Flexible, needs-oriented energy supply poses new challenges to power plant operators, especially for maintenance departments.
Frequent load changes and longer downtimes require reliable lubrication of equipment and machine elements.

Increased risk of workplace accidents at hard-to-reach lubrication points and due to high temperatures
Solutions
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
Reduces wear
Continuous relubrication at short intervals reduces wear and seals lubrication points even during longer shutdowns
