Textile Oil Machine Performance and Production Quality Tests

Textile Oil Analysis

The textile industry is highly dependent on the quality of the lubricants used in machine performance and production processes. Textile lubricants guarantee that machines reduce friction, protect against wear and ensure smooth handling of yarn or fabric during the production process. However, if these oils lose their properties, it can negatively affect both machine performance and product quality.

They are needle and sinker oils prepared with high quality refined white base oils and modern additives. It is a product developed to be compatible with the finishing processes of knitting machines and weaving looms in the textile industry, showing high performance in the lubrication of needle mechanisms and bearings, and having good washability.

Features;

  • Prevents oxidation, wear and corrosion due to its superior oil film properties.
  • Provides easy start-up in cold running.
  • Provides very good washability thanks to its high quality additives.
  • Provides effective and practical use performance by preventing stoppages and breakages.
  • All equipment also provides excellent protection against rust and oxidation.


Importance of Textile Oil Analysis

Lubricants used in textile machinery perform various tasks, both to improve mechanical performance and to optimize production processes. Regular analysis provides the following advantages:

  1. Increased Machine Performance: Appropriate viscosity and lubricating properties minimize friction and wear.
  2. Preservation of Production Quality: Lubricants that do not stain yarn and fabric surfaces and can be easily cleaned are used.
  3. Extending Machine Life: Mechanical failures caused by factors such as corrosion, wear and oxidation are prevented.
  4. Cost and Time Savings: Reduces costs by reducing maintenance frequency and ensures uninterrupted production.
  5. Environmental Sensitivity: The recycling potential of end-of-life oils is analyzed

What are Textile Oil Testing Standards?

Textile oils are analyzed for performance and reliability in accordance with international standards:

  • ISO 6743-4: Classification of oils used in textile machinery.
  • ASTM D445: Determination of kinematic viscosity of oils.
  • ASTM D974: Determination of the acid number (TAN).
  • DIN 51517: Quality criteria for industrial gear oils.
  • ISO 4406: Classification of particulate contamination in oils.
