Romax Doubles Bearing Grease Flushing Business

Romax has doubled the size of its main bearing grease flushing business across its customer portfolio over the past 12 months.

The company use a unique process and specially developed patent-pending apparatus for grease flushing, designed to significantly increase a turbine’s life, reducing the cost of operation & maintenance, and extending costly service intervals.

Romax has performed grease-flushing services globally across five countries, expanding the size of the team involved in this process, with bespoke flushing equipment developed for specific turbines.

Ashley Crowther, InSight Global VP at Romax, said: “Bearing grease flushing is something that is proving highly effective in addressing this. It’s a challenging task to conduct and do thoroughly, but with our process you can remove and replace all the grease, reducing damage to the turbine, all while increasing life and reducing cost. This has proven highly beneficial to wind farm owners.”

As part of its commitment to driving wind efficiency, Romax was awarded a grant of £129,000 as part of the GROW: Offshore Wind programme, supported by the UK government’s Regional Growth Fund (RGF). The aim of this is to develop, create, and safeguard jobs within the wind farm industry, with Romax focusing on commercialising technology for bearing grease flushing.
