Gypsum, Lime & Cement Plants

There are hundreds of rotating machine elements in gypsum, lime and cement plants. Equipment must function reliably under the most difficult operating conditions. Up to 80 % of machine failures are due to mechanical wear caused by dirt contamination. perma automatic lubrication systems prevent ingress of dirt particles and ensure optimum lubrication of the equipment.

Challenges

  • Dust, dirt, vibration
  • High energy costs
  • High maintenance costs, staff shortage, spread out equipment and lubrication points
  • Hard-to-reach lubrication points
  • High temperatures
  • Safety hazards
  • 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%.

 

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

  • When workers’ safety is at risk: Mounting in safe areas
  • For hard-to-access lubrication points
  • For lube-points with strong vibration / shocks (isolation of lubrication system)
