Functioning conveyors are essential for smooth process flows.
Despite dirt, dust or strong vibration, optimal lubrication is necessary to prevent equipment failures. Costly repairs and service visits represent a significant part of operating costs, which can be minimised significantly by using perma lubrication systems.
Challenges
Large conveyors often extend over long distances and several levels and are difficult to access. Relubrication should ideally take place while the equipment is running. Many transfer points can only be lubricated with the help of catwalk grating or work platforms and are therefore often neglected. Accident prevention and workplace safety must be ensured at all times.
Lubrication points are often neglected because they are located up high, around the back, or in places with little room to maneuver. Maintenance work in such areas during operation is extremely dangerous and jeopardizes workplace safety.
Lubrication starvation results in wear, leads to failure of equipment components and reduces productivity and cost effectiveness.
Dirt and water must not enter the lubrication points
No unnecessary equipment downtimes due to relubrication
Workplace safety must be ensured
Lubrication points
Pillow block housings with spherical roller bearings are mainly used for drive and bend pulleys.
Bearings and bearing housing seals must be permanently supplied with lubricant.
Solutions
Mount a perma lubrication system at the lubrication point. Depending on the conditions prevailing at the lubrication point, the perma lubrication system can either be mounted directly or remotely.
- Easy, quick mounting
- For lubrication points with little vibration / shocks
- For easy-to-reach, safe lubrication points
- For lubrication points with strong vibration / shocks (isolation of lubrication system)
- For lubrication points which are unsafe to access: Mounting in safe areas
- For hard-to-reach lubrication points

Advantages of automatic lubrication
Prevent contamination
Lubricant seals lubrication points and prevents ingress of contamination
No interruption
Lubrication takes place while the equipment is running without interrupting the work process
Accident prevention
perma lubrication systems are installed outside of dangerous areas (remote mounting) and actively contribute to accident prevention
Lower environmental impact
Precise lubricant discharge lowers lubricant consumption and thus the environmental impact
