Lubricators, multiline Systems

In light and medium-heavy industry - in contrast to heavy process industry- individual machines with a smaller number of lubrication points are used. Applications in which grease lubrication is used include for instance pellet presses, gears, stone-crushers, cement kilns, screw conveyors, travelling hoists, process filters, ship steering and lubrication of rudder shafts, cranes, rotary filters, industrial separators, etc.

The above-mentioned machines are normally lubricated by means of a separate lubrication system which may take various forms. It may consist of a simple lubricator with as many outlets as there are lubrication points in the machine. It may also be a sophisticated lubrication system with automatic replenishment of lubricant and equipped with functional checks, control units for intermittent operation, etc.
