The Xport® Star Vario is an adjustable automatic lubrication system designed to deliver consistent lubrication to critical equipment components. Its LCD display makes it easy to adjust settings and control lubricant discharge. This precision lubrication control system helps improve equipment reliability while reducing maintenance requirements.
Making it best suited for: Precise discharge
Recommended product: Xport™ Star Vario Lubricator
Common uses: Gear racks, shaft seals, electric motors, chains, roller bearings, sliding bearings, open gears, sliding guides and spindles in the food, paper, oil, gas, environmental technology and pharmaceutical sectors.
Where equipment components require a precise supply of lubrication, an automatic single-point lubricator provides a reliable solution. The Xport® Star Vario features an LCD display that allows users to easily view and adjust discharge volumes and lubrication intervals. When correctly assembled, the unit offers protection against water and dust, making it a popular choice for electric motors and other equipment with demanding re-lubrication requirements.
Once the initial lubricant is finished, the system’s drive unit can be re-used alongside a refill unit, which includes a new lubricant cartridge.
The components of the system are:
Industrial baking equipment operates under intense conditions. Inside a proving chamber, temperatures of around 38°C combined with humidity of between 85% and 100% create conditions that can cause an ordinary lubricant to fail within days. Lubrication Engineers (LE) South Africa recently worked with a bakery to more effectively lubricate its
When industrial operations evaluate lubricant costs, the focus often falls on the price per drum, cartridge or container. Yet this purchase price represents only a fraction of what lubrication ultimately costs a business. The far bigger financial impact lies in how well a lubricant protects equipment, how long it lasts in service and the role it plays in
Mining is one of the harshest operating environments for any piece of machinery. Dust, shock loading, moisture and extreme mechanical demands place equipment in mining operations under near-constant stress. However, when machinery fails, lubrication is often one of the last things that is looked at, even though it is often at the root of the problem. Llewellyn Owen, New Business Development Manager (Coastal) at
At an industrial plant, lubrication is not always top of mind – until something breaks. Unfortunately, by then the damage is done. Sam Kekana, Technical Sales Representative at Lubrication Engineers (LE) South Africa, has spent years working with plant maintenance teams across a range of industries, and he has seen where lubrication goes wrong and what it costs companies when
