Regular lubrication of feeders is an important process of daily maintenance. Proper lubrication of feeders plays a key role to avoid malfunctions, reduce wear rate, and extend the service life of the feeders. Below 2 lubrication tips for Borgers feeders for your reference.

1.Select right oil and use proper oil consumption

The daily maintenance of Borgers feeders requires lubrication oil, and we recommends using below oil with lithium or other similar models: 

Lubricating oil consumption under different working conditions of equipment:

*It's important to note:

① An appropriate lubricating oil consumption should occupy 30% - 50%  internal space of the bearing. Excessive lubricating oil will shorten the service life of bearings.

② Must not mix different brands of lubricating oil.

For main motor, our recommended lubricating oil is below:

2.Pay attention to bearings and take care of them frequently

In the daily operation of equipment, we need to regularly check the lubrication situation of  bearings, such as whether the bearings can rotate freely, whether the temperature is normal, or whether there is oil leakage, etc., to detect and solve potential problems in time, ensure the smooth operation of the bearings, and extend their service life. We need to pay attention to below 5 points.

• Find lubrication points of bearing accurately,
• According to different working conditions, lubrication must be done every 8 or 24 hours,
• The normal operating temperature range of bearings is 40-70 ℃,
• If the temperature is 75℃, please stop the equipment for inspection and maintenance,
• If there is a difference of 10-15℃between the bearings, please stop for inspection and maintenance.

Take care of your feeders and other matching tracked jaw crushers or impact crushers or other equipment anytime, anywhere. For more information, you can contact your local dealer or Borgers service team.
