Lubricator simalube® 15 ml in the building material industry

A large manufacturer of clay materials, such as bricks, uses more than 1,000 simalube lubrications in its factory, mainly on the packaging line.

The perfect solution

At first, the servomotors on the presses could not be serviced by an automatic lubricator because of the lack of space and small lubrication need. This changed with the introduction of the simalube 15 ml. The customer has now installed 36 additional 15 ml lubricators. These lubricators are filled with machine oil (SL16), and the dispensing time is set to 2 months.

This yields a requirement of over 200 simalube 15 ml lubricators per year.

The customer benefits

The clay product manufacturer''s entire production facilities are now continuously lubricated with little time or monetary costs since expensive manual lubrication is no longer necessary. Breakdowns due to under-lubrication belong to the past. The cost savings received due to the reduction of repairs, production stops, or even replacement of defective servomotors are sizable. According to those responsible for the machines, the investment in the small and reliable simalube 15 ml lubricators was completely worth it.

Applications for the simalube 15 ml.

The small 15 ml lubricator has many versatile applications:

■ Electric motors in ventilators

■ Linear bearings on transport machines

■ Spindles in 3D printers

■ Pedestal bearings on conveyors

■ Guides on presses or hoists

Benefits of simalube in factories

■ Reduction of service and maintenance costs since manual lubrication is no longer necessary

■ Shutting down the machines to lubricate is no longer necessary

■ Once installed, the lubricator reliably services the lubrication point, which is no longer forgotten

■ The hermetically sealed system prevents contamination by dirt
