SKF, the leading knowledge engineering company, has launched its latest Vogel centralised lubrication system, specifically designed to improve performance and reduce operating costs in a wide range of food and beverage applications. The ready-to-install automated system can be programmed to apply metered levels of lubrication at multiple points along a production line when and where it is required, extending the service life of equipment, reducing downtime, and eliminating possible safety issues that can be associated with manual or semi-automated lubrication systems.
Traditional methods of manual or semi-automatic lubrication often fail to deliver effective and accurate levels of lubrication, which can lead to isolated incidences of under or over lubrication, as well as the possibility of lubrication being overlooked altogether. As a result, this can reduce the efficiency and performance of moving components, heightening the risk of potential system failure and increasing operating costs significantly.
By comparison, the latest centralised lubrication system offers complete control and accuracy over the frequency, volume and position of the lubricant discharged. A typical system can be constructed from one of several Vogel pumping stations using a single-line, dual-line or progressive feeder type system. The basic unit layout incorporates essential components such as gear pumps, piston pumps and piston distributors, which can be automatically operated by remote control and pressure switches.
Vogel's centralised lubrication systems are compatible with oil and grease lubricants NLGI grades 000 to 2, and are based on DIN ISO 1219 and DIN 24271 standards. Each system is factory-configured with product consumables readily available to meet end user requirements.
One of the key benefits of the centralised lubrication system is that it enables minimal quantities of lubrication to be used, without affecting production efficiency. This specialised technique is called minimal quantity lubrication, and has been pioneered by SKF to help customers minimise operating costs and environmental damage while improving machine reliability and efficiency.
