simalube automatic lubrication system in the logistics industry: maximum efficiency and reliability

In the fast-moving and demanding world of logistics, efficiency and reliability are the keys to success. High-bay warehouses, conveyor systems, sorting systems and transport vehicles are at the heart of every logistics operation. These ultra-modern systems are in operation around the clock and must be able to withstand the highest loads at all times. One challenge here is the constant and precise lubrication of the numerous lubrication points - a task that is solved reliably and efficiently with the simalube automatic lubricator from simatec.

Lubrication points

Challenges

  • No contamination of systems and products due to uncontrolled lubricant leakage from excess grease/oil
  • No time for maintenance interventions, as the logistics run around the clock
  • 100% availability of the systems must be guaranteed
  • Limited space
  • Small amounts of lubrication / time
  • The use of approved speciality lubricants requires a product that can be used flexibly
  • Minimisation of wear and tear

Solution

  • simalube grease and oil dispenser to refill yourself
  • Brush for lubricating chains and guides
  • Brush with side connection, for applications in confined spaces
  • simalube lubricant dispenser in a size and running time precisely matched to consumption
  • The smallest lubricator, simalube 15 ml, is used where space is limited
  • Matching accessories from the simatec product range
  • IMPULSE connect: Digital monitoring and configuration of the lubrication points via Bluetooth®. The lubrication points can be monitored digitally. The device can be used to increase the pressure up to 10 bar.

Advantages of simalube lubrication systems
 

  • Reliability: Once installed, the lubrication points are reliably supplied with lubricant and are no longer forgotten
  • Reduction in service and maintenance costs: no need for manual lubrication, which saves an enormous amount of time
  • Longer system service life thanks to continuous and precise lubrication
  • No need to switch off the systems during maintenance
  • Available in five sizes: 15, 30, 60, 125 and 250ml, plus multipoint 5x8ml
  • Flexibility: The running times of the dispenser are infinitely adjustable from 1–12 months
  • The progress of the dispensing process can be monitored at any time thanks to the transparent housing (quantity control)
  • Installation is possible in the tightest of spaces
  • The hermetically sealed system prevents the ingress of dirt (IP68)
  • Simple, ecological disposal (100% recyclable)
