Conveyors are automatically and constantly lubricated

Conveyor technology as a subdiscipline of mechanical engineering comprises all equipment for transporting unit loads or bulk materials. However, continuous conveyors are subject to high loads in terms of utilization, location and operating times. And this is where the simalube lubricator comes in, because this environment is made for it. Continuous lubrication by the simalube relieves the strain on all conveyor components and brings many advantages: fewer operating failures, reduced risk of corrosion, fewer malfunctions, longer machine running times and many other benefits.

Lubrication points
A beverage filling line is fully equipped with simalube lubricators for automatic lubrication.
The simalube lubricator automatically and continuously lubricates a flange bearing of a filling line for up to one year.
Thanks to the simalube automatic lubricator, the drive chain is constantly lubricated and cleaned by the brushes installed on the simalube.

Challenges

  • Environment: high temperatures, high temperature fluctuations, strong sunlight, heavy pollution
  • Technical: high loads, strong vibrations, high operating temperatures
  • Installation: poor accessibility, little space, partially increased back pressure, risk of damage from bulk goods

Solution

  • Ideally, the dispensers are mounted directly on the lubrication points. In case of strong vibrations, the simalube must be mounted remotely. For long hose lines, the IMPULSE connect, with which a higher pressure can be achieved, is used.

Advantages

Advantages of the simalube lubrication system
 

  • Fresh lubricant is continuously fed in
  • Due to the continuous supply of lubricant in small quantities, less lubricant is required overall
  • Hard-to-reach lubrication points are reliably supplied with lubricant
  • Personnel are less often exposed to hazards such as great heights, climbing ladders, etc.
