Multi-line system
The multi-line system is a robust option that guarantees exceptional performance under various conditions. high pressure and extreme temperatures. Its operation is based on a progressive principle, where the lubricant is delivered to the lubrication points by means of pressure-driven pistons, which allows operation to be maintained even in situations of high back pressure.
This system is easy to control and maintain, ensuring precise lubricant dosage throughout the wind turbine's lifespan.
Progressive system
The progressive system Quicklub It is ideal for the most demanding equipment. Designed to meet the most restrictive lubrication requirements, its reliability lies in the progressive delivery of lubricant by means of pressure-activated pistons.
Lubrication occurs in regulated intervals, and its operation adapts to up to three independent circuits. Quicklub It is an affordable, high-quality option that ensures the performance and longevity of wind turbine systems.
Automatic fat recovery (AGR)
He automatic fat recovery system (AGR) is an innovation that improves efficiency and reduces environmental impact. It allows the grease leaking from bearings to be collected and sent to a centralized container, eliminating the need for traditional plastic bottles.
This system helps maintain constant pressure within the bearings and ensures continuous lubrication, even under the most extreme conditions. It has a lifespan exceeding 30 years, and annual maintenance is simple and inexpensive.
