Welcome, we are the New Zealand distributors for Rotalube Systems
Rotalube® is a unique range of patented industrial chain lubrication systems that involve applying accurate amounts of lubricant to roller chain and conveyor chain; it delivers lube to exactly the right part of the chain at exactly the right time, every time. The performance of Rotalube® automated chain lubrication is not affected by speed fluctuations or indexing.
A truly simple and effective solution to extending chain life, whatever the size of chain there is a Rotalube® solution.
- Reduces environmental contamination
- Reduces lubricant consumption
- Increases chain life
- Reduces System power consumption
- Reduces downtime
Applications
Food quality lubricants suitable for penetrating chain with good lubricating properties in the working conditions that are suitable for Centralised Lubrication Systems – Rotalube Systems.
Lubricant considerations
•Temperatures
•Penetrants
•Protective properties
Rotalube installed an automatic lubrication system a few years ago to lubricate two 7” Pitch Chains on a Spooner Oven. The oven operates 24/7 and operates at a maximum temperature of 265 Deg C (482 Deg F).
The chain is still in operation today and the ROI (Return On Investment) was achieved in the first year.
The existing method of lubricating the chains was replaced with five key main objectives
- Reduce lubricant consumption
- Keep the Amps to a minimum and a constant
- Increase the life of the chain
- Safety
- Increase Up Time
All of the above points have been quantified time and time again using Rotalube and now this system is the preferred method of lubrication for many end users and OEM`s.
Rotalube will apply small accurate amounts of oil onto the chain exactly at the right time in the right place, irrespective of chain speed or chain stretch.
Heavy duty use in challenging conditions like those found in cement production, means that chains need to be kept in optimum condition enabling longer replacement intervals and lower consumption of oil and energy. Poor lubrication is a main cause for conveyors underperforming in those situations.
Well-lubricated chains however, run smoother, reducing the energy required to drive them with the added bonus of a considerable reduction in noise. The less friction involved decreases chain wear and wear on the associated components for less downtime and a longer service life. Additionally, well-lubricated chain increases the service intervals.
A RotaLube® system was installed on 12” pitch chain in a circular reclaimer at a cement plant several years ago in the UK. The customer has reported a reduced oil consumption of up to 7000 litres a year, equating to an annual saving of almost £10,000 in lubricant costs.
The service life of the reclaimer chain itself has also been extended, which by the end of 2020 had generated a cost saving of £60,000 meaning the entire system paid for itself in just two and a half months.
