perma ULTRA High-Pressure Bluetooth Lubricator, 500/1,000 cm³

High pressure for long grease lines and heavy-duty machines

perma ULTRA is a fully automatic lubrication system with a very precise discharge that is independent of temperature and counter pressure. It builds up to 50 bar, offers two cartridge sizes of 500 and 1,000 cm³ and allows weekly and monthly time settings, which makes it the high-capacity member of the perma single-point range.

The manufacturer names drag conveyors, shaker screens, rotary kilns and belt conveyors as typical uses, where high lubrication rates and long remote grease lines keep people away from hazardous points. A Bluetooth function allows operation through the perma CONNECT app.

Technical specifications

Sizing an ULTRA installation

Use ULTRA when the grease demand exceeds what a 250 cm³ cartridge can deliver in a sensible interval, or when the line from lubricator to point is long. At up to 50 bar it can push grease through lines that the 7.5 bar STAR units cannot. Choose the discharge period from the machine builder lubrication rate, remembering that weekly settings suit high-consumption points. Because the flyer lists grease only (no oil), use another unit for oil points. Settings and operating status are shown on the backlit display, and the lithium battery pack extends use down to -40 °C where a suitable low-temperature grease is fitted.

The table shows where the other perma single-point models sit.

Installation and safety

Mount the unit outside the danger zone and run the grease line to the point, prefilling the line with the same grease. The Quick Start Guide and the installation examples PDF show typical arrangements. Real-time configuration and maintenance checks are possible from a distance through Bluetooth, which reduces visits to hard-to-reach spots. See pumps and lubrication equipment.

Selection checks before ordering perma ULTRA

Start with a survey of the lubrication points. For each one, note the grease currently used, the quantity and interval specified by the machine or bearing maker, the length and diameter of the line that would run to the point, and whether the point is inside a guarded or hazardous zone. Compare the required quantity with the 500 and 1,000 cm³ cartridges and the available weekly or monthly discharge periods to find a setting that empties the cartridge within a sensible service interval.

Confirm that the grease is no stiffer than NLGI 2 and that it is compatible with the grease already in the bearing. Mixing incompatible thickeners can harm lubrication, so the bearing may need to be purged or the existing grease type kept. For points where the ambient temperature drops below -20 °C, the lithium battery pack and a suitable low-temperature grease apply, as stated in the specification.

Installing remote grease lines

Choose a mounting location that is easy to reach, protected from impact and outside the danger zone of the machine. Keep grease lines as short and straight as the layout allows, avoid sharp bends, and fix the line securely along its route so vibration does not loosen fittings. Prefill the line and the lubrication point with the same grease before connecting the unit, as the existing installation notes describe, so the first discharge reaches the bearing rather than filling empty tubing.

Label each unit with the lubrication point, the grease type and the date of installation. This makes cartridge changes faster and reduces the risk of the wrong grease being fitted on the next visit.

Commissioning and routine checks

Set the discharge period on the backlit display or through the perma CONNECT app, then confirm that the unit has started and that grease appears at the point after the line has filled. Record the start date and expected end date in the maintenance plan. During routine rounds, check the status on the display or in the app, look for leaks at the connections, and replace the cartridge before it runs empty.

Operating in Oman’s heat and dust

Quarries, cement plants, mining sites and bulk handling terminals in Oman expose bearings to abrasive dust and high summer temperatures. Automatic lubrication helps keep a steady supply of fresh grease at the bearing, which supports sealing against dust ingress. The upper operating limit is +60 °C, so mount units away from kiln shells, hot ducts and other radiant heat sources, and shade them from direct sun where surfaces get very hot. Grease consistency changes with temperature, so review the discharge setting between the cooler and hotter months and follow the manufacturer guidance on long remote lines.

Keeping records for each lubrication point

A simple log that lists each ULTRA unit, its location, grease, discharge setting and cartridge change dates turns automatic lubrication into a predictable routine. Review the log after bearing failures or overhauls to see whether the quantity delivered was suitable, and adjust the setting with the agreement of the machine owner.

Documents and quotation

The manufacturer flyer for perma ULTRA (Art. No. 118466) is attached to this page as a download. For a quotation, send the lubricant you want in the cartridge (grease or oil, brand and grade), the cartridge size, the discharge period, the ambient temperature range, the mounting position and whether the point is in a hazardous area.
