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

SKF Progressive Lubrication Systems provide continuous lubrication as long as the pump is in operation. Once the pump stops, the pistons of the progressive metering device will stop in their current positions. When the pump starts supplying lubricant again, the pistons will carry on where they left.

Pneumatic flow controls are available in composite, brass, nickel plated brass, and stainless steel and provide precise speed control of air flow entering or leaving a pneumatic actuator.
The PYPLOK® connecting system is a weld-less, thread-less way to join pipe. Using a portable, hand-held installation tool, couplings are cold worked and permanently compressed onto the piping, forming a permanent leak-tight seal.
Why Pyplok?
- Swage your fittings in seconds, dramatically reducing your downtime during repairs.
- Skip the expensive certified welders and fire watch personnel
- Forget about hot work permits – Pyplok® fittings are swaged cold
- Reduce your chemical waste disposal costs – Pyplok® doesn’t require acid pickling and neutralizing
- Avoid costly NDT (radiography, x-ray) verification by using a simple “Go-No-Go” inspection gauge for your Pyplok® fittings
- Remove the time-consuming purging of gases or fluids procedure from your process
- Set it and forget it – properly swaged and pressure tested Pyplok® fittings will go many years before needing to be replaced
