LubeSite 560 automatic grease feeder is used to lubricate bearing housing at intervals to prevent downtime and reduce manpower. The unit uses silver, red or blue springs for normal, high-tension or low-tension applications, respectively.
Features:
- Comes with a nickel-chrome plated base designed for applications where corrosion resistance is required, such as chemical and food processing.
- Features a large grease reservoir that allows operation in remote locations or applications where continuous purging of the bearing is required.
- Utilises Venturi mechanism to regulate the amount of grease fed, eliminating the danger of blowing bearing seals.
- Comes with a large reservoir that ensures a steady supply of fresh & recycled lubricant to allow smooth movement of the moving components.
- Unit utilises NLGI grade 0 to 4 non-separating grease that reduces sliding and rolling friction and distributes the motion uniformly.
- Features graduated channels on the metering rod to adjust the flow of the lubricant.
- Incorporated with a spring-loaded plunger that helps in dispensing the grease at a defined pressure range of 1 to 5 PSI.
