WHY USE AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION SYSTEMS?

Do you need to keep maintenance costs as low as possible while keeping production at a maximum?

Do you have critical production machines working long hours and cannot afford any unplanned downtime?

Do you have limited labour resources or have a production environment where access for maintenance is difficult or hazardous?

Key Benefits of Automatic Lubrication Systems

• Increased production because machines run longer when lubrication can be done without switching off

• Unplanned breakdowns are reduced by making sure all bearings are always greased

• Safety is improved when lubrication points are automated and moved away from potentially hazardous areas

• Spare parts consumption and maintenance is reduced when critical components are always optimally lubricated

• Housekeeping and plant safety is improved

• Maintenance staff are freed to perform other critical tasks

Lubrication Systems

Studies have shown that over 50% of bearing failures are lubrication related. By ensuring that machine components are always optimally lubricated, wear is dramatically reduced. At the same time, by replenishing lubricant multiple times per day, every day, a collar of lubricant is maintained to form a barrier against the entry of damaging foreign materials such as water and solid particles (sand, dust, grit).
