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

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
