New SOMA services for lubricants and greases: degassing and contract filling for consistent dosing processes

Precise dosing technology doesn’t just start at the production line. It starts with the material. Even high-quality lubricants and greases can cause problems in day-to-day production if they contain air bubbles, have been decanted incorrectly, or are not available in the right container size for the specific process. 

The consequences range from inaccurate dosing quantities and unstable processes to fluctuations in the quality of the final component. With two new services, SOMA now supports companies precisely in this area: with the professional degassing of lubricants and greases, as well as contract filling into process-appropriate cartridges and containers.

Air in the lubricant? A risk to precise processes 

In automated dosing processes, repeatability is key. Even the slightest deviations in the application quantity can affect the function of a component. Air pockets in the lubricant are a frequently underestimated disruptive factor. This is particularly critical in highly automated production lines, for safety-critical components or when using very high-quality speciality lubricants.

SOMA lubricant degassing reliably removes disruptive air bubbles from greases and lubricants. The material is treated gently, ensuring that its chemical structure, viscosity and original properties are preserved.

Contract filling: From bulk containers to the right application unit 

Many technical lubricants are supplied in large standard containers, such as drums, buckets or industrial packaging. In production, however, smaller, precisely defined units are often required: cartridges, small containers or special packaging that fit directly onto the respective dosing system. Manual decanting is often not a reliable solution. It can cause air pockets, contamination or uneven fill levels.

This is precisely where SOMA’s contract lubricant filling service comes in: SOMA fills lubricants and greases cleanly and with full documentation into the desired type of container. Modern filling technology and pump systems with air monitoring are used for this purpose. The result is ready-to-use units that are precisely tailored to dosing systems, production processes and customer-specific requirements.

One service, two benefits: ensuring quality and streamlining processes 

Whether degassing, contract filling or a combination of both: both services contribute to the same goal. Lubricants should arrive where they are needed: clean, deaerated, process-reliable and in the correct quantity.

For companies, this means: 

• fewer manual steps
• lower risk of contamination
• better predictability in the production process
• greater dosing accuracy
• greater safety when handling demanding media
• direct processing in automated systems

The new services are particularly relevant for companies in the automotive, electronics manufacturing, automation technology, precision engineering and other industrial sectors where precise lubrication is a critical part of the production process.

SOMA Dosing Technology: More than just systems and components 

With these new services, SOMA is systematically expanding its range of services in the field of dosing technology. In addition to dosing systems, valves and system solutions, SOMA now also offers professional preparation and filling of lubricants and greases. This means customers receive not only the right technology, but also the right material service for stable, reproducible and cost-effective dosing processes.
