Types of companies that can benefit from centralised lubrication and automatic greasing systems

In every sector and field of application, clients ask us to eliminate the risk of downtime, reduce the wear of components, minimise labour costs associated with maintenance, prevent and eliminate risks linked to non-automatic lubrication systems, reduce wastage due to approximate dosing. Our centralised lubrication systems and automatic greasing systems are designed to improve productivity and reduce costs.

Paper mills

Most common lubrication solutions: Centralised oil lubrication systems. The bearings are cooled in an oil bath.

 

Ports and Shipyards

Most common lubrication solutions: Centralised grease lubrication systems for cranes. Grease is the best solution for joints, pulleys, articulations, tie-beams and bearings.

Cement plants

Most common lubrication solutions: Centralised grease lubrication systems. Automatic and centralised lubrication systems protect against the risk of lubricant contamination, typical of dusty environments.

 

Mechanics

Most common lubrication solutions: Centralised air-oil lubrication systems. Fields of work characterised by the lubrication of spindles and high-level friction require perfect lubrication solutions without generating potentially toxic environments. 

Purification plants

Most common lubrication solutions: Centralised grease lubrication systems. Chains and tank scrapers are the main parts targeted by automatic greasing systems and centralised lubrication systems.

Foundries

Most common lubrication solutions: Automatic and centralised grease lubrication systems. Chains and carts, rails, servomechanisms need to be properly lubricated at all times.

Petrochemical Industry and Tanneries

Most common lubrication solutions: Centralised grease lubrication systems. Grease is no doubt the best form of lubrication. In the petrochemical sector, grease is even used as a seal to protect the gaskets.

Waste disposal

Most common lubrication solutions: Automatic and centralised grease lubrication systems. These are greasing and lubrication systems for compactors and volume reduction press systems.

Energy

Most common lubrication solutions: Centralised lubrication systems and automatic greasing systems. Turbines and all applications of movement, bearings, even in the latest photovoltaic and wind power systems where there are axes and rotations.

Food

Most common lubrication solutions: Automatic centralised lubrication systems and innovative air-oil systems. Conveyor belts, buckets, packaging machines, chains. Plants that produce and package food and pet-food, as well as manufacturers of the machinery, need to ensure continuous production and minimise production times.

Construction of lifts and augers

Most common lubrication solutions: Centralised grease lubrication systems. Grease is no doubt the most fitting solution for mechanical components in this type of equipment.

Construction of brick and marble working machinery

Most common lubrication solutions: Automatic and centralised grease lubrication systems. These are lubrication and greasing systems for all material moving equipment, packaging and storage equipment; water is frequently used in the marble working sector (sawing, cutting, milling, drilling, etc.), thus making centralised grease lubrication systems and automatic greasing systems ideal in this case also.

IN THE ABSENCE OF CENTRALISED LUBRICATION SYSTEMS, THE MANUAL DISTRIBUTION OF GREASE GENERATES IMBALANCES AND WASTE.

When greasing is carried out by maintenance staff, the quantity of grease exceeds real needs and causes parts to overheat. At the same time, before lubrication can be repeated, there is a lapse of time during which the parts operate with scarce lubrication.

In centralised lubrication systems and automatic greasing systems on the other hand, the distribution of grease is optimised and dosed in the correct quantities. This eliminates the need for manual intervention which alternates between periods of over-dosage (when the grease is inserted) and under-dosage (the second time phase, when the grease is progressively consumed until falling below the minimum limit).

Company maintenance costs

Reliable studies have shown that lubrication costs have a minimal impact on overall maintenance costs. Many companies therefore decide not to invest in centralised lubrication systems or automatic greasing systems. However, this perspective fails to consider that the high cost of maintenance for other components is due to inefficient lubrication systems, which is not necessarily the result of negligence but rather has more to do with the type of approach. An automatic lubrication system certainly involves an initial investment, however its value can be recovered in just a short time by way of lower maintenance costs, wastage and less premature component wear.

An automatic centralised lubrication system reduces the risk of premature bearing failure

84% of breakages and bearing failure are due to scarce lubrication, contaminated grease, heat fatigue. Centralised lubrication and automatic greasing systems allow a drastic reduction in these types of problems.
