Not much, not a little. Do you know why proper lubrication is of key importance in every operation?

Maintenance workers in various manufacturing sectors know that proper procedures are essential for the smooth running of all operations. This is especially true for lubrication, because mechanical failure may result in production stoppage and thus a significant loss of sales. How to prevent such disorders effectively?

Precision lubrication is the basis

While lack of lubricant causes premature wear components, overmoistening can be the cause of overheating and vibration. Therefore, maintenance mechanics need to be aware of the risks associated with using the wrong lubricant, the wrong application or when the lubricant is even completely forgotten.

The elimination of all these risks is provided by automatic lubrication. Switching to it can help not only eliminate malfunctions associated with excessive or insufficient lubrication, but also confusion and the use of incompatible lubricants. Besides automatic lubrication significantly increases the reliability of the device by ensuring the optimum frequency of lubrication intervals. A small amount of lubricant at regular and short intervals is the best way to avoid overlubrication, overheating, vibration, dirt ingress, equipment wear and also product contamination.

Energy-efficient and environmentally friendly

Relubrication carries one more risk - In addition to causing stress, overheating and rapid degradation of the lubricant, excessive lubrication also has a direct impact on the environment.

After all, when removing and cleaning from excess lubricants, you consume an enormous amount of water, rags, degreasers and toxic solvents.

Another negative factor of improper lubrication is energy intensity - Both lack and excess lubricant affect the increase in friction and internal resistance mechanical components. This negatively affects the efficiency of the device, as well as energy consumption.

Patented lubricant dispensers

SpectraTech lubricant dispensers are taking advantage of patented technology and with the right lubricant reliably provide the exact required amount of lubricant to the individual lubrication points 24 hours a day. Automatic lubricants are continuously adjustable for a period from 1 to 12 months. They guarantee high reliability, as they lubricate constantly and do not turn off. Lubricants work on the principle of generating compressed gas, in which no toxic substances are excreted. Can be installed even in smaller spaces or where access is difficult for manual lubrication. There is also an extensive and user-friendly range of accessories, brackets, fittings and brushes that can be used to apply lubricants to many types of lubrication points.

Lubricating Spectra-Tech units combined with precisely tailored special lubricants This ensures maximum reliability of mechanical components, saves energy and the environment. In short an investment that pays off!
