Choosing the right grease is often underestimated—and frequently misunderstood. It’s not about brand, price, or even appearance. It’s about application-specific performance. At Ramco Energy, we help clients treat grease selection as a strategy, not guesswork.

1. Start with Application, Not Brand

Different environments require different formulations. High temperature? Go with synthetic blends. Shock loading? Look for EP additives. Our team helps identify the key stressors affecting your equipment.

2. Avoid Common Pitfalls

Using general-purpose grease for specialised equipment

Mixing incompatible base oils (e.g., lithium with calcium sulphonate)

Ignoring OEM recommendations

Ramco audits your grease usage to eliminate high-risk overlaps and inefficiencies.

3. Extend Maintenance Intervals

With the right grease, maintenance frequency decreases, component life increases, and unplanned downtime drops. That means fewer interruptions and lower labour costs.

4. Empower Your Operators

Even great products fail when applied incorrectly. We offer on-site or virtual lubrication training to empower your maintenance team with practical knowledge and correct procedures.

Conclusion

Grease isn’t just a product—it’s a process. From selection to application, Ramco Energy provides full-spectrum support that protects your equipment and improves your profitability.
