simalube in use in the cement industry

The operating conditions for machinery and equipment in the construction materials extraction industry are considered harsh, as they are used outdoors and in extreme temperature fluctuations, mud, dirt as well as humidity and moisture. Without regular lubrication, the parts will wear out faster, causing the equipment to stop working properly and necessitating expensive repair work. The simalube automatic single-point lubricator is ideal for ensuring a regular supply of lubricant to the lubrication points, even in places that are difficult to access as well as for use outdoors.

Lubrication points

The simalube lubricator 125ml automatically and constantly lubricates the pedestal bearing of a conveyor belt drive.

Two simalube 125ml lubricators automatically and constantly lubricate the pedestal bearings of the conveyor belt drum for up to one year.

The plummer blocks of a drive shaft in the cement plant are automatically lubricated for up to one year with the simalube lubricator.

Challenges

Rough use
Temperature fluctuations, risk of damage to the installations
High load on the systems
High back pressure

Solution

simalube 125 ml and 250 ml
Accessories for mounting and protecting the lubricant dispensers
IMPULSE connect: Digital monitoring and configuration of the lubrication points via Bluetooth®. The lubrication points can be monitored from a distance of 20 m. The device can be used to increase the pressure up to 10 bar

Advantages of the simalube lubrication system

Reliability: Once installed, the lubrication points are reliably lubricated and never forgotten
The hermetically sealed system prevents contamination by dust and debris (IP68)
Reduction of service requirements and maintenance costs: Manual lubrication is no longer necessary meaning fewer disruptions and a huge saving of time
Longer service life of machines thanks to continuous and accurate lubrication
Flexibility: The running time is adjustable from 1–12 months
No need to shut down the machines during maintenance
The products are approved in all ATEX areas (in explosive areas)

Application images

The pedestal bearings of a conveyor belt in a cement plant are constantly and automatically lubricated with simalube lubricators 60ml.

Two pillow block bearings on a drive shaft in a cement plant are automatically and continuously lubricated with two simalube lubricators.

The conveyor belt drum is constantly supplied with lubricant by a remote simalube lubricator, 365 days a year, around the clock.

The world's smallest lubricator, simalube 15ml, lubricates a conveyor belt drum by being mounted directly on the drum and thus rotating with it during operation.
