Oil flushing is a process used to clean and remove contaminants from the internal components of machinery that use oil for lubrication. The process involves circulating a cleaning solution through the equipment to remove built-up dirt, debris, and other contaminants that can negatively impact performance and potentially cause damage to the equipment.
Oil flushing is typically performed as part of routine maintenance or before commissioning new equipment. It can also be used to restore equipment that has been contaminated due to poor maintenance or other factors. The process is usually carried out by trained technicians who use specialized equipment and follow established procedures to ensure the cleaning solution is properly circulated and removed.
Oil flushing can help extend the life of equipment and improve its performance by removing contaminants that can interfere with proper lubrication and cause component wear. It can also help prevent costly downtime and repairs by identifying potential issues before they become serious problems.
