Lubrication & spraying

Frequently asked questions — Lubrication & spraying

• How do I choose between manual and pneumatic lubrication equipment?

  The choice between a manual or pneumatic propulsion mode mainly depends on the desired frequency of use and the volume of work to be handled. Pneumatic systems are generally recommended for intensive use requiring a constant flow rate, whereas manual devices are suited to more occasional interventions. It is imperative to assess the compatibility of the construction materials with the lubricant used to ensure the durability of the tank and the internal mechanisms, regardless of the solution chosen from the ranges distributed such as PRESSOL or MILWAUKEE.
• What are the criteria for ensuring seal compatibility with my fluids?

  The selection of lubrication or spraying equipment requires a rigorous check of the chemical compatibility of the seals with the fluids handled. A mismatch between the nature of the product and the construction materials can lead to premature deterioration of the devices. Before commissioning, it is recommended to review the technical data sheet of the fluid used to ensure that it corresponds to the specifications of the internal components of the equipment, in order to prevent the risk of leaks or malfunctions in the long term.
• How do I adapt my equipment to demanding operating conditions?

  To ensure the reliability of lubrication and spraying devices, operating conditions are a decisive factor when making a selection. If the working environment has a high concentration of dust or regular exposure to water splashes, it is necessary to opt for models specifically designed to withstand these constraints. A precise assessment of the place of use makes it possible to choose equipment whose technical design, from manufacturers such as KRANZLE, KARCHER PRO or NILFISK, complies with the requirements of robustness and tightness needed for the operation.
• In which cases should the Lubrication & spraying category be preferred over Hoses & compressed air?

  Choosing the Lubrication & spraying category is justified when the objective is the precise lubrication or dispensing of chemical products, unlike Hoses & compressed air systems which are more dedicated to the distribution and transport of fluids under pressure. If your need concerns the direct application of greases or sprayed substances onto mechanical components, the specialised solutions from PRODIXAL, ALGI or GYS are appropriate. Conversely, for air or industrial fluid distribution networks, you should refer to the specific references of the parent family.
