| How to Keep Moisture Out of Grease |

| When changing large grease drums, you may find condensate on top of the follower plate. To eliminate this problem, place two or three paper towels on top of the plate in the new drum. When it is empty, the towels will have absorbed the water. Be sure to change the towels when you change the drum. (Kenneth Mitchell, International Paper)

| Better Than a Bull's-eye!
Most bull’s-eye level gauges confirm oil volume but don’t identify root causes and symptoms of machine failure. Luneta’s Condition Monitoring Pod™ allows early detection of abnormal machine and lubricant health conditions.

From "Machinery Condition Monitoring: Principles and Practices":
In machinery condition monitoring, a decision on the condition of a machine is dependent on the nature of its signals. For example, if the machine produces excessive noise and vibration, one gets a clue that something is not normal with the machine. These signals are usually time varying and need to be understood because they carry the information from the machine to the decision system, which can be a developed software or a person. |
