Product Name:
MEMOLUB® ONE Single Point Lubricator
Application:
Elevators/Lifts/Conveyors
Background:
Equipment was previously being manually lubricated with a grease gun. Depending on what maintenance tech performed the task, over- and under-lubrication were common-place, if done at all. Over-lubrication was especially a problem because often bearings were pushed out of the linear slides, caus-ing premature failure. The customer would spend thousands annually in repair costs as a result.
Solution:
We installed 2 MEMOLUB® ONE single-point lubricators per palletiser to supply constant lubrication to the linear slide bearings. Pro-gramming the lubricators to dispense per the manufacturer’s specs removed human inconsistency from the maintenance equa-tion thereby extending bearing life. An add-ed bonus was the ability to lubricate while the equipment is still in operation.
Results:
Reduced downtime and extended bearing life.
