Asphalt Mixing Plants
Complex procedures are required to process mineral rock, rock dust, binder (bitumen) and additives into an asphalt mixture. There are numerous safety aspects to observe and great challenges for man and machine in the production process. Fluctuating temperatures and dirt and dust need to be handled. Continuous lubrication of machine elements is a key factor in preventing machine breakdowns and ensuring high productivity for the whole system.

Challenges
- Advantages of Automatic Lubrication
- Continuous relubrication at short intervals reduces wear and seals lubrication points to prevent contamination from dust and dirt.
- Scheduled exchanges of lubrication systems while machines are running reduces staff and material costs and increases economic efficiency.
- Automatic lubrication away from dangerous areas increases workplace safety.
- Individual lubrication reduces energy costs by up to 10%.
