Regular machinery lubrication vital, JSG says

Maintaining good lubrication is vital to ensuring machinery runs smoothly when it is needed – and JSG Industrial Systems has both the products and know-how to assist

Even the most powerful and most efficient piece of farm machinery in the world is of little use if it has broken down.


Lincoln’s P502 system

JSG Industrial Systems lubrication product sales manager Branco Zivic realises small farm operators are constantly trying to multi-task with limited labour available, which is why JSG’s products aim to be easy to use and provide both immediate and long-term benefits.

“With small farm machinery, like any other machinery, it’s important that their machinery doesn’t break down as downtime and loss of productivity is the major cost,” he says.

“It’s also important that farmers keep introducing new technologies or systems that can benefit greater productivity and reliability of their equipment.

“If we can provide them a product that would reduce labour and increase productivity, then they’re a lot better off.

“What we’re trying to introduce is the idea that regular greasing or periodically greasing a machine is better than doing it once a day, because when the machine isn’t working it doesn’t really need grease.

“Small amounts of grease, but often, is better than a one-off situation once a day.

“When the machine is working and you apply the grease, that’s when it is more effective than anything else.”

The downside of not lubricating machinery properly can be significant, Zivic says, ranging from increased wear and tear to complete operation failure.

The JSG range for small farm machinery includes two well-known lubrication brands – Faicom and SKF/Lincoln.

One Lincoln product available is the P502 system, which is a simple, small, compact progressive pump, which can distribute grease or oil depending on the application.

In conjunction with a progressive divide valve, users can maintain a vast number of grease lubrication points distributing the required grease volume to bearings, bushers, and pins. The P502 can also be utilised in lubrication chains when oil is required.

Faicom’s products offering a number of different dispensing products for fuel, grease and oil, from basic hand operated to fully pneumatic systems portable and stationary.

JSG can also adapt hose reels for air, water, oil, grease and fuel and can also supply a full range of control valves, metered and non-metered, depending on customer requirements and needs.

“If you don’t regularly grease something, and purging the used contaminated grease from bushers, pins and bearings it can do more harm,” Zivic says.

JSG Industrial Systems has offices and a distribution network around Australia and its full product range can be viewed at the company’s website, with small farm products also highlighted online.
