Quarrying Industry

The quarry industry is very demanding for both workers and machines. Spread-out equipment, insufficient staff, tough ambient conditions and cost pressure continuously challenge quarry operators and employees. Automatic lubrication with perma lubrication systems increases workplace safety and equipment availability enormously.

Challenges

  • Hard-to-reach and dangerous lubrication points
  • Extreme operating conditions (sludge, dust, dirt, temperature changes and vibrations)
  • High personnel costs from spread out and complex equipment 

 

  • Advantages of Automatic Lubrication
  • Scheduled exchanges on running equipment reduce personnel- and material costs and increase economic efficiency.
  • Continous relubrication at short intervals reduces wear and seals lubrication points against contamination. 
  • Remote installations of lubrication systems reduce the time that workers have to spend in dangerous areas.

 

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

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