During the complex cleaning processes which take place in wastewater and sewage treatment plants, mechanical parts such as chains, bearings and guides come into contact with water containing waste, phosphates and acidic substances. The weather also has a major impact on equipment and facilities. Without regular lubrication, the parts will wear out faster, causing the equipment to stop Working properly and necessitating expensive repair work. For this reason, continual lubrication is vital.
| Challenges | Solution |
|---|---|
| Outdoor applications | Simalube lubricator |
| Temperature fluctuations | IMPULSE connect: Digital monitoring and configuration of lubrication points via Bluetooth®. The lubrication points can be monitored from a distance of 20 m. The device can be used to increase the pressure up to 10 bar. |
| Applications partly in hazardous areas (Ex areas) |
Areas of application and advantages
| Simalube applications in wastewater and sewage treatment plants | Further benefits |
|---|---|
| Clearing devices in primary and secondary clarifiers | Reliability: Once installed, the lubrication points are reliably lubricated and never forgotten |
| Sludge dewatering and sludge storage | The hermetically sealed system prevents contamination by dust and debris (IP68) |
| Sand and grease filters | Reduction of service requirements and maintenance costs: Manual lubrication is no longer necessary meaning fewer disruptions and a huge saving of time |
| Agitators and rabble rake devices | Longer service life of machines thanks to continuous and accurate lubrication |
| Screening plants | Flexibility: The running time is adjustable from 1–12 months |
| Presses | No need to shut down the machines during maintenance |
| Slide valves | Approved in all Ex zones |
| Pump stations | |
| Digestion tanks |
