Automatic lubricators... less breakdowns, less maintenance

Eliminate manual lubrication

Automatic lubricators remove the need for manual lubrication by grease gun or any other cumbersome applicator. They reduce valuable maintenance team hours. Staff need only inspect the point rather than grease it to ensure all is in working order. Time saved can be spent elsewhere on more pressing jobs. It's like suddenly having more people on your maintenance team without the extra cost.

Eliminate contamination

Automatic lubricators operate providing a constant positive pressure to the bearing/seal, which all but eliminates the ingress of dirt. The closed system also means that contamination on the outside of the grease nipple cannot be transferred from point to point.

Ensure greasing points are not missed

Sometimes even the most experienced maintenance person might miss a grease point... it might be a critical one! With automatic lubricators on site, this won't happen. Plus you have the added peace of mind the correct amount of grease has been applied.

Wear and tear of equipment

Manual greasing once per day / week generally means a large injection of lubricant to a point. It is a proven fact that consistent greasing of a point keeps friction levels down (lower temperature) and increases component life. This will result in improved running time of your equipment. This then becomes your insurance policy against breakdowns and profit robbing maintenance costs.

Easier and safer for your maintenance crew

Thanks to remote mounting and quick connections, automatic lubricators can reach difficult to get to grease points simpler and safer for your maintenance crew. They won't hurt themselves stretching to reach a difficult spot, nor will they 'skip' it because it's too hard to reach.

Suit just about any application

Most automatic lubricators operate throughout a wide range of ambient temperatures, so they're suitable for just about any application where regular greasing is essential to smooth operation.

Why is Simalube the best?

Swiss-made Simalube Automatic lubricators offer many unique features that will benefit your operation. Here are a few of the major advantages:

Fully adjustable clock

Only Simalube gives you the choice of increasing or decreasing the grease f low rate by simply rotating the clock dial with an Allen key. You can even turn it off during maintenance shutdowns. Other gas driven lubricators have a fixed dispensing speed and duration, offering you no f lexibilit y, so they cost more to operate.

Improved transparent housing

The current Simalube range comes in a patented transparent housing which is superior to others available on the market. It prevents gas diffusion through the walls of the housing, making Simalube more efficient and reliable than ever. Windows allow easy checking and marking of grease levels.

More pressure

In the New Generation of Simalube automatic lubricators, the pressure achieved through our patented gas-producing dry cells has been increased to 70 PSI. This is more than our previous models delivered and higher than most available on the market, ensuring that Simalube will get grease to most lubrication points.

Patented gas producing dry cells

Most competitors offer grease pressure systems driven by dangerous chemicals and acids. Simalube's patented gas producing dry cells are completely safe, harmless and are approved. With other systems, acids and chemicals remain in the container after the grease has been expelled. This is potentially harmful and dangerous to the environment.

Wider temperature application range

If you're operating in remote parts of Australia, high temperatures are common. Simalube operates in ambient temperatures up to 55 degrees Celsius and down to -20 degrees Celsius; they even operate under water if necessary. Chemically driven units have maximum operating temperatures of only 400.

Widest range of accessories

No one offers the variet y of accessories to suit just about any and every application imaginable like Simalube does. Have a look at our website at www.etsaustralia.com.au and you'll see what we mean.

Wide range of sizes to suit any application

Simalube is now available in four sizes; 30, 60, 125 and 250ml. Whatever your automatic lubrication needs, there is a size to suit. If you require even more grease volume, our 4-fold adaptor will grow your supply to 1,000ml.

Tried and proven around the world

For many years now, plant operators and maintenance engineers have been discovering Simalube's cost and time saving benefits. They are economical, reliable, long lasting and safe for an ever-increasing list of applications. Literally millions have been sold world-wide.
