In the food and beverage and consumable goods packaging industry, chain applications are a common component of production lines. These applications are responsible for moving products along conveyor belts and through various stages of the packaging process. To keep these chains running smoothly, it’s essential to ensure that they are properly lubricated. This is where Alemlube’s Automatic Lubrication Systems (ALS) comes in.

In manual lubrication, operators apply lubricant by hand, which can be time-consuming and labour-intensive and dangerous. Additionally, it’s challenging to apply the lubricant evenly and consistently across the desired contact points. Alemlube’s ALS is a game-changer in this regard, regularly distributing small quantities of grease lubricant to each lubrication point frequently. This guarantees hard working components are always perfectly lubricated, helping to reduce friction and wear on the chains. This will ultimately extend service life, reduce cost of ownership and improve the overall efficiency while reducing labour and increasing safety of the production line. 

ALS Features

• Latest engineering polymer materials

• Available in 2kg, 4kg 8kg and larger sizes depending on requirements

• Maximum high pressure of 280Bar (4,200psi)

• Reservoir low level alarm standard and other monitoring options available

Originally designed over a decade ago with a recent pump station upgrade, this boasts manufacturing from the latest engineering polymer materials. It’s lighter, stronger and more durable than ever. With its elimination of manual lubrication, no more time will be wasted on servicing grease points, improving work productivity.

Alemlube’s ALS is a highly versatile solution which makes it desirable addition to your mobile and fixed plant. As well as being used on food and beverage packaging chains, it can also be used on trucks, trailers, wheel loaders, excavators, mini skid steers, front, side and rear loaders, AG sprayers, hay bailers, waste recycling plants, conveyors and crushers, making it the perfect all-rounder.

As well as time saving factors, another benefit of using Alemlube’s ALS for chain applications is it helps to reduce maintenance costs. This ensures less money needs to be spent on maintenance and repairs, completely accelerating the potential profit margins of the user.
