Customer Success Story
Increased Safety, Less Effort, Easy Installation
Slaked lime is produced at Visayas Slaked Lime Corporation‘s (VSLC) plant in the Philippines. To ensure proper and reliable lubrication of the numerous fans and blowers in the dusty environment, VSLC switched from a manual to an automatic lubrication solution. With the CONCEPT1 gas-driven automatic lubricators, the company will reduce maintenance efforts in the future, protect its employees and therefore be more sustainable.
Benefits
Integrity of grease is maintained with no penetration of impurities during relubrication
Longer bearing life in fans and blowers with reliable preset time intervals
Enhanced safety with less human deployment in hard-to-reach locations
Increase in productivity of the Maintenance Team with elimination of manual lubrication Sustainable – lubrication cartridges can be refilled up to three times

What’s Special
VSLC is very satisfied with the lubrication solution and has fitted a further 50 lubrication points with CONCEPT 1 as a first step. Another 50 lubrication points for motors will soon be installed with automatic lubricators.
How CONCEPT1 Works
Screw into place, set the time interval, and you’re ready to go! The CONCEPT1 is ready for immediate use and can be installed easily and without the need for special tools. The lubricator can be filled with lubricants a total of three times. This significantly reduces the amount of waste and the ecological footprint. The flexible and cost-effective solution is particularly suitable for machines that are difficult to access and, thanks to ATEX certification, can also be used in potentially explosive atmospheres. By the way – The cartridge can be filled with other lubricants. Contact Schaeffler for more information.
