Lubrication system pumping station

The BEKA® Grease pump station is a customized automatic lubrication system, completely adapted to the requirements of the machine. The grease pump station can be set-up as a dual-line lubrication system or as an extensive progressive sectional lubrication system. Because of the customization of the system, a grease pump station can be used as a small oil lubrication system for one or two smaller machines, or even larger machines or plants. System overview An grease pump station, whether it’s being used as a dual-line or progressive system, consists of a few standard components: • A barrel pump • A control unit • One or several monitoring devices • One or several metering devices Grease pump station used as a dual-line system When used in a dual-line system, the grease is pumped to the distribution blocks via a double main line network. The metering units supply the exact right amount of grease to each of the lubrication points. The benefit of the dual-line system is that the system can deal with very long distances. Grease pump station used as a progressive sectional system In a progressive sectional system, the lubrication system is divided into several sections. In each section multiple distributors are collected. Each section is separately connected to a main line and can be lubricated individually. Each section is being operated by the control unit. The main dividers are supplied with grease by a gear pump which pumps the oil from a separate oil reservoir. A progressive sectional system is most commonly used when different machines are connected, but not always working at the same time.
