Product catalog summary

Challenges in Refilling Centralized Lubrication Systems
Central lubrication systems are often located in hard-to-reach areas, making refilling a challenging task. This process can be messy due to limited accessibility and space, leading to grease and oil residue accumulation, which attracts dirt and dust. Improper refilling can also cause functional issues, potentially leading to system failure.

The Kx Cartridge System
The Kx cartridge system offers an environmentally friendly and resource-saving solution for lubricant handling in various industrial sectors, including water, waste, construction, food, and pharmaceuticals. It allows for easy refilling and cartridge exchange, which can be managed by machine operators rather than maintenance staff. The system is adaptable to most pump units on the market, with conversion kits available for WOERNER pumps.

Environmental and Economic Benefits
The Kx system is designed to minimize ecological impact by enabling a closed-loop system for lubricant use. Cartridges can be reused up to 10 times, reducing waste and costs. The system ensures almost complete emptying of cartridges, with less than 1% residual volume, and supports the use of recycled materials.

Sustainable Circulation System
At the end of its lifecycle, the cartridge is returned to the raw material cycle. The system offers simple handling, minimal contamination risk, and no need for new pump designs. It supports customer-specific filling and ensures bubble-free filling.

Comparison with Conventional Containers
Conventional containers often leave residual lubricant, leading to waste and costly disposal. The Kx system, however, ensures nearly complete usage of lubricant, reducing waste and environmental impact. It also prevents air and dirt ingress, which can cause malfunctions in conventional systems.

Application Examples and Cost Savings
An example calculation shows significant cost savings by reducing grease waste. The Kx system's design allows for almost complete emptying, minimizing residual volume and associated costs.

Kx: ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND RESOURCE-SAVING CHALLENGES WHEN REFILLING CENTRALIZED LUBRICATION SYSTEMS Central lubricating systems are often installed in places that are dif昀椀cult to access or only accessible to a limited extent. This makes re昀椀lling the lubricant container a special challenge. Filling is often a messy affair, not least due to the restricted accessibility and limited space available. Grease and oil residue collect on the outside of the container, leading to an unsightly appearance and becoming a magnet for dirt and dust. In addition to visual impact, incorrect or sloppy 昀椀lling...

The customer purchases the cartridge for initial use and uses it either on a filling pump to refill the lubricant of a centralized lubrication system (CLS) or for direct lubrication. The only costs due for every further filling are the "refill" costs (cleaning and refill). Any residual lubricant in the cartridge is checked for reusability before cleaning and is therefore not lost. The robust construction and geometric design enables a easy emptying and filling, which means that the cartridges can be reused up to 10 times on average. NO RESIDUAL LUBRICANT QUANTITIES At the end of its service life,...

COMPARISON OF THE SYSTEMS: CONVENTIONAL CONTAINERS VS. Kx SAVING POTENTIAL Bellows, a DIN cartridge or a hobbock/barrel are not usually emptied completely; a residual amount of lubricant remains and is thus not used. This is neither ecological nor economical. After use, the not-quite-empty lubricant container has to be sent for costly disposal. The following example calculation is based on the average residual volume of a 25 kg bucket (determined by various emptying attempts) and shows the monetary value that would be thrown away. The disposal costs are not included in this calculation.
