56%<\/span><\/p>\nof premature bearing failures are caused by contamination and inadequate 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 much time correct manual lubrication costs. 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 inadequate lubrication<\/p>\n

In bottling plants, SKF has seen applications where automatic lubrication cut downtime by up to <\/span>80%<\/span> and annual spare-parts consumption \u2014 bearings, chains, gears \u2014 fell by an average of around <\/span>50%<\/span>. On rinsers, downtime reduction reached as high as <\/span>86%<\/span>.<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/p>\nSources: SKF publications on lubrication solutions for the food and beverage industry.
\n<\/i>Your results depend on line occupancy, number of lubrication points and your current lubrication practice \u2014 we map that out during a line scan.<\/i><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\t\t\tFour levels of lubrication:
where does your line stand today?<\/p>\n
\t<\/b><\/h2><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/p>\n
Not every machine deserves the same level of lubrication. A rarely accessed lubrication point in a dry zone calls for something different than a carousel running 24 hours a day. SKF builds the four levels modularly, so you can expand step by step. Euroquip determines with you which level pays off fastest per machine.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Level 1 \u00b7 Basic<\/span><\/p>\nManual lubrication<\/b><\/h3>\n
The right tool for points you deliberately keep manual<\/em><\/p>\n\n- SKF Lincoln 1882-E<\/b>\u2014 20V Li-ion cordless grease gun, for faster and more consistently dosed lubrication rounds<\/li>\n
- 1142 \/ 1151 \/ 1035<\/b> \u2014 pistol-grip, lever and double-lever grease guns for lower frequencies<\/li>\n
- LAGN 120<\/strong> \u2014 grease fitting kit with 120 conical fittings, for standardizing your lubrication points across the entire line<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Strong in:<\/strong> low investment, direct control, suited to points with generous intervals and good accessibility.<\/p>\nLimits:<\/strong> dosing depends on whoever does the round. Too much grease contaminates your product and your zone, too little lets the bearing run dry. And with 24-hour production, that round has to happen while the machine is running \u2014 with all the safety risks that entails.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Level 2 \u00b7 Consolidation<\/span><\/p>\nSemi-automatic lubrication<\/b><\/h3>\n
Bringing multiple lubrication points together into one<\/em><\/p>\n\n- SSV<\/strong> \u2014 progressive divider block, distributes grease from one supply point across multiple outlet points in a fixed, verifiable sequence<\/li>\n
- SSVD<\/strong> \u2014 adjustable progressive divider block, for when lubrication points need different amounts from one another<\/li>\n
- Armored, canvas, polyamide, steel tubing<\/b> \u2014 custom-made for your machine layout<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What it delivers:<\/strong> instead of hunting for and operating fifteen points separately, your technician lubricates one central point. Distribution happens mechanically and forcibly: if one outlet blocks, the whole block stops \u2014 so a fault becomes visible instead of going unnoticed.<\/p>\nIdeal for:<\/strong> machines with hard-to-reach points, wet zones where you’d rather not stand with a grease gun, and lines where you’re not yet ready to invest in fully automatic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Level 3 \u00b7 Continuous \u00b7 Most chosen in F&B<\/span><\/p>\nFully automatic lubrication<\/b><\/h3>\n
The right lubricant, in the right amount, at the right moment \u2014 with no one involved<\/em><\/p>\n\n- CLP \/ PLP<\/strong> \u2014 electrically driven compact grease pump for small to medium progressive systems<\/li>\n
- P203<\/strong> \u2014 electrically driven oil\/grease pump for larger systems and sectional setups<\/li>\n
- ETP<\/strong> \u2014 electrically driven compact lubrication unit<\/li>\n
- EDL1<\/strong> \u2014 electric grease booster pump for long pipe runs or higher back-pressure<\/li>\n
- CLK<\/strong> \u2014 electrically driven oil-based chain lubrication kit<\/li>\n
- OCL-M<\/strong> \u2014 shaft-driven chain lubrication kit, for chains that only need lubrication while actually running<\/li>\n
- Lubrigun<\/strong> \u2014 compressed-air-driven drum pump for sectional systems across a full bottling line<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Why this matters heavily in food:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Lubrication happens while the machine is running \u2014 exactly when the bearing needs it<\/li>\n
- Dosing is fixed, so over-lubrication and its contamination risk disappear<\/li>\n
- Your technicians no longer need to enter moving zones for routine lubrication<\/li>\n
- The lubrication round disappears from the critical path of your planned stops<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Practical effect:<\/strong> a bottling line can up to double the speed of a spiral conveyor, because automatically lubricated transmission chains can run faster without damaging bottles.<\/p>\nStainless-steel execution:<\/strong> components in wet zones are made of stainless steel or housed in a stainless enclosure, so they withstand high-pressure cleaning and stay corrosion-free.<\/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<\/strong> \u2014 connected compact grease pump with three operating modes: time-based, counter-based and progressive cycle-based<\/li>\n
- P253 Smart<\/strong> \u2014 connected oil\/grease pump with up to three pump elements and various reservoir sizes<\/li>\n
- SKF eLube app<\/strong> \u2014 connects automatically to all eLube products in range<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What you do with it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Read fill level, operating status and mode without entering or stopping the line<\/li>\n
- Spot a blocked line or an empty reservoir within minutes instead of at the next round<\/li>\n
- Start a test lubrication cycle from your phone<\/li>\n
- A log of all faults, warnings and events; reports are saved automatically and emailed<\/li>\n
- Each user logs in individually, so actions in the status reports are traceable \u2014 valuable for audits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Why this is relevant in food:<\/strong> the log shows that lubrication happened, when, and with what dose. In an audit or a complaint investigation, that’s the difference between assuming and proving.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
