Automatic Lubrication System for Shell’s Prelude
Posted by Irina Tabakina
TrustLube supplied to SBM Offshore for Shell’s Prelude FLNG. The system consists of an explosion proof grease cabinet to lubricate the radial wheel, axial boogie and axial boogie guiding of the world’s largest turret. Stainless steel framed grease applicators are used to connect the metering devices to dispense the grease equally on the wheel surfaces. TrustLube’s smart system is able to adapt its greasing cycle to the wind direction.
