PONSSE Greasing System Enhancements for Forest Machinery
The PONSSE Greasing System is an innovative accessory designed specifically for Ponsse harvester heads, streamlining the chain lubrication process. This system is engineered to feed grease directly from screw-in cartridges, allowing operators to adjust lubrication settings through the advanced Opti5G information system. By utilizing grease cartridges stored in ideal conditions, operators can ensure optimal lubrication throughout their working hours.
Benefits of the New Greasing System
The new system is built to simplify the work of forest machine operators, especially in challenging weather conditions. Rather than dealing with traditional fixed grease tanks that require pumps, the PONSSE Greasing System allows for quick exchanges of cartridges. This user-friendly approach enables fast swaps and easy transport—the cartridges fit conveniently into vehicle cabins.
Efficiency of the Greasing System
This innovative lubrication system accommodates two 400-gram screw cartridges. The lifespan of these cartridges varies significantly based on active usage and specific dosing settings, lasting from 8 to 16 hours. Thanks to the Opti5G information system, operators can adjust the greasing to fit different operational needs efficiently.
Convenience for Operators
The system proactively notifies operators when it’s time to switch cartridges, ensuring minimal downtime for machines. The design makes it incredibly quick to change out cartridges, enabling operators to maintain productivity without long interruptions. Additionally, cartridges can be refilled, enhancing convenience and reducing waste.
Product Variety and Versatility
Ponsse offers a variety of grease cartridges that cater to diverse requirements, including options based on mineral oil or newly developed biodegradable grease options. Currently, the PONSSE Greasing System is compatible with all PONSSE H6, H7, and H8 harvester heads, with possibilities for retrofitting older models, making it accessible for many users in the industry.
