Centralized Lubrication Equipment: How to Lubricate Moving Link Chains
GlobalBound Industries ILC. once-thru oil feed automatic lubrication systems deposit biodegradable vegetable oils on chain metal friction points for long life and high efficiency.
In successful chain lubrication systems, it is imperative to fill the gap between the pin-link plate and the roller-link plate with the correct lubricant. This action creates more uptime and less downtime as well as extending chain life.
Two popular centralized lubrication methods include:
Lubeit Programmable Electric Motor Driven Meter System with Proportional Flow Restrictors
Built-in solid state electric program lets operators "zero-in" on correct operating cycle output deliveries.
Meter units and brushes to suit specific chain requirements are available. Download Lubeit Booklet.
LUBETOOL Air Operated Positive Displacement Micro Drop System
The fully automatic air/oil system offers users a built-in wide range of outputs and operating interval adjustments.
The co-axle "tube in a tube" air/oil delivery system creates a heavier than air micro droplet mix right at the jet delivery tip. Micro drops are accurately transferred to the chain's contact points.
This arrangement is ideally suited to multiple strand chains. Download LUBETOOL Micro Lubrication.
Bio-Based Vegetable Oils for Chain Lubrication
An effective chain lubricant has the ability to penetrate deep into the chain's links connections to protect and promote long life.
Biodegradable vegetable based chain lubricants with anti-wear characteristics are ideal for chain lubrication. A package with EP's (extreme pressure), rust and oxidation inhibitors for corrosion protection as well as tackifiers with "stay-put" ability provide lasting protection for chain contact surfaces. Typical examples: Renewable Lubricants, Inc. Bio-Chain & Cable™ lubricants, a viscosity selection includes medium, heavy medium, heavy, and extreme heavy vegetable oils for a variety of applications.
