Lubricator
simalube 125 ml with special food grade grease from our distribution partner Lubrication Equipment
Application
Bearings on the pump of the transport truck
Issue
Drivers transporting hydrogen peroxide had problems with this extremely aggressive product because it constantly damaged the bearings. Therefore, the drivers were required to manually lubricate the pump every three weeks. However, the bearings were overlubricated most of the times.
Solution
Using simalube 125ml and the specially formulated, high quality LE foodgrade grease, the lubrication period has been extended to 3 months:
• Time saving for the drivers who no longer have to re-lubricate
• Constant lubrication of the pump is provided where it was previously over-greased
Conclusion
Cost savings thanks to simalube:
• Longer service life of bearings results in lower repair costs
• Less lubricant consumption
• Time saving for the driver
