Progressive lubrication systems are generally used in a wide variety of industrial machinery and equipment. The pumps are connected to divider valves, some of which are modular, allowing for easy installation, modification, and maintenance.
The M2500G, 3000 and PVBM series progressive divider valve manifolds distribute and provide incoming oil or grease to the bearing points. A typical divider valve manifold consists of an inlet section, three to ten valves, and an end section. One set can serve up to a maximum of 20 lubrication points. The individual divider valve blocks have a built-in discharge piston and outlet check valves. Blocks are offered in various outlet sizes. The discharge capacity of a block is determined by varying the diameter of the piston in the valve block.
The individual valve blocks operate in a “progressive” sequence. During operation, the piston within the block must complete a discharge cycle before another piston begins to work. As long as lubricant is delivered under pressure to the inlet section of the divider, the manifold valve blocks will continue to function progressively.
When the flow of lubricant to the inlet block is blocked, the movement of the piston stops. When flow resumes, piston movement begins at the same point in the discharge cycle. The supply lines supply lubricant from the valve block to the individual lubrication points. If a discharge line becomes blocked, it will stop the operation of all valves. Indicators are available to alert you to a crash.
Single line lubrication systems are less complicated, simple installation. Facilitates the supply of small doses of oil through Dosing Units. Electric and manual pumps are available to guarantee a discharge of up to 200 cc / minute. The oil dosage is proportional to the pump pressure and the oil viscosity. They are low pressure oil lubrication systems for light, medium and heavy machinery that require up to 100 lubrication points.
Automatic systems are ideal for machinery that requires an uninterrupted discharge of oil, either on a regular or continuous basis. Automatic systems are actuated by a self-contained timing mechanism or by a mechanical actuation mechanism connected to the equipment being lubricated.
Advantage
Compact, inexpensive and relatively easy to operate and maintain. The system is ideal for machinery or equipment with a large number of lubrication points.
A precisely controlled oil discharge is supplied to each point while the machine is running. The system provides a clean film of oil between critical bearing surfaces to keep friction and wear to a minimum. Machinery life is prolonged and production efficiency is maintained.
