FUCHS Automatic Lubrication: More Efficiency, Less Costs

FUCHS' single-point lubrication systems, STAR VARIO and FLEX, are the ideal solution for ensuring precise and continuous lubrication, reducing failures and maximizing the useful life of your equipment. With automatic lubricant application, downtime is minimized, maintenance costs decrease and worker safety increases, eliminating the risk of manual application.

In addition, these systems ensure homogeneous and hygienic lubrication, preventing leaks, spills and product contamination. With different models adaptable to your needs, FUCHS simplifies the maintenance of your equipment, guaranteeing maximum reliability and performance.

FUCHS single-point lubrication systems are programmable devices that apply lubricant (grease or oil) automatically, allowing the equipment to continue running during lubrication, thus reducing downtime.

Investing in automatic lubricators has a direct impact on reducing long-term maintenance costs by optimizing lubricant release. In addition, these devices eliminate the cost and risk of manually applying grease to different pieces of equipment at regular intervals. These devices also make it possible to improve hygienic design guidelines, as they provide clean lubrication, preventing leaks and spills that can contaminate products and deteriorate the working environment. It is also important to note that automated lubrication protects against contaminants, such as water, dirt or dust, which can enter through the lubrication points, thus extending the life of the equipment.

There are two main models: the FUCHS STAR VARIO and the FUCHS FLEX. The STAR VARIO has an electromechanical system with 60 cm³, 120 cm³ or 250 cm³ lubricant cartridges, operating precisely regardless of temperature or pressure. FLEX is a compact system that uses an electronically controlled chemical reaction to provide continuous lubrication, available in 60 cm³ and 125 cm³ sizes.

In summary, automatic single-point lubricators simplify the lubrication of equipment and provide a level of homogeneity, resulting in benefits such as:

• Reduced maintenance costs
• Improved labor efficiency and cost savings
• Greater safety for personnel during maintenance tasks
• Reduced equipment downtime
• Increased equipment durability
• Optimum, even lubrication guaranteed
• Reliable lubrication, without the possibility of human error in manual application
• Reduced waste

In addition, accessories and remote installation kits are available to facilitate installation in hard-to-reach or dangerous areas. To achieve all these benefits, FUCHS offers a wide range of ready-to-use greases for STAR VARIO and FLEX systems.
