Lubrication pumps commonly used in mining equipment are divided into three main categories: electric lubrication pumps, manual lubrication pumps and hydraulic lubrication pumps. Each type of lubrication pump has its own unique application scenarios and advantages and disadvantages.
The characteristics and application of various types of lubrication pumps
Electric lubrication pump
Features: electric lubrication pump with good lubrication effect, easy to realize the advantages of centralized control. Driven by electricity, can realize the timing, quantitative automatic lubrication, greatly improving the lubrication efficiency and equipment reliability.
Application: It is suitable for large-scale, highly automated mining equipment, such as large coal mining machine, roadheader, etc.. However, because the electric lubrication pump needs electric power support, and the working environment is often complex and changeable, there are certain safety hazards, so in some special environments need to be used with caution.
Manual lubrication pump
Features: manual lubrication pump is easy to operate, without power support, suitable for small equipment or temporary lubrication needs. It is relatively low cost and simple to maintain.
Application: In the routine maintenance of mining equipment, manual lubrication pumps are often used to lubricate small parts or parts that are difficult to automate. Although less efficient, they are irreplaceable in specific scenarios.
Hydraulic lubrication pump
Features: The hydraulic lubrication pump takes hydraulic pressure as the power source and realizes lubricant delivery through hydraulic transmission. It combines the advantages of electric lubrication pumps and manual lubrication pumps, both with high lubrication efficiency, but also to a certain extent to avoid the safety hazards of electric lubrication pumps.
Application: The hydraulic lubrication pump is especially suitable for mining equipment with harsh working environment and high requirements for safety performance. For example, in coal mines and other flammable and explosive environments, hydraulic lubrication pumps are not easy to produce electric sparks and has a higher level of safety. In addition, the liquid lubrication pump is also suitable for the need to frequently adjust the amount of lubrication or lubrication parts of the equipment.
The lubrication pump selection principles
Applicability: according to the specific type of equipment, working environment and lubrication needs to choose the right type of lubrication pump.
Safety: consider the safety performance of the lubrication pump in the process of use, to avoid the selection of lubrication pump there are security risks.
Efficiency and cost: under the premise of ensuring the lubrication effect, try to improve the lubrication efficiency and reduce the cost of use.
Maintenance and maintenance: choose the type of lubrication pump is easy to maintain and repair, in order to reduce maintenance costs and improve equipment reliability.
In summary, mining equipment in the selection of lubrication pumps, should take into account the specific needs of the equipment, the working environment, safety performance and cost-effectiveness and other factors. Through reasonable selection and configuration of lubrication pumps, can ensure the normal operation of mining equipment and efficient production.
