Automatic lubrication in the wood industry
simalube lubricates the machines in the wood industry
simalube is extremely reliable and flexible and enables a high level of machine output: In wood processing companies, there is often a huge amount of dirt and dust that cause a permanent build-up of dirt on the ball bearing. Early bearing damage can occur that leads to a considerably lower machine output. For this reason, it is particularly important to lubricate the bearings in a reliable, precise manner. The simalube automatic lubricator ensures that the exact amount of lubricant – grease or oil – is applied to the lubrication point, thus avoiding excess or deficient lubrication. Thanks to the hermetically sealed system of the simalube lubricator, dirt is also prevented from penetrating into the roller bearings, thus avoiding bearing damage at an early stage. The negligible downtimes and maintenance required also allows a huge saving of costs.
«simalube lubricates bearings continuously, lengthens the service life of machinery and reduces maintenance costs in every wood processing company».
Reduced risks of accidents in the workplace thanks to simalube:
Due to the compact dimensions of the simalube lubricator, it can be installed in even the narrowest of spaces, making it possible to cater for even the most inaccessible lubrication points. This minimises the time needed for workers to linger in the danger zones and increases safety in the workplace. The elimination of manual lubrication also leads to a considerable saving of time, as all lubrication points are now lubricated automatically over a period of 1 to 12 months.
«Considerable saving of time and improved safety in the workplace thanks to automatic lubrication».
simalube applications in the wood processing industry:

Advantages of the simalube lubrication system:
- Tried and tested lubrication system in the wood processing industry
- Reliability: Once installed, the lubrication points are reliably lubricated and never forgotten
- The hermetically sealed system prevents contamination by dust and debris (IP68)
- Reduction of service requirements and maintenance costs: Manual lubrication is no longer necessary meaning fewer disruptions and a huge saving of time
- Longer service life of machines thanks to continuous and accurate lubrication - Flexibility: The running time is adjustable from 1–12 months
- No need to shut down the machines during maintenance
- Available in five sizes: 15, 30, 60, 125 and 250 ml, plus multipoint
- Thanks to the transparent housing, the progress of the lubrication process can be monitored at all times (fill level control)
- Installation is possible even in very narrow spaces
- Simple, environmentally-friendly disposal (100% recyclable)
