Escalators that are in constant use often start to squeak. To avoid this, optimal lubrication of the system is required. simalube lubricates drive and step chains as well as guides for escalators automatically, continuously and economically. The simple installation, the continuously adjustable running time and the precise lubrication make simalube an indispensable system for escalators and moving walkways.
| Challenges | Solution |
|---|---|
| No pollution of the shaft walls or the covers made of glass | Simalube lubricant dispenser with chain or slideway oil |
| Longest possible maintenance intervals and thus less downtime of the escalators | Special brushes and special accessories for mounting |
| Minimization of wear | Manufacturer-specific kits for retrofitting existing systems |
Areas of application and advantages
The easy-to-use Simalube lubrication systems guarantee optimal care of elevators and escalators. These special lubrication systems are exceptionally reliable and efficient. Assembly sets are available for retrofitting elevators and escalators made by the best-known manufacturers.
| Simalube area of application for escalators | Specific benefits for escalators | Further benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Drive chains | Reliable lubrication of escalator guide rollers, drive chains and step chains | Reduction of service requirements and maintenance costs |
| Escalator chains | Silent operation without unpleasant squeaking noises | No more oil spillage or splashes |
| Escalator step guides | Optimally lubricated guides prevent any build-up of electrostatic charge or sparking | Simple to retrofit existing installations |
| Improved occupational safety (no risk of slipping on excess oil) | ||
| Constant application of lubricant | ||
| Stepless setting of lubricant dispensing time from one month to one year | ||
| Refillable oil lubricator |
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.
