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.
| Challenges | Solution |
|---|---|
| Rough use often outdoors in adverse weather conditions | Simalube 125 ml and 250 ml |
| High stress due to vibrations and impacts | Accessories for mounting and protecting the lubricant dispensers |
| Risk of damage from bulk material | 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. |
| Lubrication points are not easy to reach, often only at airy heights |
Areas of application and advantages
| Simalube applications in the production of construction material and processing | Advantages of the simalube lubrication system |
|---|---|
| Conveyors | Reliability: Once installed, the lubrication points are reliably lubricated and never forgotten |
| Transport systems | The hermetically sealed system prevents contamination by dust and debris (IP68) |
| Belt tensioners | Reduction of service requirements and maintenance costs: Manual lubrication is no longer necessary meaning fewer disruptions and a huge saving of time |
| Mixing beds | Longer service life of machines thanks to continuous and accurate lubrication |
| Ventilation systems/Fans | Flexibility: The running time is adjustable from 1–12 months |
| Rotary kilns | No need to shut down the machines during maintenance |
| Gears/engines | The products are approved in all ATEX areas (in explosive areas) |
| Mills | |
| Shifters | |
| Silos & silo filling | |
| Pumps | |
| Crushers |
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.
