The Benefits of Automatic Lubrication Systems

Based in Malvern, Pennsylvania, Airmatic Inc. is a firm which provides its customers with wholesale distribution services for industrial machinery and equipment. Through its materials management group, Airmatic Inc. also engineers products like automatic lubrication systems.

The Benefits of Automatic Lubrication Systems

An automatic lubrication system supplies machine bearings with lubricants like oil and grease in controlled intervals. Unlike their manual counterparts, the automatic systems do not require machine downtime in order to apply the lubricant where it is required. Additionally, automatic systems allow for a reduction in the incidence of the cross-contamination that occurs when different types of lubricants are unintentionally mixed together.

The Benefits of Automatic Lubrication Systems

Further benefits of automatic lubrication systems include the ability of the system to inject precisely the correct amount of oil or grease needed by bearings at the right time, resulting in a cost savings on lubricants. This function also reduces the likelihood that a bearing will operate without adequate lubricant for a prolonged period of time due to poor manual maintenance practices. This can help significantly extend the life of machines.
