Automatic lubrication in industrial machinery
Third Quarter 2024
Shaft power components
The SAL Elite single point lubricator is a reliable and efficient solution for automatic lubrication in industrial machinery. It is distributed by ISO-Reliability Partners, a leading provider of reliability and lubrication systems. It ensures consistent and precise lubrication of critical machine components. Other benefits include a reduction in friction, wear and premature component failure by delivering the right quantity of lubricant at regular intervals.
The German manufactured, single-point lubricator is a robust, compact unit consisting of an electromechanical drive with replaceable lube cup, with grease capacity options of 60 g, 120 g and 250 g. The drive unit is versatile, and can be direct or remote mounted up to 2 metres in the case of high vibration or falling objects. It is installed directly at the lubrication point on the machinery, such as a bearing, chain or gear. The system uses an electromechanical drive to release lubricant gradually, preset according to the application requirements. Lubricant flows through a feed line or tube to reach the lubrication point. The system is simple to install and requires minimal maintenance.
It is also compatible with different types of lubricants from greases to oils. Common applications include manufacturing, mining, automotive, and food processing. The system is ideal for critical components such as conveyor systems, pumps, electric motors, fans, and hard-to-reach or rotating machinery.
In conclusion, the SAL Elite system contributes to overall equipment reliability and operational efficiency by automating a critical aspect of maintenance.
