The miners shown in the photo won $16,000.00 US when they submitted the 900 Ser. Core-Lube System in a contest put on by Sifto Salt, for the best overall problem solving solution of the year.
The Sifto Salt Mine was using two other grease lubricators prior to the Core-Lube System.

from the miners:
Rope fling-off and mess around the controllers has virtually been eliminated.
Our previous wire rope grease system is subject to a lot of wastage as well as holding in damaging particles and moisture. With the Core-Lube System the lubricant is constantly being recycled through its self contained filtering system and has no wastage. Switching to the Core-Lube System removed the fire hazard caused by excess grease which was left behind on the wood timbers and bulk heads from the old system.
The Core-Lube System has proven to penetrate to the core of the wire rope. The maintenance crew using the new Core-Lube System have found it to be a neater, faster and safer to use than the older grease type pressure systems.
The miners shown built a small cart to move the whole unit around easily. The old wire rope applicator we used, piled up grease like mud under the tread wheels. We cleaned the mess up when we switched to the Core-Lube System and from that time on there has been no added mess anywhere.
There was a lot of labor spent cleaning up after the old system and money spent to dispose of the barrels of grease.
The Core-Lube System has completely
solved this problem. |
