CARTRIDGE SYSTEM Kx THE SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION FOR SIMPLIFIED AND SAFE LUBRICANT HANDLING

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.
