Sewage treatment plants are highly specialized and complex facilities. Safe and trouble-free operation is of utmost importance during the complete process. Important equipment parts like roller and sliding bearings, chains and spindles are constantly exposed to dirt, water, phosphates and other chemicals. Continuous re-lubrication can prevent premature equipment wear and breakdowns.
Lubrication points
Physical treatment
Area: Screening Grit / grease removal Sedimentation tank Application: Chain guide roller Scraper Impeller wheel Biological treatment
Area: Aerated tank Clarification tank Application: Surface aerator Circular scraper Sludge treatment
Area: Sludge thickening Sludge dewatering Application: Sludge belt conveyor Screw press Challenges
- High energy costs
- Dirt, chemicals, water
- Hard-to-reach and dangerous lubrication points
- High maintenance costs, lack of staff, spread out equipment and lubrication points
Advantages of automatic lubrication
Advantages of automatic lubrication
- perma lubrication systems seal and protect lubrication points against contamination.
- Less maintenance runs minimize the time that workers spend in dangerous areas and increase workplace safety.
- Different sizes and precise settings, based on manufacturer recommendations, prevent lubricant starvation and save lubricant.
- Environmentally friendly, bio-degradable lubricants in closed systems.
Solutions
Direct mounting on the 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 the 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
