Lubrication systems for special applications
At RIVI we develop lubrication solutions specifically designed to solve the most demanding challenges of modern industry. We know that not all applications can be addressed with standard solutions. That's why our lubrication systems for special applications are designed to precisely adapt to extreme environments, complex movements and very specific technical requirements.
Each system we design combines innovation, reliability and efficiency operational. Our commitment is not just to offer a product, but to ensure that every customer improves their productivity, reduces their maintenance costs and protects their critical machinery.
Open gear lubrication system
Lubrication by primer pinion
Our system of primer pinion applies the grease directly onto the gear teeth by means of a synchronised mechanism.
This method ensures a constant and uniform lubricant film during movement, reducing friction, heating and the risk of mechanical failure.
Unlike manual methods or drip system, this system works in the following way automated, efficient and safe. It is the ideal solution for rotary kilns, mills or large rotary equipment with low to moderate speeds (exclusively for the cement industry).
Implementing this technology is a strategic decision that directly impacts the reliability and continuity of your operation.
Lubrication system for chain conveyors
In intensive production lines, the chain conveyors are essential elements. Their correct lubrication has a direct impact on the overall performance of the system. RIVI designs lubrication systems that act precisely on each link and roller, minimising wear and ensuring uninterrupted operation.
Chain Conveyor Lubrication: Cobra/GVP
The system Cobra/GVP has been developed to apply lubricant exactly where it is needed, on the move and without the need to stop the conveyor. It is an automated solution, adaptable to multiple configurations and capable of working in harsh environments., The company is also active in the automotive industry (paint booths) and the steel industry. Thanks to the Cobra/GVP technology, it is possible to greasing chain conveyors in operation, prevent premature breakages and reduce downtime.Moreover, integration into existing lines is fast and safe, allowing immediate results without compromising production.
Manual lubrication and tank refilling system for wind turbines
Efficiency in WIND FARMS not only depends on the performance of the generator, but also on operational continuity without unforeseen maintenance. RIVI provides safe and professional solutions for lubrication of wind turbine components, and the refilling of tanks of lubricants at heights or in areas that are difficult to access.
Hyflow and TLeS (Transfer and lubrication electric system) fast filling systems
Our systems Hyflow and TLeS allow the filling of lubricant reservoirs in wind turbine nacelles in a fast, safe and controlled manner.
They are designed to facilitate the operator's work, The use of the product in the process reduces risks and avoids contamination during the process.
Both devices are designed for demanding environments and are perfectly suited to technical protocols in the energy sector.
Choosing these solutions means protecting the performance of your wind farm and significantly reducing maintenance-related incidents.
Lubrication system for steel wire ropes
Wire ropes and cables are vital components in sectors such as the mining, logistics, naval or elevation. Their service life depends to a large extent on thorough and constant lubrication., as they tend to work in extreme environmental conditions.. At RIVI we design systems that fully lubricated the cable for all-round protection.
WRL for cable lubrication
He WRL system allows cables to be lubricated while in operation, without stopping the machinery. Through an enveloping head, the lubricant is applied evenly, displacing moisture, dirt and preventing internal oxidation.
This solution is key for continuous operations where shutting down equipment is costly. It is mainly used in vessels, harbour cranes, and other machinery subject to corrosion. With WRL, you increase operational safety, reduce faults and extend the service life of cables without interrupting your production.
Air-oil lubrication system
When it comes to high speed or precision mechanisms, conventional lubrication may not be sufficient. At RIVI we offer air-oil systems that guarantee constant protection without generating waste or excess.
Air-oil technologies
Our systems mix a micro-dosage of oil with compressed air, This generates a thin lubricating film that is transported to the exact point of application.
With this technology, air is used to transporting the oil to the consumption points. This method is perfect for spindles, high-speed bearings and contamination-sensitive components.
This technology can be apply in:
Implement air-oil technology in your processes means increasing technical reliability, optimising lubricant consumption and reducing wear on key components.
MQL - Micro oil spraying system
This is a very widespread application, where the lubricant used is generally taladrine or other emulsions similar. The purpose is to cool the mechanisms used for the treatment, machining and/or processing of metals, generally referred to as “machine tools”.
The system consists of adding the fluid (water + oil, or similar) at frequent intervals or even continuously, synchronising this dosing with compressed air so that it covers the required surface area. In this case, in addition to lubricating, the aim is to cool.
The oil is transported through a normally flexible pipe, inserted in another pipe of larger diameter (externally concentric), through which it is transported. transports compressed air. This pipe is called “coaxial”. Air and oil are mixed at the outlet, resulting in spraying.
Kilnjet system for treads (kilns and rotary mills)
The conveyor belts in rotary kilns and rotary mills (usually in cement factories) are subjected to high loads, extreme temperatures and constant movement. Our Kilnjet system has been specifically designed to cope effectively with this hostile environment.
Kilnjet applies lubricant to the lubrication points, ensuring a complete coverage without the need to stop the machine (kiln or mill). This results in less wear, better load distribution and a significant reduction in maintenance costs.
It is the professional solution that your plant needs to ensure operational continuity in critical equipment.
Stationary track lubrication systems
In the railway sector, The friction between the wheel and the rail represents a constant technical challenge. Our stationary rail lubrication systems - also known as rail lubricators or rail lubricators - ensure precise and sustainable lubrication at key points in the rail infrastructure.
Choose both our RAAS and RLS systems is to improve efficiency without sacrificing environmental commitment, as they are compatible with friction modifiers and biodegradable greases, and ensure continuous intervention without the need for frequent maintenance. These rail lubricators are essential for preserving rail infrastructure and improving operational performance.
Currently, our stationary systems are technologically the most advanced in the world.
Track lubrication with RLS (railroad lubrication system)
He RLS system apply the lubricant directly to contact areas between the rail and the wheel, especially in curves. This reduces friction between the wheel flange and the track sidewall, prolonging the service life of both components.
There are RLS systems embarked (on board the vehicle) and stationary, The latter are much more effective.
Railroad acoustic attenuation system (RAAS)
He RAAS system applies a so-called “friction modifier” fluid to the tread. This prevents so-called ”undulatory wear” and its consequences (such as squealing when cornering).
There are RAAS systems embarked (on board the vehicle) and stationary, The latter are much more effective.
On-board wheel flange lubrication systems
RIVI offers embedded systems which are integrated directly into the rail vehicle to lubricate the wheel flange according to its position and dynamics. This reduces the wear of the wheel-rail assembly and minimises energy consumption, prolongs the service life of track and wheels, as well as the intervals between maintenance.
They are systems intelligent, programmable and adaptable to passenger trains, trams, metros, freight locomotives, trainsets, railway trucks etc.
They represent a technical investment with direct return in performance, durability, comfort and energy efficiency.
Lubrication of railway electrification catenary (Coplaluber)
The catenary is an essential element in railway electrification, and its wear and tear compromises the stability of the service. At RIVI we develop Coplaluber, a system that precisely and automatically lubricates the contact wire to prevent excessive friction and damage to the pantograph. (available in electric version for autonomous vehicles without active catenary).
As with on-board systems, the catenary lubrication systems are also intelligent, programmable and adaptable to all types of rail vehicles.
Prevention of ice cuffing
Coplaluber avoid, during the cold months, the formation of ice on the catenary of railway electrification, The solution guarantees a clean and stable electrical contact. This solution improves safety, reduces incidents and ensures operational continuity, even in adverse weather conditions.
