How Auto-Lube Systems Work
Through the utilization of a centralized grease pump, an electrically powered grease pump draws lubricant from a reservoir to a primary distribution block. Subsequently, the grease is directed to secondary distribution valves, which carefully dispense it to specific lubrication points. The automated greasing pump ensures the delivery of precise amounts of clean lubricant at metered intervals, precisely when needed.
Centralized lubrication systems are meticulously engineered to supply grease for lubricating friction points on both industrial and mobile machinery. These systems effectively minimize the maintenance costs associated with the machinery they service, eradicating downtime caused by inadequate lubrication and extending the overall lifespan of the equipment. Furthermore, the implementation of a centralized lubrication system facilitates the lubrication of challenging, hard-to-reach points at frequent intervals that would otherwise be challenging to access in normal operating conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, there are many different types of auto-lube systems. We carry two different types that are most used in the construction industry: Single-Line Lubrication Systems and Progressive Lubrication Systems.
Regardless of the specific use case, the fundamental concept of single-line lubrication persists: a central pump station autonomously supplies lubricant via a solitary supply line to the lubricant metering device. Each metering device is dedicated to a singular lubrication point and can be fine-tuned to dispense the exact quantity of grease or oil needed.
These systems have the flexibility to cater to a singular machine, distinct zones within one machine, or even multiple independent machines.
Progressive systems deliver continuous lubrication while the pump is active. When the pump ceases operation, the pistons within the progressive metering device come to a halt in their current positions. Upon the pump's resumption of lubricant supply, the pistons seamlessly resume their movement from where they had stopped. Consequently, if a single lubrication point is obstructed, the progressive circuit connected to that outlet of the pump will cease operation. This blockage serves as a control mechanism, prompting system maintenance by personnel.
Visual or electrical monitoring can be applied to observe just one outlet of a primary or secondary metering device from a pump outlet, depending on the chosen metering device.
Yes, here are a few reasons why:
- They protect your investment.
- They'll return your original costs and possibly more.
- They show up to work everyday.
That typically depends on the machine that it's going on. Smaller equipment will take 1 day or and larger equipment may take up to 3 days.
No, in order to take advantage of the warranty that is provided we must do the install.
