This can vary depending on your specific application, but the best way to determine this is by reviewing your past usage and the frequency of previous orders. Tracking this data over time will help ensure you’re ordering the right amount to keep your system running smoothly.
When should I re-order lubricant?
We recommend placing a reorder when you have your last two pails in stock and your main tank is full. This helps ensure you never run out of lubricant and prevents the risk of running your line in a dry condition.
What are the most common lubricant types for overhead conveyors?
There are several lubricant options available, but the best choice depends on several factors. At Digilube, we commonly recommend CleanLUBE and the Ultra-Film line, which are versatile enough to perform across a wide range of applications.
We typically avoid recommending lubricants with molybdenum or graphite unless absolutely necessary. These additives can cause buildup and residue issues, and we pride ourselves on offering cleaner, more efficient solutions.
What types of lubricants are best for high-temp environments?
We recommend Digilube’s specially formulated lubricants: CleanLUBE, Ultra Film 1, Ultra Film 2, and Ultra Film 2 HLM for heavy load operations. These lubricants are designed to withstand extreme heat while providing optimal protection and performance for overhead conveyor systems.
How often should I lubricate my overhead conveyor equipment?
For lines running at around 400°F, lubrication is typically done once a day. However, the ideal frequency can vary depending on factors like line speed, oven time, and washer process. Finding the right lubrication interval usually involves some fine-tuning and takes about 2 to 3 weeks to dial in from the initial starting point.
