Looking for Automatic Lubrication Solutions?
Whether you are in need of single-line automatic lubrication systems, motor-driven automatic grease lubricators, or a custom-made product, you will be pleased to discover that at Lubricants SW, we have an automatic lubrication solution tailored to your requirements. However, for all you know, we might be talking nonsense! Let’s delve into the world of automatic lubrication systems (ALS) and explore how they can benefit your business.
How Do They Work?
To put it simply, automatic lubrication systems work by dispensing small amounts of lubricant from a reservoir at regular intervals. This helps to minimise ongoing maintenance costs and unnecessary downtime, saving you valuable time, money, and effort. These systems can be powered either electrically, hydraulically, or pneumatically and controlled by a brake counter or timer.
What Are the Benefits of Automatic Lubrication Systems?
Investing in automatic lubrication systems can benefit manufacturing businesses of any size. We’re sure it’ll come as no surprise to you that with all types of machinery, if they have moving parts, they’ll often encounter failures. This is primarily due to incorrect lubrication, leading to potential downtime and increased expenses. By implementing automatic lubrication equipment, you can significantly reduce these issues, saving you from costly repairs and ensuring uninterrupted manufacturing processes.
While the initial setup cost may be higher compared to manual approaches, the long-term cost-effectiveness is undeniable. To name a few advantages, you’ll benefit from reduced machinery downtime, savings on lubrication costs (believe it or not!), a safer environment for your employees, and decreased expenses on spare parts and labour, including maintenance.
Which System Should You Choose?
If you’ve decided to take the leap and invest in an automatic lubrication solution, we have a wide range of high-pressure or progressive automatic lubrication systems and single-point lubricators, as well as a wide range of Pulsarlube Lubricators to suit your needs. Let’s take a look at a few of our options to provide you with a clear understanding of our available products:
Automatic Progressive Systems
The Beka-Max Automatic Progressive Centralised Lubrication System ensures that lubricant is delivered to every point in your system. It can service anywhere from 1 to over 500 points from a single unit. The system is easy to monitor during operation and refill using a special gun, and it also features a low-level alarm. With the Di-Sys program, you can monitor and adjust the system via a laptop. This system is:
- Suitable for use on industrial equipment worldwide
- Waterproof and durable enough to be used in plant and quarry equipment
Automatic High-Pressure Jet Lubrication
Using the Castrol IM200 Graphite Dry Lube, the LUBECON Automatic High Pressure Jet Lubrication system features high-pressure jets that accurately deliver fine lubricant to where it’s needed. This system is ideally suited for:
- Dusty environments, such as chains on bucket elevators transferring fine powders
- Kilns & dryers, sugar & flour mills, and cement & plasterboard plants
- Accurately dry lubricating overhead chain conveyors in vehicle assembly plants
Single-Point Automatic Lubricators
Our Single Point Automatic Lubricators include the Simalube Automatic Lubricator, Perma Automatic Lubricator and Electro-Luber Automatic Lubricator. These will ensure that your grease or oil usage applications are provided with optimal lubrication.
Simalube
Powered by a dependable gas-generating dry cell, the Simalube automatically operates 24/7 and can be adjusted to suit your needs for 1 to 12 months. Available in four different sizes, we can fill it with the grease or oil of your choice to suit your lubrication needs.
Perma
Available in three sizes and pre-filled with a range of lubricants, the motor-driven Perma Star Vario features an exchange set, including a filled star cartridge unit and battery pack, as well as an electromechanical drive unit for reliable and efficient lubrication.
Electro-Luber
The Electro-Luber comes in four sizes and is a self-contained, nitrogen gas-operated automatic grease dispenser. Suitable for use both indoors and outdoors, it can be filled with the lubricant of your choice. With a temperature range from -40°C up to +55°C, it is ATEX Certified Intrinsically Safe for use in hazardous areas.
Pulsarlube Lubricators
The Pulsarlube Lubricators are available in a variety of designs to meet your business’s application requirements, including disposable electrochemical, reusable electromechanical and refillable spring-type lubricators.
Disposable Electrochemical Lubricators
Designed for single-use applications, these lubricators use electrochemical reactions to release lubricant. They are often used in industries where contamination is a major concern.
Reusable Electromechanical Lubricators
Reusable after cleaning and refilling, these lubricators use electric signals to control the flow of the lubricant. They are suitable for applications where precise control over lubrication is needed.
Refillable Spring-Type Lubricators
Ideal for applications requiring a steady and predictable flow of lubricant, these lubricators utilise a spring to deliver a constant flow of lubricant and can be refilled with your desired lubricant.
