Automatic Greasing Systems For Chain Lubrication
Friction creates heat, causing parts to expand. This leads to wear and the production of “wear particles” which turn into tiny cutting tools that cause chatter and vibration and generates heat. The result – mechanical failure, expensive equipment replacement, unscheduled downtime, lost production, safety hazards, environmental and cleanup problems and more.
An Automatic Chain Lubrication System is a cost effective way to limit wear and the costly problems it causes. In fact, proper lubrication can double or even triple the life of your chains. FLO carries a full range of chain lubrication systems, in drip, brush, spray and roller configurations, to extend chain life, cut downtime, save electricity and increase profits.
Automate dispensing process = More profit
Chain with proper lube runs smoother = Less power draw
Cleaner work areas with less housekeeping = Reduced health claims
Consistent shot sizes = Extends chain life and reduces unscheduled downtime
Timed lubricant delivery = Use less lubricant & reduce on-going costs
There are several types of automatic chain lubrication systems available: “Spray or Oil Mist” Systems, “Squirt” Systems, Automated Metering Valves & Pump Systems, and “Drip Feed, Oil Cup or Sight Feed” Lubricators. Each system will have advantages and disadvantages. It is up to the individual Plant and maintenance professionals to determine what works best for their specific application. Read the article below to learn about some of the key things to consider when choosing a lubrication system, then contact us to discuss your specific application with a lubrication expert.
