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

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)
