Simalube in use in the plastics industry

Back to overview

The plastic producing industry is a branch of the chemical industry and can be divided into plastic production, plastic processing and plastic machine construction. The simalube lubrication system is also used in a wide variety of production processes. With simalube, the machines and systems can be lubricated automatically over a period of 1-12 months. The continuous lubrication reduces expensive machine failures.

Challenges Solution
High demands on the cleanliness of the systems and their surroundings Due to the low amount of lubrication, the small Simalube 15 - 60 ml are often used
No time for maintenance interventions since production is often around the clock

Areas of application and advantages

Typical installations Typical applications Further benefits
Robots Bearings Reliable lubrication with low maintenance requirements
Injection molding machine Chains Minimal wear of components and thus reduction of maintenance costs
Granulator systems Guides
Extrusion systems Gears
Welding machines Guide rails

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.
