Permanent lubrication in the textile industry

The textile industry is one of the oldest and most important branches of manufacturing in the world. Although the clothing industry has shifted mainly to the Far Eastern market, the production of technical textiles is even growing in Europe. With automated and continuous lubrication with simalube, unexpected machine failures can be reduced and costs saved.

Lubrication points
A chain in textile production is automatically lubricated with a simalube lubricator and cleaned at the same time thanks to the brush.
The world's smallest lubricator, simalube 15ml, is designed for the tightest of spaces: here it automatically lubricates a textile machine where there was hardly any room for a lubrication cartridge.
In the tightest of spaces, two simalube 15ml lubricators have been installed for the automatic lubrication of a textile system.

Challenges

  • High demands on the cleanliness of the equipment and its surroundings
