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
