Parker’s Hose Whip Restraint System is designed to prevent whipping of a pressurized hose in the event of the hose separating from its fitting. This system provides an additional level of safety and helps prevent damage to nearby equipment or injury to operators near the failed hose by limiting the whip or travel of the pressurized hose after it breaks free from its fitting.

Challenges of Pump Lubrication:
Pumps are often operated under extreme conditions, subjecting individual components to special wear. Many lubrication points can only be accessed using extreme protection measures (safety gloves and protective masks). As a result, they are not lubricated as often as required or are completely neglected.

Solution:
Mount a perma lubrication system at the lubrication point. Depending on the conditions prevailing at the lubrication point, the perma lubrication system can either be mounted directly or remotely.

Advantages of Automatic Lubrication:
 – Workplace Safety
– Lower Environmental Impact
– Fewer Maintenance Runs
