simalube use in gravel plants

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. A continuous lubrication point supply is therefore indispensable. Without regular maintenance, parts will wear out or corrode, causing significant malfunctions and resulting in enormous repair and maintenance work. The use of simalube lubricant dispensers extends the service life of bearings through continuous lubricant delivery and thus significantly reduces maintenance costs in mines, quarries, concrete and cement plants.

Lubrication points

Several simalube lubricators continuously lubricate a jaw crusher.

A belt drive is lubricated by the simalube lubrication system.

The automatic lubricators grease the motors of a floating spread in a mine.

Challenges

Rough use often outdoors in adverse weather conditions
High stress due to vibrations and impacts
Risk of damage from bulk material
Lubrication points are not easy to reach, often only at airy heights

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 are continuously and automatically lubricated with simalube.

The protective covers protect the simalube lubricant dispensers against external influences.

The simalube automatic lubricant cartridges are screwed directly onto the pedestal bearing on the drive of a conveyor belt.

The main drive shaft of a filter pump is permanently lubricated automatically.
