simalube automatic lubrication system in the logistics industry: maximum efficiency and reliability

In the fast-moving and demanding world of logistics, efficiency and reliability are the keys to success. High-bay warehouses, conveyor systems, sorting systems and transport vehicles are at the heart of every logistics operation. These ultra-modern systems are in operation around the clock and must be able to withstand the highest loads at all times. One challenge here is the constant and precise lubrication of the numerous lubrication points - a task that is solved reliably and efficiently with the simalube automatic lubricator from simatec.

Lubrication points

Challenges

No contamination of systems and products due to uncontrolled lubricant leakage from excess grease/oil
No time for maintenance interventions, as the logistics run around the clock
100% availability of the systems must be guaranteed
Limited space
Small amounts of lubrication / time
The use of approved speciality lubricants requires a product that can be used flexibly
Minimisation of wear and tear

Solution

simalube grease and oil dispenser to refill yourself
Brush for lubricating chains and guides
Brush with side connection, for applications in confined spaces
simalube lubricant dispenser in a size and running time precisely matched to consumption
The smallest lubricator, simalube 15 ml, is used where space is limited
Matching accessories from the simatec product range
IMPULSE connect: Digital monitoring and configuration of the lubrication points via Bluetooth®. The lubrication points can be monitored digitally. The device can be used to increase the pressure up to 10 bar.

Advantages of simalube lubrication systems

Reliability: Once installed, the lubrication points are reliably supplied with lubricant and are no longer forgotten
Reduction in service and maintenance costs: no need for manual lubrication, which saves an enormous amount of time
Longer system service life thanks to continuous and precise lubrication
No need to switch off the systems during maintenance
Available in five sizes: 15, 30, 60, 125 and 250ml, plus multipoint 5x8ml
Flexibility: The running times of the dispenser are infinitely adjustable from 1–12 months
The progress of the dispensing process can be monitored at any time thanks to the transparent housing (quantity control)
Installation is possible in the tightest of spaces
The hermetically sealed system prevents the ingress of dirt (IP68)
Simple, ecological disposal (100% recyclable)
