An alternative to manual lubrication Trico Single point lubricators are a storage device designed to slowly dispense grease to the point of lubrication, typically a bearing, over a period of time. These devices are usually mounted in the port that a Zerk fitting occupies. They may be driven mechanically, electrically, pneumatically or by a chemical reaction process.
Typically, the user sets the dispense rate to meet the requirements of the bearing based upon its size, type, speed. Trico offers now three different types of single point grease lubricators Trico also have a large range of Closed System Oilers and ancillary equipment as well as Mist Lubrication Systems.
Trico Streamliner® grease dispensers apply a precise flow of grease to critical machine parts. A cost effective alternative, the grease dispensers are ideal for industries where high volumes of moisture, accelerated temperatures and contamination are present.
Streamliner® V Grease Dispensers are designed for applications where it is essential to have precise amounts of grease delivered to critical machine parts and are a cost-effective alternative to fully integrated lube systems or manual lubrication.
The Streamliner® M series has a battery operated timer that activates a motor attached through a small gearbox to drive a cam that drives a piston pump while ejecting a fixed amount of grease. When used with Trico’s distribution block a single unit can lubricate up to eight lubrication points.
The Trico Opto-Matic® Constant Level Oiler is available with Glass or Plastic reservoirs and is used to maintain accurate oil levels in machine bearing and sump housings. Stainless steel models are available to provide long life in corrosive environments.
LCL large capacity oilers provide a constant level of oil in a pump bearing housing, gear box, or other oil sump applications. They operate on the same principle as the Opto-Matic oilers and are used in applications requiring a large reservoir capacity.
The Trico Opto-Matic Closed System Oiler is designed for all types of equipment where a constant level in a housing must be maintained. The closed system design prevents contamination and spillage.
Designed for bearing housings, gear boxes, and other oil sump lubrication applications, the viewport provides visual indication of lubricant level and condition. Mounted on the centreline of the desired oil level, these constant level oilers do not require any adjustment or level setting.
The MD-1200 Micro-Drop Dispenser provides a cost effective solution when flood cooling is impractical or unavailable. When used in milling, tapping, and sawing applications, the MD-1200 dispenses small amounts of Micro-Drop Synthetic or Vegetable based lubricant.
An important consideration in the mining market is effective equipment lubrication. Correct lubrication not only reduces wear, but also acts to purge the pins and bushings of contamination.
Today's farmers face many challenges, including the protection of their machinery in the harsh environment in which it operates. Lubrication management is a must to ensure safety and productivity.
Moisture, temperature changes, product spillage and washdown practices all contribute to reduced bearing life which, in turn, can lead to reduced levels of productivity.
Consistency and reliability in ink supply are vital ingredients in any printing operation. The automation of lubrication management ensures presses operate in optimum condition.
Fleet operations and transportation companies are constantly under pressure to save money, increase productivity and make every investment in commercial vehicles last longer.
Lubrication Management provides considerable benefits to a number of industries. These include Stevedoring, Wind Farming, Railways, plus many more...
