Maintaining equipment can be a timely, costly, and sometimes dangerous process. However, you can maintain equipment by properly utilizing automatic lubrication systems for preventative maintenance to reduce downtime and prevent premature component failures.
So why should you convert your manual lubrication practices to an automatic process?
- Optimized lubrication intervals
- Best avoid over and under-lubrication: The right amount of grease, at the right time, in the right location
- Reduced component failure
- Majority of bearing failures are lubrication related: Over/under lubricated, incorrect lubrication or lubricant contamination
- Increased productivity
- Lubricate while machine is operating, increase operator efficiency, maximize production, decrease maintenance time and re-purpose manual lubrication resources
- Reduced downtime
- Keep equipment running smoothly. Avoid costly unplanned repairs, minimize lost production time and reduce spare parts costs
- Safer work environment
- No climbing around equipment and avoid inaccessible areas (gases, exhaust etc.)
- Reduced lubricant waste
- No spills to keep environmentally friendly
