Pumps

Pumps are the core of many industrial applications. 

A failing pump can often interrupt the entire work or production process. One of the main factors for trouble-free operation is effective lubrication. A regular injection of fresh, clean grease provides extra protection against the entry of dirt and water and will extend the service life of your pumps.

Challenges

Pumps are often operated under extreme conditions, subjecting individual components to special wear. These can include heavy contamination from slurry or dust, as well as hazardous materials such as bases and weak acids.

Many lubrication points can only be accessed using extreme protection measures (safety gloves and protective masks). As a result, they are not lubricated as often as required or are completely neglected.

Lubrication starvation results in wear, which leads to failure of equipment components or pump leakages.

Lubrication points

Lubrication points (roller bearings) are located on the drive shaft between drive motor and pump body or in the pump housing.

Lubrication of gland seal and labyrinth seal prevents the ingress of dirt and / or pumped media into the bearing. Seals of bearings and bearing housings must be permanently supplied with the specified amount of the right 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.

Direct mounting on the lubrication point: e.g. perma FLEX
  • Easy, quick mounting
  • For lubrication points with little vibration / shocks
  • For easy-to-reach, safe lubrication points
perma STAR VARIO single point lubricators
Remote mounting to the lubrication point: e.g. perma STAR VARIO
  • 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
