CASE STUDY 3
Greasing of Conveyors
The CM group cannot monitor all of the conveyor bearings in the plant, so it is the function of the technician to grease the conveyors on a preventative basis. Before the existence of the Ultra-Lube, the technician had to carry a packsack full of extra grease for all of the many head pulleys and guide rollers. Now that he can listen to each bearing, and only grease those that require it, he carries only one extra tube of grease to cover the entire conveyor system. Using the Ultra–Lube unit to detect failed bearings on the conveyor system, has averted breakdowns.
To find those squeaky wheels in your plant, the Ultra-Lube unit will stand alone or work in perfect harmony with an existing Condition Monitoring system to ensure enhanced machine reliability!
