Conveyor technology as a subdiscipline of mechanical engineering comprises all equipment for transporting unit loads or bulk materials. However, continuous conveyors are subject to high loads in terms of utilization, location and operating times. And this is where the simalube lubricator comes in, because this environment is made for it. Continuous lubrication by the simalube relieves the strain on all conveyor components and brings many advantages: fewer operating failures, reduced risk of corrosion, fewer malfunctions, longer machine running times and many other benefits.
Challenges
Environment: high temperatures, high temperature fluctuations, strong sunlight, heavy pollution
Technical: high loads, strong vibrations, high operating temperatures
Installation: poor accessibility, little space, partially increased back pressure, risk of damage from bulk goods
Solution
Ideally, the dispensers are mounted directly on the lubrication points. In case of strong vibrations, the simalube must be mounted remotely. For long hose lines, the IMPULSE connect, with which a higher pressure can be achieved, is used.
Advantages
Advantages of the simalube lubrication system
Fresh lubricant is continuously fed in
Due to the continuous supply of lubricant in small quantities, less lubricant is required overall
Hard-to-reach lubrication points are reliably supplied with lubricant
Personnel are less often exposed to hazards such as great heights, climbing ladders, etc.
