Fully automatic lubrication system receives ATEX certification

As a result, the system can now be used in hazardous areas. In this article, in addition to the unique applications, we also list the advantages.

LUG series an automatic lubrication system

The LUG (Lubrication Unit Grease) series consists of 10 successive lubrication units with 1 to 5 pumps and is suitable for 1 to 40 lubrication points. With this fully automatic lubrication system you increase productivity because there is less risk of components running dry, resulting in costly downtime and repairs.

In addition to all the accessories needed to set up a complete lubrication plan (hoses, nipples, connectors, valves, etc.), we also supply, for example, PU pinions with straight and helical teeth to completely lubricate rack and pinion drives. So with this solution you get a total solution.

ATEX applications of the automatic lubrication system

The lubrication unit is certified by ISTI and TÜV according to class Ex-tc-IIIB-IP5x. This makes this lubrication unit extremely suitable for use in, for example, the following hazardous areas:

• Petrochemical industry,
• Paint Industry,
• Paper industry,
• Food industry, (due to powdered ingredients)
• Wood processing industry. (because of wood dust or sawdust)

Of course, the benefits we mentioned in our earlier article also remain:

Benefits of this ATEX lubrication system

This system has the following advantages:

• Environmentally friendly because there is less waste, less grease consumption and it is energy-saving. The lubrication interval is programmable via the PLC or manually.
• Safe because it keeps your people away from dangerous areas.
• Conveniently, the system monitors itself and gives an alert via the PLC in case of malfunction.
• Cost-effective, with a payback period of several months.
• More productive, because you are less likely to have to deal with e.g. production downtime, and this has a favorable impact on e.g. plant efficiency.
