Shell LubeAnalyst oil and equipment monitoring

Discover how you can help to improve equipment reliability and cut maintenance costs. The Shell LubeAnalyst service is a health check for your lubricants and machinery. It is a global oil condition analysis service that aims to keep your business running smoothly by helping to identify potential oil or equipment failures before they become critical.

The Shell LubeAnalyst system is fast and easy to use.  Register and log your samples on the website, send your samples and receive your results and maintenance recommendations.  Reports allow you to track equipment performance over time and compare with other equipment.

Shell LubeVideoCheck engine condition assessment

Discover how to save time and money by assessing an engine’s condition without dismantling it. Shell LubeVideoCheck is a state-of-the-art fibre-optic tool for inspecting key engine components, including inaccessible areas such as the cylinder head, valves, cylinder walls and pistons. Access is gained by removing the injector or the glow/spark plug.
It is a cost-effective and efficient way of inspecting engine and equipment components, thereby minimising the time and costs associated with engine stripping and downtime. It can help you to assess an engine’s condition and spot potential failures before costly mechanical damage occurs.

Shell LubeClinic sample analysis

Assess the condition of your lubricants, vehicles and equipment in your own on-site mini-laboratory. Shell LubeClinic is a quick and efficient diagnostic tool. It helps you to take a proactive approach to maintenance by providing on-the-spot results, so that preventive maintenance, if required, can be done while the equipment is still in the workshop.

We can train your staff to inspect and analyse oil samples. Software is provided to help you make a diagnostic assessment of the oil and equipment condition. This service is of particular value for remote sites, where sending samples to an external laboratory for analysis is not quick enough.

Managing an effective lubrication programme and maintenance schedule can be a key factor in the smooth running of your operation. The following services are designed to help you with stock and equipment management, maintenance planning, product handling and waste disposal.

Shell LubePlanner lubricant management service

Lubrication planning and management are at the heart of effective maintenance plans. That is why we have developed the Shell LubePlanner service, which is designed to help you develop and run a comprehensive lubrication maintenance programme.

Central to the service is a software package that creates a custom-designed lubrication schedule, including product recommendations and maintenance schedules. This program can help you to maintain your equipment and is designed to help you get the right oil, in the right place, at the right time to reduce breakdown risk and costly reactive maintenance.

Shell LubeControl  stock management and storage advice

The Shell LubeControl service is designed to help you control lubricant stock and ensure you always have the right products available when you need them, thus avoiding stock-outs and associated costly downtime. Controlling stock in this way should enable you to improve and manage your supply chain efficiencies cost-effectively.

Shell LubeEquipment lubricant tanks and equipment, and facility design

A lubricant is the lifeblood of your machinery and vehicles. How you store, handle and dispense oils and greases are key to maintaining equipment quality and cleanliness. From bulk tanks to oil dispensing equipment, we can help you to source high-quality equipment through the Shell LubeEquipment service, including;

• Bulk tanks
• Waste oil disposal equipment
• Basic dispensing equipment such as jugs and grease guns
• Lubrication trolleys
• Oil spill kits
• Oil drain units
• Pumps
• Central lubrication systems.

Shell LubeExpress fast, safe and efficient oil changes

Discover a better way to conduct oil changes. Shell LubeExpress is a more efficient way of conducting oil changes than conventional oil-drain methods. It employs a closed-loop system that aims to make oil changes safer and cleaner, as individuals do not come into contact with the oil during any part of the process. Because it is designed to be faster, your operation is back up and running quickly to limit downtime.
