We fitted new Lincoln pumps to the zinc flotation tanks at Tara Mines. The installation will automatically lubricate 96 grease points with a pre determined grease quanity. There are 2 Lincoln P203 pump units, with 8kg grease reservoirs and integrated timers. The pumps have an add-on alarm system to give a warning signal to the control room in the event of a fault.

 

Also for Tara Mines we have installed Lincoln 215 pumps to all their underground crushers. The crushers are vital pieces of plant and bearing failure can cause tens of thousands of Euros in repair costs. These Lincoln pumps are running constantly and distribute a pre determined quantity to each bearing while the plant is operating. In this case the 215 reservoir holds 30kg of Grease.

Turmec engineering are a leading producer of recycling equipment. In the recent past we have completed numerous installations to items of recycling plant and equipment. The installations have taken place throughout the country in various large recycling facilities and have ranged from six points on a single recycling
Trommell to a hundred points on a complete plant.

Gypsum Industries in Kingscourt are a firm believer in Lincoln equipment as well as our services. We have recently installed several Quiklube systems to the new crushing equipment at the reopened Drummond mine.

Wyeth Medica in Newbridge were experiencing bearing failure in their massive cooling fans, the failure was occurring because the fans could not be shut down for lubrication purposes. Having completed several other successful projects  for Wyeth we were called in to propose a solution to their problem. Each of their 11 cooling towers are now fitted with a Lincoln pumped lubrication system and Wyeth can expect to save €0000’s over the coming years.

A recent problem at Kepaks burger manufacturing plant in Glasnevin was overcome by the installation of an automated lubrication system. Their Formax machines, which mold the burgers were wearing out a brass sliding block every 6 weeks. The repair meant that the machine had to be taken out of a busy production schedule. By installing a centralized lubrication system to the machine and using specialized lubricant, the part now lasts approximately six times longer.

We have used Lincoln Automatic Lubrication Systems on our Volvo Loaders and Excavators for over 15 years. Experience has proven that fitting the system to a loader or Excavator will serve to enhance the overall production and reliability of the machine. This in turn saves our customers a great deal of money in excessive labour and parts costs, and most importantly downtime.

Typically pins and bushes can last up to 3 times longer when the machine is fitted with the Lube system and machines coming back to us for trade in will inevitably have less worn parts and therefore be worth more to the customer and cost us less to prepare for resale.

Installation and service is efficiently undertaken by HLS and their partners nationwide.

Lincoln Automated lubrication systems are specified on all our Heavy mobile plant at time of ordering.
Our machines are operating in the most arduous of conditions, for long shifts and with little daily downtime for service or manual lubrication duties. Pin and bush replacement in these large machines is costly and takes time. Since specifying Lincoln quicklub systems in the mid 90’s we immediately identified a reduction in component wear and failure. The fact that the machines are being lubricated at regular intervals throughout the shift purges the bearings of water and contamination, thereby extending the service life considerably.

Over the years we have found HLS to be very efficient from initial installation to after-service and parts supply.

We have been working with HLS since the late 90’s. We had identified crucial lubrication issues at our manufacturing plant, which in turn were leading to costly failures and downtime.

A phased introduction of Automated lubrication systems was decided upon and to date we have over 300 items of plant connected to Lincoln systems. Immediately, the advantages of the system became apparent. Bearing failure fell dramatically and we were also able to register major reductions in noise and even power consumption.

For preventive maintaince purposes HLS are contracted to service each system on a quarterly basis.
We would recommend the Lincoln product and HLS as a cost effective means to manage and lower lubrication costs.

We initially installed a Lincoln P203 grease pump to one of our Cat wheel loaders and following on from that we have installed the system to several other loaders and have also installed the system to most of our manufacturing plant.

Bearing, sprocket and chain replacement in our plant has reduced by at least 75% as a direct result of installing the lubrication system. These savings alone would have recouped the initial investment within a couple of years.

Having HLS fit lubrication systems to our loaders has been a very worthwhile investment for us. We bought a new JCB 412 Loader in 2005, the same loader was traded in two and a half years later with over 5000 hours on the clock, during that time there was no sign of any wear to the pins and bushes, which made it an attractive trade in option for the dealer.

Lincoln Automated Lubrication Products are extensively used on our machinery in all our locations nationwide. HLS have a proven track record with us for prompt and efficient service, a factor which has enabled us to increase the uptime of our equipment and so help meet our production targets.

The efficiency of any mechanical machine, be it mobile or fixed plant, relies heavily on adequate lubrication. A proper lubrication schedule coupled with Lincoln Automated systems is a cost effective means for us to reduce component wear, breakdown time and unscheduled repairs.
