You’ve probably heard the expression about something “running like a well-oiled machine,” referring to something that operates well, especially if there are lots of moving parts. But if you own or operate equipment that requires lubrication, you know that this expression is much more than a trite saying. You understand that proper lubrication is a required maintenance practice that is vital to the life of your machinery. Even though you may understand how important proper lubrication is, you may still be asking yourself some questions that indicate your need for a better lubrication solution. Some of these questions are listed below.
If any of the above questions have entered your mind, you should consider an automatic lubrication system that can perform lubrication tasks more reliably, effectively, economically, efficiently, consistently, and safely. Automatic lubrication systems substantially improve equipment life and reduce repairs by delivering measured amounts of grease to lubrication points automatically. Productivity is significantly improved since lubrication is performed at specific time intervals while the equipment is running. Grease consumption is reduced since the system only uses the precise amount required. Proper lubrication is always achieved, no matter the environment or weather conditions. Safety is also improved by eliminating the practice of climbing all over machinery to lubricate hard-to-reach areas. Additionally, lubrication is performed without the need to breach machine guarding. In short, an automatic lubrication system will lower your maintenance costs, improve productivity, and increase safety.
