenge
The pneumatic systems on the tufting machines were constantly filling with moisture causing corrosion and improper performance.
Our client was looking for a product that would:
- Absorb moisture to reduce corrosion of the pneumatic components
- Disperse dirt and debris and remove gums and varnish
- Easily clean with soap and water.
Product featured in the case study:
Chesterton 650 AML – high-performing, biodegradable lubricant designed to creep into internal workings of chains, cables, pneumatics, needle bearings, and sliding mechanisms.
