Greasing of sealing prechamber
Grease nipples
Fig.
"Gear oil change"
Grease nipples are primarily used for long-fibred media. They can be retrofitted upon request.
The sealing prechamber can be lubricated via the grease nipples. Lubrication prevents the fibrous matter
from hardening and impairing the function of the mechanical seal.
ATTENTION
•
A regular
lubrication interval
prevents the lubrication channel from clogging.
•
To ensure effective distribution of the lubricant, always lubricate while the machine is running and not
when it is stationary.
