Precision Lubrication with LUBExpert
Implementation of an ultrasonic lubrication program in a paper mill to acoustically grease bearings right.
The LUBExpert system has allowed the maintenance team to shift away from unreliable calendar-based lubrication to on-condition lubrication with instant feedback to the technician as each bearing is greased.
Dryer section felt rolls – previously greased on a time-based schedule delivering 40 grams of grease every 4 weeks before the ultrasound program was implemented.
Ultrasonic greasing program started; first dryer felt roll greased from an RMS of 14.1 dBμV down to 12.2 dBμV after delivering only 20 grams of grease.
One month later, ultrasound shows the RMS has increased to 17.2 dBμV, again the bearing is greased, this time delivering 25 grams total quantity to reduce to 11.7 dBμV.
