A good lubricant is essential for preventative maintenance for your equipment. Most of the foremen that are responsible for the maintenance of equipment will agree with this statement concerning preventative maintenance. If there is a lack of grease where there is movement and it collects dust or you wash the machine it will prematurely start to damage the moving parts.
Today’s reality is that most equipment are exposed to rough conditions (demolition, excavation, etc.) where the system is dangerously exposed. Working in such conditions can implicate costly repairs due to crushed and/or torn hoses which can lead to extra time for preventative maintenance.
Lubrication systems adapted to their environment
In order to address this issue, Alltech Group has adapted their lubrication systems to such environments by installing a special shielding to prevent damaging parts and hoses in critical areas of the equipment.
Shielding is installed on equipment that operate in extreme conditions such as demolition, excavation in rocky areas, mines, quarries, forestry, etc. it prevents costly repairs due to crushed and/or torn hoses. All areas at high risk are reinforced and protected.
Here is an Allfett lubrication system installed on an excavator that works in extreme demolition
- The distribution valve located on the H-Link is protected by a protective metal plate.
- Points situated in hazardous areas are linked by ultra-resistant metal hose.
- A steel protection fitting protects the points of the H-Link which are at risk.
- The supply lines of the H-Link are protected by a mechanical tube.
