Following hot on the heels of a successful turnkey lubrication solution recently supplied by SKF South Africa’s Authorised Distributor, Bearing Services Springs, to a leading building materials manufacturing company, the customer took the decision to completely change over to SKF pulleys, belts and grease.
During an on-site CNA-Lubrication Audit at the customer’s Alrode plant, Johannesburg South, earlier this year, Bearing Services Springs noticed a few lubrication issues. It was revealed that lubrication was not being carried out reliably and that up to nine different types of grease were being used. After a valuable detailed report was compiled and presented through to the customer with solution driven recommendations after the CNA-Lubrication Audit was completed, the customer recognising the long-term cost-saving benefits, requested a grease conversion to SKF LGHQ 2 grease and to install System 24 LAGD 125/WA2 lubricators on all their critical lubrication points. “A quick response from the Bearings Service Springs team has ensured that lubrication is now carried out correctly and on time,” explains SKF Product Manager for Maintenance Products, Eddie Martens.
