Proper lubrication is the lifeblood by which many applications live or die, but it’s sometimes shocking to see how few facilities take this crucial aspect of their production seriously. While most maintenance personnel and engineers are keenly aware of the importance of proper lubrication to meet productivity and reliability goals, it is amazing to see how few plants make a concerted effort to ensure that their lubrication practices are as efficient as possible. When one considers that improper lubrication can account for up to 80% of all equipment failures, the solution becomes clear: proper lubrication must be maintained for a plant to operate at peak efficiency. But few maintenance managers these days have the time or ability to deal with additional concerns, and no one really wants to endure the hassles of paying extra attention to the various pumps, bearings, gearboxes, and hydraulic systems that make production possible.
Pulsarlube has the solution.
Pulsarlube’s automatic lubrication systems are a efficient and cost-effective way to ensure that lubrication happens on schedule and in the right quantities every single time. Pulsarlube’s automatic lubricators are up to 30% less expensive than similar products – and several times less expensive than fancy integrated automatic lubrication systems – and reduce your maintenance concerns automatically.
It is literally an install-and-forget solution.
The automatic lubricators contain a small amount of non-toxic gas that provides constant pressure to the lubrication piston. This ensures that the correct amount of lubricant is applied every single time – an advantage that is impossible with manual lubricators. This operating gas is generated within the lubricator, which is powered by a small battery contained in the unit. No external electrical hookups are required. Best of all, the metering rate can be adjusted at any time, allowing each lubricator to be used for up to one year with zero attention on the part of the maintenance crew.
The advantages of proper lubrication are numerous: improved component life, prevention of contamination entering into mechanical components, increased equipment reliability, etc. But what about the hidden benefits of an automatic lubrication system? Pulsarlube lubricators allow components in dangerous or hard-to-reach places to be lubricated without requiring maintenance personnel to physically be there; they lower operating costs by reducing the amount of maintenance staff needed to perform lubrication tasks, allowing technicians to focus more of their time on other maintenance issues. All of this is done while the equipment is running, reducing the need for downtime in order to perform lubrication.
Pulsarlube lubricators have been proven to reduce maintenance failures at nearly every single facility that uses them, from mining to steel production to packing plants to oil and chemical refineries. There is literally not a single industry that doesn't stand to benefit. One facility - a paper mill in Pennsylvania - installed Pulsarlube automatic lubricators on lines that operate 24/7; this plant had experienced several pump shutdowns due to equipment failure caused by dry running, for the same reasons that plague most facilities: few maintenance staff, increased demands to keep machines operating, difficulty in accessing equipment for lubrication, etc. The Pulsarlube lubricators were installed in December of 2007, and to this day - over two years later - the plant has not experienced a single problem with any of these pumps.
That's the power of proper lubrication!
