Weir Minerals’ Accumin Lubricators automatically grease mining equipment in regular intervals to reduce downtime and extend the part life. Accumin lubricators use a battery-operated drive unit, which can be set to dispense consistent amounts of lubricant every few hours, weeks or months and can be monitored by their LCD display, LED alert system or the transparent grease cartridges. “The Accumin lubrication system provides an automated solution to the old-fashioned process of manual lubrication with a grease gun,” Michael Roinich, Accumin product specialist at Weir Minerals, told CIM Magazine. “This reduces the number of interactions with equipment, [limiting] the exposure to safety hazards and freeing up labour for other more critical tasks.” Accumin Lubricators are available in three sizes and two drive configurations, and can be used on equipment such as pumps, valves, crushers and more.
