What is an auto greaser?
An auto greaser, or automatic lubricator, is a device that continuously supplies lubricant to machinery and equipment, eliminating the need for manual lubrication.
The GREASOMATIC®96 is a single point automatic lubricator that provides a precise and constant volume of lubricant, ensuring optimum lubrication at all times. This not only eliminates the time and cost associated with manual lubrication, but also helps improve the health and safety of workers and the environment.
Why invest in auto greasers for your operations?
The GREASOMATIC®96 offers loads of benefits to improve your operations:
-
By automating the greasing process, you'll save time and reduce labor costs, making maintenance less intensive and more efficient. Improved health and safety is another added bonus, and the reduced lubricant consumption and environmental impact only add to the benefits.
-
The GREASOMATIC®96 also helps with asset reliability and care. With reduced downtime and failures, improved production performance, extended asset life, and reduced maintenance costs, you'll see a significant return on investment in no time.
-
Lastly, the GREASOMATIC®96 auto greaser simplifies the lubrication system. No more worrying about using the correct lubricant in the correct place at the correct time - our system ensures it's done for you. Plus, with no cross-contamination of lubricants or ingress of contaminants, you'll have peace of mind knowing your equipment is protected.
Invest in the GREASOMATIC®96 and simplify your lubrication process while reaping the many benefits it offers.
FAQs
How does an automatic greaser work?
An automatic greaser will automatically dispense a precise amount of lubricant to your machinery at regular intervals, reducing the need for manual lubrication.
-
The greaser contains a reservoir of lubricant and a metering system that precisely releases a set volume of lubricant to your machinery at specified intervals.
-
The metering system can be set based on the greasing requirements of your machinery.
-
Auto greasers can be mounted directly on your machinery or in a central lubrication system, making it easy to install and use.
-
Once installed, the auto greaser operates continuously and requires little maintenance, providing consistent, accurate lubrication to improve machine performance, extend asset life, and reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
What makes the GREASOMATIC better than other auto greasers?
The GREASOMATIC 96 auto greaser is better than other auto greasers on the market because of its unique chemical expulsion unit.
Unlike other greasers that rely on springs or mechanisms, the GREASOMATIC operates through an unvarying law of nature. The built-in flexible rubber expansion chamber and galvanic element work together to generate a steadily increasing amount of gas, which gradually expands against a piston to extrude the lubricant. This provides a continuous and precise volume of lubricant, ensuring optimum lubrication.
Additionally, the chemicals and gas remain hermetically sealed within the expansion chamber, preventing contamination of the lubricant. The ejection piston has an indicating ring that allows the discharge state to be monitored, ensuring effective and efficient performance.
Why do auto greasers need a pressure relief valve?
The GREASOMATIC auto greaser is designed with a pressure relief valve to guard against the possibility of the GREASOMATIC being fitted unwittingly to a bearing with blocked grease ways.
Should the pressure built up by the GREASOMATIC prove insufficient to clear the blockage, the valve will open to allow the lubricant to escape and prevent excessive pressurisation of the GREASOMATIC.
The exudation of lubricant around the GREASOMATIC will serve as a warning that the grease ways are blocked and that no lubrication is taking place.
What kind of grease do you use in an auto greaser?
The GREASOMATIC 96 auto greaser comes pre-loaded with grease to suit your application:
-
PURITY FG2 Synthetic: A top performing multi-use EP2 grease with a wide temperature range of -40° to 200°. This is a MPI approved food grade grease compatible with CRC Food Grade Extreme Duty Grease.
-
PEERLESS LLG: A high temperature grease recommended for equipment running continuously at temperatures up to 200°C, extremely wet conditions & long life applications.
-
PURITY FG2 White: PURITY™ FG2 White Grease is a food safe, NLGI 2 grease suitable across a wide range of applications. It’s ideal for replacing CRC Food Grade Multi-Purpose Grease and other aluminium complex based greases.
