Maintenance tip of the month: Automatic drains for lubricant systems

Moisture and condensation in lubricant pumping systems can lead to rust, corrosion, and premature pump failure. An automatic drain helps prevent these problems by continuously removing accumulated moisture from the system before it can cause damage.

Beyond preventing rust and contamination, auto-drainage can save valuable maintenance time and reduce repair costs. Preventing moisture buildup can mean fewer clogged pumps, less downtime, and fewer replacement parts. By investing in an automatic drain, it can extend the useful life of your equipment, protecting and extending the reliability of your equipment.

Here are before and after pictures of a dirty pump, and after it has been cleaned.
