56%<\/span><\/p>\nof premature bearing failures are caused by contamination and poor lubrication<\/p>\n
More than half of your bearing damage is therefore a lubrication problem, not a bearing problem.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
up to 33%<\/span><\/p>\nless lubricant consumption<\/p>\n
By switching from manual to automatic lubrication. Less grease, precisely dosed, at the right moment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
15\u201320 min<\/span><\/p>\nper machine per maintenance cycle<\/p>\n
That’s how long correct manual lubrication takes. Automation gives that time back to your technicians \u2014 and to your production planning.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
40\u201360%<\/span><\/p>\nof your maintenance costs stem from poor lubrication<\/p>\n
While lubricants themselves account for only 2 to 3% of your operating costs. The ratio between effort and impact is rarely this lopsided.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The SKF Flowline oil supply unit was developed with the paper machine as its first application. Thanks to the cylindrical stainless-steel reservoir with separation plates, the oil dwell time is shorter, which means the installation needs <\/span>up to 50% less oil volume<\/span> than a classic circulation reservoir \u2014 with less to buy, less to dispose of and less to store as a direct result.<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/p>\nSources: SKF publications on lubrication systems, circulation lubrication and lubricants for heavy process industry, including pulp and paper.
<\/i>Your results depend on machine width, the number of lubrication points and your current lubrication practice \u2014 we map this out during a machine scan.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\t\tFour levels of lubrication:
where does your machine stand today?<\/p>\n
\t<\/b><\/h2><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/p>\n
Not every lubrication point deserves the same regime. A gearbox at ground level needs something different from a felt roll ten metres up in the dry end. SKF builds the four levels modularly, so you can expand per section without replacing everything at once. Together with you, Euroquip determines which level pays off fastest per zone.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Level 1 \u00b7 Basic<\/span><\/p>\nManual lubrication<\/b><\/h3>\n
The right tools for points you deliberately keep manual<\/em><\/p>\n\n- SKF Lincoln 1882-E<\/b> \u2014 20 V Li-ion battery grease gun with an integrated grease meter, two flow settings, an operating pressure up to 400 bar (peak 690 bar) and an alarm for a blocked nipple.<\/li>\n
- 1142 \/ 1151 \/ 1035<\/b> \u2014 hand-operated grease guns for points with generous intervals.<\/li>\n
- LAGN 120<\/strong> \u2014 nipple kit with 120 conical nipples, for standardising your lubrication points across the whole machine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Strengths:<\/strong> low investment, direct control, suitable for points with generous intervals and good accessibility.<\/p>\nLimitations:<\/strong> servicing one lubrication point takes an average of two minutes (including travel time and cartridge changes) in conditions that are damp, up high, and vibrating. Multiply that across a machine with hundreds of points, and the round becomes impossible within your shutdown window. That makes the dosing a gamble: too much grease damages the seal, too little lets it run dry.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Level 2 \u00b7 Consolidation<\/span><\/p>\nSemi-automatic lubrication<\/b><\/h3>\n
Bringing multiple lubrication points together into one accessible point<\/em><\/p>\n\n- SSV \/ SSVD<\/strong> \u2014 (adjustable) progressive divider blocks.<\/li>\n
- VPK<\/strong> \u2014 sectional progressive divider block.<\/li>\n
- Armoured, canvas, polyamide, steel lines<\/b> \u2014 custom-made for your machine layout.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What it delivers:<\/strong> instead of searching for fifteen separate points on a platform or under a frame, your technician lubricates one central point safely at working height. The distribution is mechanical and positive: if one outlet or bearing blocks, the entire block stops and the fault is immediately apparent.<\/p>\nIdeal for:<\/strong> lubrication points at height, points in the wet end where you’d rather not stand, and zones where you don’t yet want to make the leap to fully automatic. This is a logical first step towards connecting a pump later.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Level 3 \u00b7 Continuous \u00b7 Most popular in continuous operation<\/span><\/p>\nFully automatic lubrication<\/b><\/h3>\n
The right lubricant, in the right amount, with no one involved<\/em><\/p>\n\n- CLP \/ PLP \/ P203<\/strong> \u2014 electrically driven compact grease pumps (up to a sectional design with the EDL1 booster pump).<\/li>\n
- SKF Maxilube<\/strong> \u2014 an enormously heavy-duty dual-line system. Can smoothly handle up to 2,000 lubrication points over lengths of more than 120 metres (and pressures up to 400 bar).<\/li>\n
- SKF CircOil & Flowline<\/strong> \u2014 circulation lubrication that lubricates and cools the bearing at the same time.<\/li>\n
- CLK, CL-501, CL-OS, GIS<\/strong> \u2014 chain and oil projection systems for your conveying and drive chains.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Why this matters so much in pulp and paper:<\/strong> Manual lubrication is often only possible when production is stopped; in continuous operation this means risky delays. With automatic lubrication you dose continuously, preventively avoiding washout on the wet side and hardening on the hot side. Your people stay away from the unsafe platforms and moving parts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Level 4 \u00b7 Data<\/span><\/p>\nConnected lubrication (SKF eLube \/ IoT)<\/b><\/h3>\n
See what your lubrication system is doing, without stopping the machine<\/em><\/p>\n\n- CLP \/ PLP Smart \/ P253 Smart<\/strong> \u2014 connected grease pumps with operating modes: time-controlled, counter-controlled and progressive cycle-controlled.<\/li>\n
- Datalog controller<\/strong> \u2014 logs the data and communicates flawlessly via the SKF eLube app.<\/li>\n
- Web Gate, SKF Online SW and E-SMS-C<\/strong> \u2014 the ultimate monitoring layer for enormous Maxilube or Flowline installations (alarm confirmation, trend display and SMS alerts to technicians).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
