Chain lubrication on agricultural machines

During harvesting season, farmers focus on the task at hand. They do not want distractions – such as whether their baling machine will last the duration of the harvest. By reducing chain wear, automatic lubrication systems lessen the chance of downtime. Compared to manual chain lubrication, continuous lubrication can deliver a five-fold increase in reliability and service life.

The harsh conditions during harvesting and baling, such as dust, moisture and vibration, continuously stress all machine elements, specifically the chains. Continuous lubrication is vital for chain life.

Automatic chain lubrication systems remove the need for manual lubrication. As well as freeing up time, this improves safety – as lubricating chains manually can be hazardous. In addition, the accuracy of automatic lubrication can help to reduce overall lubricant costs. The mechanically driven system is available as a pre-configured kit. It is easy to select and install – a cost-effective way of raising operational efficiency.
