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.

Thanks to the automatic simalube lubricator, no dirt gets into the lubrication point and, in addition, the rolling bearing is constantly supplied with the necessary lubricant for up to one year.

The pillow block bearing of a conveyor belt in a gravel plant is automatically and continuously lubricated for up to one year with the simalube lubricator 125ml.

The chain of an escalator is automatically lubricated and cleaned at the same time with the simalube lubricator 125ml.

The belt drive of a conveyor belt in a quarry is automatically lubricated with the simalube 125ml lubricator.
