This equipment can be used to form an excellent system and can be retrofitted to existing paper machines when rebuilding the lubrication system. It is also suitable for use with the system.

By connecting to the control mechanism of the paper machine, it can provide excellent facilities, including:

Control and monitor system pressure and temperature

Filter monitoring

Oil level monitoring

Monitoring of oil flow at individual lubrication points

Oil temperature monitoring in different parts of the machine

A major strength of the control system is the modern display technology used to provide maintenance engineers with the same general monitoring and control capabilities typically found in factory process control systems. These displays allow potential faults to be identified productively and enable operators to take implementing measures faster than would otherwise be the case.

The control system enables fully automatic start-up of the oil lubrication system. This circumvents the cold start lubrication system (which is a largerDry thin oil lubricationsystems) normally required for optical monitoring and manual adjustment without spilling cold, high-viscosity oil from the bearing housing. Automatic on-site control valves in the system allow the process to be completed step by step.

Improved oil flow monitoring

Monitoring has traditionally used optical methods such as sight glasses or oil gauges. Over the past decade, hydraulic rotameter meters have evolved into reliable, easy-to-operate devices. However, they cannot accurately pinpoint individual faults or provide the type of detailed information needed to prevent a shutdown.
