Ambient temperature near hot rolling mills and hot forging presses is higher than most other metal forming operations. Most greases that are used in centralised lubrication system of these equipments tend to lose their viscosity at temperatures above 100-150 degrees and begin to flow freely, sometimes flowing out of the lubrication system. Due to overflow or leakages in centralised lubrication of presses, the chequered plates and surrounding areas around the forging press are constantly dirty due to oil overflow and spills. Many times, tramp oil and die lubricant together get accumulated at the bottom/ foundation of the forging press. Apart from oil wastage, it takes special efforts to pump out this dirty black oil from below the forging press. It poses a serious fire hazard as a hot billet or loose scale from hot billet fallen into the accumulated oil below forging press can ignite large fires immediately. At the same time, too thick grease will not flow effortlessly throughout the centralised lubrication system of forging press and will result in choking of press.
