Lubricant collector
Lubricant collector for the removal of used lubricant from open gears

The disadvantage of open gear lubrication
is that the lubricant on the teeth is gradually
pushed to the side by the gear and drips
off the teeth. With wind energy stations, the
lubricant gets into the environment where it
may cause pollution. To avoid dripping, the
wind energy stations are currently equipped
with collection gutters which need to be
carefully cleaned at each time the stations
are serviced.

Special system advantages

resulting in:

• Discharge of used lubricant by means of
the automatic lubricant collector
• No large-scale soiling due to dripping
lubricant
• Simple and quick exchange of the collector
