Yes. The SKF modules build on each other: you start by consolidating lubrication points via distributor blocks to a single accessible point, later connect a pump and controller to it, and then grow into a sectional or connected system. Euroquip typically suggests starting with the section that has the highest downtime cost, and plans the

That varies greatly by manufacturer and configuration. As a guideline: 60 to 200 points in the wet and press section, 150 to over 500 across the entire dry section, 40 to 120 in the calender and winder, and 25 to 80 on a slitter. We count them during the machine scan and record them in

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. The biggest gain is usually not in the grease itself but in avoided downtime: 40 to 60% of maintenance costs stem from inadequate lubrication, while lubricants

Because the bearing there needs not only lubrication but also cooling. Circulating lubrication removes heat while simultaneously separating dirt, air, and water from the oil. SKF CircOil systems are explicitly suited to applications above 80 °C in and around the bearing, and are available for flow rates from 1 to 3,000 l/min.

That’s exactly where automatic lubrication makes the difference. Manual lubrication can usually only happen when production is stopped, and operating one point manually takes an average of two minutes in conditions with moisture, height, and vibration. A central system doses while the machine is running; where that isn’t feasible, you install a remote TLSD single-point

Yes, provided you choose the right system type. Dual-line systems are designed for exactly this scenario: up to 2,000 lubrication points over distances of 120 metres and more, at pressures up to 400 bar, in dirty, wet, or damp environments with high back-pressure at the lubrication point. In practice we usually work with one system

A grease that withstands water ingress without losing its lubricating film. SKF LGHB 2 retains its load-carrying capacity, oxidation resistance, and corrosion protection even with heavy water ingress; LGWA 2 is explicitly suited to effective lubrication in wet conditions at high load and low speed. More important than the product choice alone is the dosing:
