Turn Complexity Into Simplicity
The job of a maintenance manager is complex. And part of that complexity comes from tasks maintenance managers wish they could cut out of their daily routines – but can’t. Not till now at least. Combining all the benefits of automatic lubrication with award-winning smart technology: the OPTIME C1 is the world’s first truly smart lubricator and eliminates tasks such as lubricating by hand or having to manually check on many lubrication points.
Simplifying machine and bearing lubrication for the process industry
Did you know that 74% of all lubrication points in the process industry are still manually lubricated – making machine maintenance complex and time consuming?
Discover the benefits
Enjoy the certainty that your machines are being lubricated correctly, and therefore, running as they should.
From less waste to more sustainability
With it comes to modern processing plants, cutting waste is an essential step to reducing costs – and minimizing your carbon footprint.
With the OPTIME C1, you can reduce lubricant waste in your plants by up to 60% and the scrap rate caused by unplanned downtime.
The smart lubricator also offers energy savings of up to 3% by reducing friction caused by improper lubrication.
In the long run, the optimal lubrication offered by this smart lubrication system also improves the overall lifetime of your bearings and machines.
