    • Abstract:
      This article discusses the importance of proper lubrication for conveyors in mining operations. It highlights that up to 80% of premature bearing failures can be attributed to lubrication problems. The article then focuses on a case study of MVM Mátra Energia Zrt., a power plant in Hungary, and their search for a sustainable lubrication solution for their conveyor systems. They consulted with Schaeffler and EBT Szerviz, who recommended the CONCEPT1 automatic lubricator. The article emphasizes the benefits of this system, including prevention of contamination, extended bearing service life, optimal lubrication, increased safety, and increased sustainability. The article also mentions the use of other Schaeffler lubricators for drum belts and roller bearings. It concludes by discussing the advantages of digital integrated systems for remote lubrication control and feedback, such as reducing costs and preventing damage. The article highlights the OPTIME C1 smart automatic lubricator as an example of such a system, which can be used in various industries. It mentions that Schaeffler uses this solution in their own plant in Germany. The article concludes by mentioning that the CONCEPT1 and OPTIME C1 are part of the Schaeffler Lifetime Solutions portfolio, which offers a comprehensive range of products, services, and solutions for industrial maintenance.
