Automatic lubrication for intralogistics – maximum efficiency, lower costs and reduced energy consumption
In modern logistics systems, reliability and efficiency are key. Downtime due to poor lubrication leads to high costs and productivity losses.
With simalube automatic lubricators, all moving parts are continuously and precisely lubricated — fully automatic, 24/7.
Benefits:
-
Up to 30% lower maintenance and operating costs
-
Less wear on bearings, chains and guides
-
Reduced energy consumption through optimized lubrication
-
Higher system reliability and fewer breakdowns
-
Safer workplace, less manual handling
-
Environmentally friendly, no sprays or waste
The cost calculation in the flyer clearly shows the savings in maintenance, energy and downtime.
With simalube, you increase productivity, reduce energy costs and ensure long-term, low-maintenance operation of your logistics systems.
| Challenges | Solution |
|---|---|
| No contamination of systems and products due to uncontrolled lubricant leakage from excess grease/oil | Simalube grease and oil dispenser to refill yourself |
| No time for maintenance interventions, as the logistics run around the clock | Brush for lubricating chains and guides |
| 100% availability of the systems must be guaranteed | Brush with side connection, for applications in confined spaces |
| Limited space | Simalube lubricant dispenser in a size and running time precisely matched to consumption |
| Small amounts of lubrication / time | The smallest lubricator, Simalube 15 ml, is used where space is limited |
| The use of approved speciality lubricants requires a product that can be used flexibly | Matching accessories from the Simatec product range |
| Minimisation of wear and tear | IMPULSE connect: Digital monitoring and configuration of the lubrication points via Bluetooth®. The lubrication points can be monitored digitally. The device can be used to increase the pressure up to 10 bar. |
Areas of application and advantages
| Simalube applications areas in the logistics industry process | Advantages of automatic lubrication | Simalube applications in logistics |
|---|---|---|
| Conveyor belts/systems | Less system downtime | Bearings |
| Sorting systems | Reduced wear and longer component service life | Slide rails |
| Picking robots | Long-term supply of lubrication points that are difficult to reach | Chains |
| Packaging systems | Increased operational reliability, as manual lubrication is not required | Joints |
| Lifting systems | Less time required for maintenance | Gear racks |
| Transport vehicles | Robotic arms and limbs | |
| Guide rollers |
| Systems/machines in logistics companies | Advantages of simalube lubrication systems |
|---|---|
| Conveyor systems | Reliability: Once installed, the lubrication points are reliably supplied with lubricant and are no longer forgotten |
| Fan systems | Reduction in service and maintenance costs: no need for manual lubrication, which saves an enormous amount of time |
| Gearboxes/engines | Longer system service life thanks to continuous and precise lubrication |
| Palletising systems | No need to switch off the systems during maintenance |
| Blower motors | Available in five sizes: 15, 30, 60, 125 and 250ml, plus multipoint 5x8ml |
| Pumps | Flexibility: The running times of the dispenser are infinitely adjustable from 1–12 months |
| Fans | The progress of the dispensing process can be monitored at any time thanks to the transparent housing (quantity control) |
| Vibrating screens | Installation is possible in the tightest of spaces |
| Cooling units | The hermetically sealed system prevents the ingress of dirt (IP68) |
| Cranes | Simple, ecological disposal (100% recyclable) |
Sold millions of times and suitable for any single point lubrication task with grease or oil.
The automatic lubricator simalube provides all possible kinds of lubrication points with lubricant. 24 hours, day in, day out.
Roller bearings which are not lubricated sufficiently or wrongly drop out long before they have reached their expected product life. Simalube lubricators guarantee a consistent supply of lubricant in the pre-adjusted proportioning. Shutdown times are decreased and costs in comparison to time-consuming lubrication by hand are clearly reduced
Within seconds simalube is fixed to the lubricating point. On commissioning, a gas production cell is activated which presses the lubricant on the lubrication point through the release of hydrogen gas. The lubrication amount can be steplessly adjusted by means of an Allen key.
Filled with oil, Simalube is applied for the automatic lubrication of chains, open gears or guide rails for example.
