In recycling factories where lots of dust and dirt is present, regular lubrication is important. Badly lubricated components can be quickly damaged and must then be replaced. This leads to interruptions in production and higher costs.
| Challenges | Solution |
|---|---|
| No contamination of the manufactured products due to uncontrolled lubricant leakage during production | Simalube mostly screwed in directly at the lubrication point. |
| High humidity, partly high ambient temperatures | 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. |
Areas of application and advantages
| Areas of application for Simalube in recycling plants | Advantages of the Simalube lubrication system |
|---|---|
| Conveyor belts | Reduction of service requirements and maintenance costs: because manual lubrication is no longer necessary, less labour is required and time savings are great |
| Presses | Shutting down the machines for maintenance is no longer necessary |
| Sorters | Longer service life of machines thanks to continuous and precise lubrication |
| Washing machines | Flexibility: The running time is adjustable from 1–12 months |
| Crushers | Only one type of lubricator is needed per application. This reduces storage costs |
| Mills | The hermetically sealed system prevents contamination by dust and debris (IP68) |
| Ventilation fans | |
| Winnowing machines | |
| Shredders |
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.
