Case Study No. 030119 - Lubricating Conveyor Bearings Application: Elevators/Lifts/Conveyors Industry: Steel, Aluminum, Glass & Plastic Background: This steel mill operating 24/7 was manually lubricating the conveyor bearings. Issue: The daily manual lubrication procedure on the conveyor bearings were time consuming and often forgotten due to the inaccessibility and harsh environment.
Solution: The 350psi output pressure of the MEMOLUB® HPS 480 allowed the lubricators to be mounted in a safe location outside the guarding with lube lines running to the bearings.
Results: The MEMOLUB® provided continuous supply of lubricant to each bearing which reduced production downtime, bearing failures man hours.
Worth Mentioning: They used braided rubber hose to prevent damage to the lube lines in the harsh environment. |
