Summit CO-150 Chain Oil Saves Manufacturing Plant Thousands of Dollars.

We are pleased to announce that after a one year trial with a large products manufacturing company, Summit Chain Oil CO-150 has saved their plant over $20,000 in chains alone. This figure does not include the number of man hours that have been saved due to the equipment not being down. One maintenance manager told Ottsen that he is able to concentrate on other areas in the plant that need his attention. They used to have to stop their work to change out the chains every 3 to 6 months. Since the test began however they have not had to change out one chain!

Equipment and Production are up in the plant while downtime is at an all-time low. In addition to our test plant here in town we have been selling the Summit CO-150 Chain oil to other customers who have all reported savings in both man hours as well as materials.

Uses include Chains, Cables in elevator systems, and other areas that need a great lubricant that stays in place and does not wash off. Proof once again that when it comes to quality Summit Industrial products are hard to beat!

Ottsen Fact (Silica Gel):

Silica gel granules are made up of a vast network of inter-connecting microscopic pores, which attract and hold moisture by a phenomena known as physical adsorption and capillary condensation.

A single teaspoon of Silica Gel has an internal adsorptive area equivalent to an entire football field, including both of the end zones.

Call us here at the Ottsen Oil Company to find the ISOCLEAN Breather that fits your system the best.
