Due to digitalization, the print and graphics sectors are constantly striving to implement cost optimization measures. Reducing unnecessary expenses is therefore more important than ever before. Automatic lubrication with simalube can save costs by freeing up staff time for their core business. The continuous supply of lubricant to the machines reduces unplanned machine downtime, simplifies maintenance work and extends the service life of the equipment.
| Challenges | Solution |
|---|---|
| No contamination of manufactured products due to unintentional leakage of lubricants during production. | In the printing industry, the smaller sizes of the Simalube lubricators with 15 ml or 30 ml are often used. |
Areas of application and advantages
| Typical installations | Typical applications | Further benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Processing machines | Bearings | Increased operational safety |
| Printing machines | Chains | Reduced downtime |
| Folding/Finishing machines | Guides | Constant supply of hard to reach lubrication points |
| Gears | Less time spent on maintenance | |
| Reduction of wear and longer life of the components |
Sold millions of times and suitable for any single point lubrication task with grease or oil.
The automatic lubricator simalube provides all possible kinds of lubrication points with lubricant. 24 hours, day in, day out.
Roller bearings which are not lubricated sufficiently or wrongly drop out long before they have reached their expected product life. Simalube lubricators guarantee a consistent supply of lubricant in the pre-adjusted proportioning. Shutdown times are decreased and costs in comparison to time-consuming lubrication by hand are clearly reduced
Within seconds simalube is fixed to the lubricating point. On commissioning, a gas production cell is activated which presses the lubricant on the lubrication point through the release of hydrogen gas. The lubrication amount can be steplessly adjusted by means of an Allen key.
Filled with oil, Simalube is applied for the automatic lubrication of chains, open gears or guide rails for example.
