Hove A/S specializes in solutions for lubrication within various industry segments, e.g. mining, cement plants and wind energy. They have developed a selection of transportable lubrication pumps and supply grease in different sized Hove cartridges. This combination provides customers with top of the line equipment to ease and secure the work of the service teams.

Wrongful lubrication can lead to shortened bearing life. This can occur from under lubricating, over lubricating or applying a different grease with wrong additives for a specific application. 

The Easy Grease lubrication pumps are used to lubricate machines and mechanical equipment. KONEKT has created a system for Hove A/S, which enables collection of data from the lubrication pumps, providing the end user with a platform of valuable data for improving their future maintenance and the productivity of their facility.

Hove A/S is now rolling out a top of the line management system for their customers, with full insight into where, when and what grease is applied. This gives customers a more effective and fail safe lubrication, together with more data, which can be used to improve predictive maintenance programs.

The data collection and fault proof application method means that no wrong or unknown lube can be used through Hove’s machines, this guarantees both a clean and contamination free lube application but also full end to end registration of the application time and type used.
