INFOMERCIAL PERMA
perma; a world leader in single point lubrication
As the world market leader in the field of single-point lubrication, perma has an outstanding reputation for innovative and reliable lubrication solutions of excellent quality. To understand more about its products, services and market activities in Africa, Lubezine had an interview with Dr. Abassin Aryobsei, CEO at perma GmbH & Co. KG in Euerdorf, Germany.
What are automatic lubrication systems, how do they work and what are the different types available? Automatic lubrication systems enable consistent and controlled lubrication without the need for manual intervention. This precise discharge of lubricants, such as oil and grease, reduces friction and wear and extends component life. perma mainly offers two different types of lubrication systems: electrochemical and electromechanical. Electrochemical lubrication systems work by means of an electrochemical reaction. A built-in gas generator creates a pressure inside the lubrication system which moves a piston forward and thus supplies the lubrication point with lubricant. Electromechanical lubrication systems operate with battery or external power. Depending on the application, they discharge lubricants in regular, adjustable cycles and quantities, e.g. to bearings, sliding guides, gears and shafts.
What are some of the lubrication systems you have? Our focus product is the perma STAR VARIO. The system consists of an electromechanical drive, a so-called LC (lubricant cartridge), filled with 60, 120, 250 or 500 cm³ of lubricant and a battery pack. Via a set button, the discharge period can be set to 1 - 26 weeks or 1 - 24 months (depending on LC size), visible via the LCD display. LED lights indicate the current operating status of the perma STAR VARIO at any time and can be seen from a longer distance. Due to a pressure build-up of 7.5 bar, perma STAR VARIO is ideally suited for the lubrication of electric motors. Furthermore, the option of remote installation by using a hose up to 5 meters contributes to higher workplace safety. In the field of electrochemical lubrication systems, our perma NOVA deserves special mention. It is the first electrochemical lubrication system that automatically adapts to the ambient temperature due to a built-in temperature sensor, thus ensuring constant and reliable lubricant discharge. With its EX-protection approval and IP65 protection class, the perma NOVA is ideally suited for use in mining or the cement industry.
What markets do you serve in Africa? In Africa, we are currently mainly serving the South African market. Nevertheless, we have been able to expand our market coverage in the last two years. Meanwhile, perma has authorized distributors in South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Egypt and others. Due to the great development opportunities on the
