African continent, we are continuously working with our young and dynamic team to further expand our footprint on the African market.
What benefits do clients get from using your lubrica- tion systems?
One of the advantages of perma automatic lubrication systems is that they can be easily changed by hand. This significantly simplifies the lubrication of equipment, as no special tools are required. The
possibility of using grease lines up to 5 meters allows the lubrication outside of hazardous areas, which reduces the risk of accidents by up to 90%. Due to the fact that our products are self-contained systems and that they discharge the exact required amount of grease, perma lubrication systems also make an active contribution to the protection of our environment by avoiding unnecessarily large lubricant amounts. The continuous supply of fresh, clean lubricant to lubrication points also increases equipment availability by preventing unnecessary downtime due to improper lubrication, resulting in higher productivity.
What are the maintenance benefits of using these lubrication systems?
Automatic lubrication with perma significantly extends maintenance intervals and lubrication periods. With the help of perma lubrication systems, roller bearing failures due to improper lubrication (over- or under-lubrication) can be reduced by up to 75%. The extension of lubrication intervals allows maintenance staff to attend to other important tasks. Due to the individual setting options as well as the possibility of selecting customer-specific lubricants, our systems can be adapted to the needs of individual machines or applications. This allows us to exactly match machine manufacturers’ specifications. At the same time, maintenance costs are reduced by up to 25%.
Can the lubrication systems be integrated with predictive maintenance techniques? The perma CONNECT APP facilitates the creation of digital lubrication and maintenance plans which can then be shared with the responsible employees via the app or the desktop version. Once a lubrication system is saved in the app, the operator obtains an overview of the specific installation locations and corresponding configurations of all saved lubrication systems. Furthermore, perma CONNECT reminds the end-user in a timely manner when a lubrication system or LC unit needs to be changed. Our Bluetooth-enabled lubrication systems perma STAR VARIO Bluetooth and perma ULTRA can also be controlled and their status monitored via the app. In addition to this digital solution, our perma STAR CONTROL has the option of being connected to a PLC via cable. Using IMPULSE mode, the lubrication system can thus receive the command directly from the application.
Which complementary lubrication tools and services do you offer? Apart from the perma CONNECT APP, which helps to create a digital lubrication plan, perma’s portfolio also includes the SELECT APP. This tool enables the end-user to define the required lubrication amount and setting of perma lubrication systems under consideration of the operating conditions. Furthermore, perma offers trainings through the perma ACADEMY for service staff and customers on the correct handling of our lubrication systems and the basics of automatic lubrication. These trainings are conducted online, on-site, or at our headquarters in Euerdorf. By leveraging our experts’ comprehensive knowledge across diverse industries, we are able to address the specific requirements of our customers.
