A survey carried out by one of the leading lubrication system companies has brought to light some shocking facts.

According to the survey, companies utilize the best technology that money can buy for their assembly line. But when it comes to installing a centralized automated lubrication system, they opt for an 'ordinary' product. The cost cutting methodology comes into play and the very effectiveness of the line is compromised.

The survey also reveals that the lubrication systems used by almost 42% of companies in America are not up to the snuff. Is your company amongst them? Have you opted for a substandard product that not only reduces the efficiency of your production line but also endangers the lives of your employees?

If you are hoping that no untoward incidents will occur, then maybe it's time to wake up and smell the coffee.

Preventive maintenance

I am sure that you have heard this term before. It is quite similar to the quote 'Prevention is better than cure'. A clogged assembly line can stall production for 48 hours. Why would you want to hamper your production line for as many as 24 to 48 hours when you can prevent the clogging with a high end conveyor lubrication system?

Here's a brief look at some of the lubrication system technologies in the market today.

* You can utilize a lubrication system that allows you to lubricate up to 30 lubrication points and control it from one central location. You can also lubricate the chains in fractional increments.
* The completely automated system compensates automatically for the change in conveyor line speed.
* The refill mechanism is situated at an easy-to-access level as opposed to some crude mechanisms which require you to use a ladder to refill the lubricants tank.
* Not only do these systems maintain your assembly line in pristine condition, but they themselves are easy to maintain.
