Open Gear Lubrication Systems

Open Gear Spray System

Open Gear Spray Systems incorporate proven intermittent spray technology to reduce lubricant consumption while ensuring open gears are properly lubricated. These systems monitor both the lubricant and airflow to the nozzle tip, ensuring the right amount of lubricant is delivered at the right time. Using one of these systems to lubricate your open gears will create more operational uptime and reduce operating costs while extending gear and pinion life.

Single-Line Automatic Spray System

The spray systems are used to lubricate large gear and pinion sets such as ball mills, rod mills, kilns, etc. They are widely applied in power generation, mine, cement, forging and paper equipment. These lubrication systems can increase gears working life, reduce maintenance time and costs.

Gear face widths of 50mm to 1.06m can be lubricated with nozzle. The gear spray systems operate intermittently, they can be thought of as film maintaining devices. The electrical controls provide broad cycling flexibility as well as fault monitoring and afterblow to purge the nozzles.

Overhead Conveyor Lubrication System

Dual line lubricating systems are found in virtually every industry in which continuous duty operation is required. From steel production to pulp and paper, from mining equipment to machine tools, automatic application of the lubricant provides significant benefits to the equipment user. There are several components that are used in designing a Dual line system:

  • Valves
  • Reversing Valves
  • Central Stations
  • Controllers

Dual line Systems are economical for a system with more than 20 bearing points and lubrication points can be added easily without redesigning the total system. A blockage between feed line and bearing will not shut the system down, ensuring that the remaining bearings will continue to be lubricated. There are positive lubrication indicators for each bearing point enabling easy monitoring for any blocked points. Dual line systems have the ability to positively displace a broad range of lubricants from light oil to grade 2 grease. Lubrication discharge volumes at each lubrication point are fully adjustable in the field, even after start-up.

Lubricants - Small Cost, Huge Returns

Lubrication Management Programs Protect Your Assets and Save You Money:

Although lubricants make up a mere 3% of the typical maintenance budget; using ineffective products, techniques and applications can have a significant impact on the lubrication-related costs that make up 40% of that budget. A Lubrication Management Program designed by the Technical Consultants at Lubrication Technologies, Inc. can help you target those areas where you see red.

  • Your equipment and components will last longer, run more efficiently and more reliably, and you won’t replace equipment or components prematurely
  • Your labor force will spend less time on routine lubrication-related maintenance and no time on lubricant-related equipment failures
  • You’ll reduce over-all lubricant consumption as well as waste
