Reduced lubricant consumption
DESCRIPTION
What are the benefits of installing a centralized lubrication system?
Above all, it extends the service life of the machine, while also saving employee time that would otherwise be spent manually greasing every lubrication point.
The lubrication pump is installed in a convenient, easily accessible location, and its compact size allows installation even on small machines.
FULL Maszyny Budowlane offers a comprehensive service package – including installation, maintenance, and spare parts supply for SKF centralized lubrication systems.
Lubrication is one of the key factors of machine reliability, yet for many operators, manual lubrication is time-consuming and cumbersome. Finding a smarter, more efficient, and technology-driven lubrication method helps maintain reliability without the costs and effort of manual servicing.
Although the initial investment in an automatic lubrication system may seem high, it pays off much faster than expected. Labor costs are reduced, as the operator no longer wastes time on manual greasing — improving overall productivity. Additionally, the service life of machine components is significantly extended. Friction is the greatest enemy of moving parts, and reducing it is crucial.
In a typical machine, lubricants account for only 2–3% of operating costs, but up to 40% of maintenance costs result from improper lubrication.
With an automatic system, no downtime is required for re-lubrication — the system operates continuously while the machine is running, improving performance. Lubricating during bearing rotation ensures even grease distribution, and a thin grease film remains active, protecting components from contaminants even under harsh conditions.
Although central lubrication is often associated with large industrial machinery, it is also widely used in agricultural and municipal machines (e.g., garbage trucks), and even in public transport vehicles such as trams and other rail systems.
Most importantly, centralized lubrication systems play a crucial role in virtually every type of equipment. A one-time investment in installation results in significantly longer equipment life and considerable long-term savings.
