perma Lubrication Systems for
Conveyors

Belt conveyors are one of the most widely used pieces of equipment in  Mining
all kinds of industries. For smooth process flows it is essential that they  Power plants
operate efficiently with maximum availability.  Food industry
To prevent equipment failures, conveyors need optimal lubrication  Recycling industry
despite extreme operating conditions like dirt, dust and strong vibration.  Quarrying industry
Unscheduled downtimes, costly repairs and emergency service calls  Cement plants
make up a significant share of the operating costs.

Lubrication points

Pillow block housings and spherical roller bearings are used for drive /
Drive pulley
guide pulley support.
Guide pulley
Bearings and bearing housing seals must be permanently supplied
with lubricant.

Challenges

Large conveyor systems often extend over several levels and are difficult to
reach. Optimal lubrication should take place while the system is running.

Lubrication points are often neglected because they are located up high, around
the back, or in places with little room to maneuver. Maintenance work in such
areas during operation is extremely dangerous and jeopardizes workplace safety.

Insufficient lubrication causes premature equipment damage creating
unscheduled and costly downtimes.

 Dirt and water must be kept from entering lubrication points
 Lubrication points must receive the right lubricant, in small amounts,
at regular intervals
 No unnecessary system downtimes due to re-lubrication
 Ensure workplace safety
