HYDRAULINK’S AUTOMATED LUBRICATION
ENHANCES RELIABILITY, CURBS DOWNTIME
Ensuring fixed plant and mobile
machinery is properly lubricated
keeps money in the pocket of
owners and operators, as under-lubrication
is a major cause of
machine unreliability and downtime
due to bearing damage and failure.
Ensuring the best and correct
systematic application of grease can
sometimes be a challenge when the
machinery in question is required
to be available 24/7 and worked
continuously on remote, difficult sites
with few breaks.
One answer to this issue is
automatic centralised grease
lubrication systems from Hydraulink,
which is New Zealand agent for high
quality Lincoln Lubrication pumps
and components. Hydraulink’s many
branches throughout New Zealand
are experts at installing these handy
controllers that enable automatic
systems to meet all applications
requirements.
“Industry today has to use its
machinery longer than ever, working
both its fixed and mobile plant to
the fullest extent, as companies
work harder to remain competitive,”
says Hydraulink’s Murray Allen,
NZ industrial manager – sales and
service.
“This, in turn, puts a far greater
focus on good lubrication practices,
to curb wear and tear and to retain
the best resale value for machinery.
This is important for machines that
can be a considerable investment,
from hundreds of thousands of
dollars for civil engineering and
harvesting plant, through to millions
for fixed plant at process, production
and manufacturing plants.”
Hydraulink is ideally placed to
provide guidance on best industry
practice in lubrication through its
24/7 network - with hundreds
of service points throughout the
country, including both mobile units
and Hydraulink regional branches
throughout the country.
“We are already a national leader
in providing skilled, cost-effective
expertise on-site and off-site
across all aspects of the supply and
maintenance of hydraulic hoses,
fittings, adaptors and accessories.
“So, we know the machinery and
industries involved very well, and
efficiently extend this vital service
knowledge into the key areas of
lubrication expertise, all from the
same trusted brand.”
Key industries locally now drawing
on Hydraulink services include
agriculture, construction and infrastructure,
civil engineering, forestry,
farming and primary industry, public
works, manufacturing, mining,
machinery transport and machinery
oem and rental and other industries.
These industries depend on
Hydraulink’s prompt, expert service
coupled with strong supply of quality
branded hydraulic hoses, fittings,
adaptors and accessories vital
to optimising machinery reliability
and safety while avoiding costly
downtime.
“With our strong dealer network
– complemented by mobile units
that can go out on-site – we deliver
our services as and when industry
needs them, where customers need
them, with rigorous and uniform
safety and Standards compliance,
as well as traceability of product and
engineering. This excellence and
uniformity of service and product
is vital to safety standards across
single and multiple sites and organisations.”
Automated lubrication system
benefits:
1. Reduces repairs: by increasing
bearing life (from 20% to 100%
depending on environment and
quality of the manual lubrication
method).
2. Prevents waste of lubricant: by
dispensing precise amounts.
3. Reduces man hours: by reducing
the need for manual lubrication.
4. Eliminates lost production costs
from shutdown for manual
lubrication, thereby increasing
production.
5. Lubricates hard-to reach bearings
and bearings in dangerous areas
without machine shutdown.
6. Reduces product spoilage: by
controlling the amount of lubricant
to bearing.
7. Reduces energy requirements:
by increasing machine efficiency
(lowers bearing friction)
Hydraulink’s mobile units provide
24/7 service from a single contact
point whenever they are needed – to
prevent downtime, optimise uptime
and ensure the smooth flow of
business.
The company’s services extend
from some of the remotest mining
and energy projects to some of the
largest construction and infrastructure
projects throughout Asia-Pacific,
including major road upgrades, OEM
equipment and vehicle service for a
huge range of industries.
