Automatic lubrication systems in the recycling industry

In recycling factories where lots of dust and dirt is present, regular lubrication is important. Badly lubricated components can be quickly damaged and must then be replaced. This leads to interruptions in production and higher costs.

Challenges

No contamination of the manufactured products due to uncontrolled lubricant leakage during production
High humidity, partly high ambient temperatures

Solution

simalube mostly screwed in directly at the lubrication point.
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.

Areas of application and advantages

Advantages of the simalube lubrication system

Reduction of service requirements and maintenance costs: because manual lubrication is no longer necessary, less labour is required and time savings are great
Shutting down the machines for maintenance is no longer necessary
Longer service life of machines thanks to continuous and precise lubrication
Flexibility: The running time is adjustable from 1–12 months
Only one type of lubricator is needed per application. This reduces storage costs
The hermetically sealed system prevents contamination by dust and debris (IP68)
