Spit/spray system.
Currently the most commonly installed lubrication system for chains on large installations. It is commonly very expensive to install, often involving a complex plc to control both the timing and volume of lubricant. Extensive pipe-work is also often required to attempt to ensure that the lubricant goes where it is required, and that not too much of it goes “elsewhere”. (A difficult thing to control!) Variable chain speeds cause these types of system to miss the vital lubrication points of the chain.
With all of these systems there are also a number of common issues.
“Over lubrication” can cause the chain rollers to slide leading to “flat spots”, which can cause the rollers not to roll. This can also causes product contamination and environmental issues – not to mention the wasted cost.
“Under lubrication” will cause the chain to wear and break down prematurely. Over time there is also a danger of inaccurate lubrication. It is widely recognized that, at some point, the chain stretches (wears), which moves the pitch of the pins. The static lubrication points of the spray nozzles cannot compensate for this. Manual intervention is required to reset the system, a costly exercise. Nozzles can also get damaged and knocked out of position, so that even if the system is operating, the lubricant is not penetrating the pins exactly where required
RotaLube, the patented system from Interlube Systems has none of these drawbacks. It offers a totally unique and precise method of applying the right amount of lubricant to exactly the right place on the chain no matter what the speed and size of the chain and how frequently the speed varies.
Designed to fit precisely all standard chain sizes (both British Standard & American Standard); the RotaLube applicator delivers lubricant directly to the exact points required, in a controlled and consistent manner. As the applicator moves with the chain, the issue of wear is eliminated; it will not get blocked by dirt or debris, and will maintain accurate lubrication over time, whatever the condition of the chain and pins. Its’ innovative design negates the need for complex control systems and intricate pipe-work. Installation times are significantly reduced compared to alternative systems, and should an applicator get damaged, a replacement takes only minutes to fit.
