Reduce Downtime with Autolube Systems: Longer component life and reduced maintenance pay for your investment

摘要

Longer component life is the main reason to invest in an automatic lubrication system. "The owner is assured that all components are being lubricated," says Drew Cherven, manager, national accounts, Lincoln Industrial. "Daily grease lubrication can, at times, be overlooked when relying on manual point-by-point lubrication with a grease gun or even a lube truck." With autolube systems, lubricant constantly flows to the bearings. "The machine is lubricated dynamically, while in motion, overcoming loads and allowing grease to protect all wear surfaces," says Cherven. "And that lubrication is applied in small, proportioned amounts, often every hour; replenishing used grease and purging contaminants." Another benefit is reduced maintenance - both scheduled and unscheduled. "You don't need to spend that time greasing," says Dan Mathews, worldwide product marketing manager - mobile, Graco Inc. "And if you can prevent failures in the first place, you save time and money on unplanned maintenance."
