The Challenge

Ensign Emblems operates highly specialized embroidery machines that require daily oiling as part of their maintenance to ensure they operate at peak performance levels. The company needed to sample lubricant on one of their embroidery machines to evaluate performance improvements.

Testing Methodology

  • Instructed technician to closely monitor the machine and to hit the emergency stop at the first sign of anything unusual
  • Immediately upon oiling the hook mechanism, the shaft, and the head, the machine quieted down and began to run more smoothly
  • Technician felt the machine was running so well there was no need to re-spot

Results Achieved

Immediate Benefits

  • Quieter operation – Machine noise reduced immediately
  • Smoother running – Less vibration and mechanical stress
  • Extended lubrication intervals – From daily to every five weeks
  • Reduced maintenance time – Huge amount of production time saved

Long-Term Results

  • Lubricant added to five other machines as a broader test
  • After eight months, determined this lubricant improved machinery significantly
  • Embroidery machines only require oiling once every five weeks
  • Savings in production time for each manufacturing shift operated by the plant

Key Quote

"It is one of the most amazing products that I have seen come along in years. I highly recommend this product to anyone using or operating machinery or equipment that requires continual lubrication."

— Sylvester Zielak, Vice President & Director of Maintenance, Ensign Emblems, Ltd.
