Paper Machine Lubrication Systems

The main function of lubricants is to keep moving metal surfaces separate in order to reduce friction. On paper and board machines, lubricants are used to reduce friction, wear, and heat in bearings, gears, and drive couplings. Common lubrication points include roll bearings, dryer gears, drive gearboxes and couplings, pump bearings, fan and blower bearings, and agitator bearings. This course describes the main functions of lubricants, safety hazards and safety guidelines for lubrication systems, advantages of grease lubricants, components of and flows in circulating lube oil systems, and the importance of lube oil conditioning and monitoring.
