Fans, blowers and fan systems must be lubricated at regular intervals. Fans are found in almost all industries: hotels, hospitals, chemical and power plants, paper and recycling industries, mining, ships and many more. The vast majority of fans convey air and the areas of application are correspondingly diverse: cooling, ventilation, explosion protection, air supply, drying, air conditioning and transport.
Lubrication
The main lubrication points are on bearings of the electric motors and the pillow block bearings of the main shaft
Challenges
- Environment: high temperatures, large temperature fluctuations in outdoor applications
- Technical: high availability, 24/7 operation
- Installation: Plants are often located on buildings that are difficult to access
Benefits
- Fresh lubricant is fed continuously
- No over or under lubrication
- The continuous supply of lubricant enables a very high availability of the systems
- Fans are also often used in Ex areas, for which simalubes have unrestricted approval
Solution
In most cases, the lubricators can be screwed directly onto the lubrication points (bearings or seals)
