Material Saving
Lower lubrication intervals.

Description of situation
Bearings were lubricated with a Lithium Complex EP2 grease. This resulted in repetitive bearing failures in shredders and dryers and a lot of downtime. To compensate that, our client was overlubricating these bearings at very short intervals.
