Jack of all Trades: Specialized systems, Special team

Dear Friends of Lubecore,

Lubecore is a highly specialized manufacturer of Automated Greasing Systems (AGS), but our proud Lubecore team is really our “Canadian Army Knife”. Such “Jack of all trades”, using their knowledge, experience, and drive to design solutions for new or even yet-to-exist equipment, and provide tailor-made, high-end Automated Greasing Systems within a short period. The very fact that we design, engineer, and produce our own parts and systems locally in our Canadian facility makes it possible to be quick-responding and flexible to market demands while maintaining quality control and in-house testing secured.

See some samples below in this newsletter. Besides that, this time of year is the season of trade-shows. Lubecore is on tour, and we’d like to meet you in person! We are expanding our business throughout North America and to even more overseas locations. We are always looking for new dealers and customers to serve.

If that sounds like you, I would like to welcome you to the Lubecore family.

Talk soon!

Lubecore Models Innovation at Manitoba AG Days 2020

The Manitoba Ag Days Show is an exposition of agricultural production, technology, and equipment that attracts exhibitors and visitors from across North America. Professionals, agriculturists, and traders meet and proliferate their knowledge and expertise in the agricultural sector, initiating innovations in farming. The show was held last week in Brandon, Manitoba.

That was the perfect place for Lubecore to display brand new, dedicated Agricultural innovation that can save farmers and operators enormous amounts of time and money, all while eliminating even more dirty work for them.

Lubecore has designed an Automated Greasing System for Air Seeders, or Air Drills as they are often called. A typical machine could contain as many as 70 rows with up to 500 greasing points, costing around $30,000 while only being utilized a few hundred hours per year due to the seasonal duty of the equipment. Lubecore’s new Remote Grease Bank System offers flexibility with 3-5 points per row on the Air Drill, and up to 70 rows concurrently greased easily at a fraction of the costs of a traditional system.

We received very positive responses from visitors to our Ag Days booth, and  Lubecore team member Albert Boonstra was happy to demonstrate how farmers and operators can save a lot of money, get rid of some dirty work, and protect their equipment simultaneously.

Do you have any questions? Click here and we will be happy to answer.

Remote Grease Bank System

Equipment maintenance is an important function, but how do you get it all done? Today’s modern Agricultural equipment can have hundreds of locations requiring grease. Often these grease points are critical components that are tucked into hard-to-reach areas, or covered in dirt. When the weather is right, your equipment needs to be making money, not held up for maintenance or repair.

Lubecore’s remote Grease Line System brings the grease points to a safe and convenient location on the equipment. No more crawling over and under your machinery to get a grease job done. No more time wasted cleaning away crud to get access to grease nipple. With less time required to get the job done, you have the confidence that your equipment is being maintained without sacrificing uptime.

Spot a Lubecore

Just another day on the road in Ontario, Canada, spotting Lubecore’s greasing hard-working trucks and keep them moving no matter the conditions, makes us proud.

Thank you!

Lubecore Accelerates

Dear Friends of Lubecore,

After years of perfecting our products, building a great team, and starting our in house design and production of parts and systems, we are ready to shift to the next gear and accelerate in this new year of growth.

We will add new dealers in Canada and the USA while restructuring our dealer network and distribution. Making sure everybody knows his task and can give his utmost best in doing so.

While growing, our primary focus will remain the end-user satisfaction. The man or woman operating the equipment with our Lubecore system on it needs to be able to depend on it to work flawlessly under any condition. And, in the unlikely event, it doesn’t work, we, together with our dealers, need to be able to solve it as quickly as possible. We believe in satisfied customers being the best ambassadors for our brand.

A product is only the best on the market if combined with the best possible service. That’s what we are after and will deliver. By doing so, we will accelerate our dealers business, his customer’s business, and finally our own business as a manufacturer.

We will keep you updated on a regular basis through newsletters showing you how we grow and make our dealers and end-users happy with great products and excellent service.

Accelerate with us in this next gear and new year
May 2020 bring you health, happiness and prosperity.

For Lubecore, 2019 turned into a year of continued growth. With an expanded presence in Alberta and Ontario and several new hires in our Campbellville headquarters, the company is on track for sustained growth. We are especially pleased to announce the additions of Ali McDonald in the role of inside sales support and scheduling, and Bert Tevel as our distribution network development manager.

To better serve a growing client base in Western Canada, we’ve hired two new certified service technicians (i.e. installers), a new operations manager and a new sales person in Alberta.

We also recently took on three new installers and a new sales person to help service Eastern Ontario, while adding two new sales people and three installers to our Central Ontario contingent.

The road to expansion and enhanced performance involved overcoming several hurdles on the R&D side while increasing our marketing efforts and trade show presence.

We look forward to continued success by being able to better support our customers through expansion, innovation and our best-in-class products and services.

In order to maintain and run an efficient fleet of vehicles, optimal lubrication is a key component. The problem with manual grease lubrication is that no matter how skilled your mechanic is with a grease gun, there will always be a certain amount of guesswork involved. This leads to under- or over-lubrication, both of which are harmful and wasteful.

By equipping you to apply just the right amount of grease, Lubecore’s Grease Volume Delivered (GVD) Meter protects your seals from too much or too little lubrication, meets equipment manufacturer requirements and keeps accurate and up-to-date records.

It’s time to take the guesswork out of manual grease lubrication in order to accurately service your vehicles’ grease-volume requirements.

GVD Meter Benefits

• Can be used in conjunction with a grease gun
  • Displays accurate measurement of the volume delivered to critical grease points
  • Meets equipment manufacturer lubrication instructions
  • Protects critical bearings and reduces downtime from both over- and under-lubrication

• Can be used in combination with a progressive divider valve
  • Volume of grease going into a number of grease points is controlled by a progressive divider which regulates the ratio and volume of grease per point.
  • Each grease point receives the correct volume according to design specifications.
  • Total volume of grease required for the group of points is known, and the GVD Meter measures and records the volume delivered to the entire group of grease points.
  • Responsibility for meeting lubrication requirements lies with the machine operator
  • Responsibility to measure and record grease delivered lies with the equipment operator

• Automatic grease-to-grease point delivery
  • GVD Meter is attached to the progressive divider valve, which is fed by an automatic grease-based lubrication system
  • Pump delivery is set to meet manufacturer’s greasing requirements by an electronic timer
  • Grease is delivered in small portions during operating hours instead of in single, manual applications
  • Amount of grease delivered is measured and recorded
  • Manual override is allowed
  • GVD Meter can be installed in a series in the mainline of an automated lubrication system
  • Equipment running hours are measured

Installing the GVD Meter in your vehicles will reduce component wear and tear, save on maintenance and labour costs and improve fuel efficiency.
