The Xport™ Perma Flex Single Point Lubricator comes filled with the LE lubricant of your choice, and there are many oil and grease options to choose from.
Incorrect or inadequate lubrication results in equipment damage that can lead to breakdown. In many cases, single-point lubricators are the solution to this problem.
Best Suited For: Challenging applications
Common uses: Pumps, electric motors, roller bearings, sliding bearings and open gears in the food, oil, gas, mining, quarrying and refinery industries
This lubricator is able to function well both indoors and outdoors and its durability makes it a good choice for challenging applications in a wide range of temperatures. In addition to an adjustable discharge period of between one month and one year, its ingress protection produces consistent lubrication in even very dusty and moist contexts. There are two sizes available, 60 and 125 cc (2.03 and 4.23 fl oz) and it can be installed in hard-to-reach, compact spots.
Simple installation
The Xport™ Flex Lubricator requires little set up and can be activated by adjusting the component to reflect the desired discharge period. This rate can also be adjusted after installation and paused for longer periods when required. An internal, electronically controlled chemical reaction establishes the required pressure to dispense the lubricant at the correct rate.
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.

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
Lubrication management has grown more sophisticated in recent years, with plants having access to better products, smarter monitoring tools and more advanced storage and dispensing systems. Yet equipment failure rates linked to lubrication problems remain stubbornly high. According to Colin Ford, Managing Director of Lubrication Engineers (LE) South Africa, the reason for this is that technology can only
