The quarry industry is very demanding for both workers and machines. Spread-out equipment, insufficient staff, tough ambient conditions and cost pressure continuously challenge quarry operators and employees. Automatic lubrication with perma lubrication systems increases workplace safety and equipment availability enormously.
Lubrication points
Raw material processing
Area: Crushing Transporting Application: Jaw, cone & roll crushers Conveyors Endproduct processing
Area: Screening Cleaning & sorting Dust removal Transporting Application: Grit & sand screens Conveyors Dedusting equipment, blowers / fans Conveyors Storage & packing
Area: Packing Filling Application: Conveyors Silo discharge Challenges
- Hard-to-reach and dangerous lubrication points
- Extreme operating conditions (sludge, dust, dirt, temperature changes and vibrations)
- High personnel costs from spread out and complex equipment
Advantages of automatic lubrication
Advantages of automatic lubrication
- Scheduled exchanges on running equipment reduce personnel- and material costs and increase economic efficiency.
- Continous relubrication at short intervals reduces wear and seals lubrication points against contamination.
- Remote installations of lubrication systems reduce the time that workers have to spend in dangerous areas.
Solutions
Direct mounting on lubrication point:
e.g. perma FLEX- Easy, quick mounting
- For lube-points with little vibration / shocks
- For easy-to-access and safe lubrication points
Remote mounting to lubrication point:
e.g. perma STAR VARIO- For lube-points with strong vibration / shocks (isolation of lubrication system)
- When workers’ safety is at risk: Mounting in safe areas
- For hard-to-access lubrication points
