Lubricant consumption drops by up to 33% because dosing is exact instead of estimated. The manual lubrication round of 15 to 20 minutes per machine per cycle also disappears, including the lock-out procedure around it. The biggest gain is usually not in the grease itself but in avoided downtime: 40 to 60% of maintenance costs

That differs greatly by manufacturer and configuration. As a guideline: 60 to 250 points per press, 10 to 40 per robot cell, 50 to over 400 per conveyor section, and 2 to 8 chain lubrication stations plus 30 to 120 bearing points per overhead conveyor run. For extensive conveyor installations, SKF reports configurations with up

For the moderate-temperature stretch, LHMT 68 is sufficient — a mineral chain oil with ISO VG 68 viscosity, a flashpoint above 200 °C, and a silicone-free formulation. For the oven section, LHHT 250 is the choice: synthetic, ester-based, usable up to 250 °C, and virtually residue-free, so no lacquer build-up forms in the links.

By applying it contact-free or targeted, instead of dripping or brushing it on. Airless oil projection with CLK or PFC applies an exact volume, pitch by pitch, to the friction points using spray nozzles, without any system part touching the chain and without oil in the extraction air. For heavy overhead conveyor chain, a GIS

Yes. Besides a time-driven mode, the CLP Smart also has a counter-driven and a progressive cycle-driven operating mode, so the lubrication frequency moves with the number of strokes or passes actually carried out. For standalone points, the wired TLSD 1-DK does the same: it only lubricates when the machine is actually running.

Yes, and that’s exactly the point. A bearing needs lubrication while it’s in motion, whereas manual lubrication can usually only happen when the station is stopped and locked out. Automatic systems deliver during operation, without anyone having to enter a fenced zone — which also reduces the number of lock-out procedures per week.

Largely, yes. The pipework, pump layout, and distributor blocks are prepared and, where possible, delivered pre-assembled, so only the connection to the machine falls within your scheduled stop. Euroquip plans per zone around your maintenance calendar and delivers the installation in phases, station by station.
