In this sector that’s often the deciding argument. Manual lubrication means climbing onto platforms, working near screen boxes and conveyor bridges, and walking among moving equipment. SKF explicitly states that automatic lubrication reduces the health and safety risks associated with manually lubricating remote, hard-to-reach zones. With a central system, the task moves to a single

SKF calculates a 54% reduction in man-hours for lubrication when switching to automatic lubrication, and speaks of a reduction of nearly 100% in manual lubrication activity once all points are connected. On top of that comes the time you no longer spend stopping, locking out, and restarting an installation in order to lubricate it.

That differs greatly by manufacturer and configuration. SKF uses as a guideline 15 or more points on a crusher, 30 or more on a conveyor, 23 or more on a wheel loader, and 28 or more on a dumper. In practice we arrive at 15 to 45 per crusher, 8 to 30 per screening unit,

You need a high-viscosity grease with solid lubricants for that. SKF LGEV 2 contains molybdenum disulphide and graphite in an extremely high-viscosity base oil and is specifically intended for large trunnion bearings under high load at low speeds, where micro-slip occurs. LGEM 2 is the slightly more broadly applicable variant. For system use, we validate

Yes. SKF and SKF Lincoln components are modular and are fitted as retrofits on installations of various brands and build years. Euroquip measures the lubrication points, determines the pipe routing and the pump location — for a vibrating screen, for example, on the fixed frame rather than the vibrating part — and carries out the

Because your product is an abrasive. SKF puts it literally: let dust, dirt, sand, and water work their way into the components, and they form an abrasive paste that substantially shortens service life. A central lubrication system maintains a constant flow of grease that pushes that dirt back out, whereas manual lubrication can push it
