Understanding Centralised Lubrication Systems: How They Work and Their Benefits!

Lubrication is essential to ensuring industrial machinery is running smoothly. Centralised Lubrication System come into play in this place. But as founders at Lubsa Multilub Systems Pvt. Ltd., we make it our business to engineer, design and manufacture these innovative systems so that your machinery runs like a dream.

What is a Centralised Lubrication System?

The centralized lubrication system is designed to deliver the same exact amount of lubricant to several points simultaneously in a machine. This system obviates the requirement for manual lubrication and maintains uniform lubrication over the equipment’s operation. By making the lubrication procedure automatic the functional performance of various machinery such as the conveyors, crushers, and hydraulic systems is ensured resulting in optimum performance.

Why Should a Centralised Lubrication System be adopted?

A central lubrication system includes a pump, reservoir, conduits to distribution lines, and points of lubrication. Here’s a brief overview of how they function:

1. Pump: The lubrication pump draws lubricant from a reservoir and the system commences. There is a manual or automatic (controlled by an electronic timer or programmable logic controller PLC) mode for this pump.

2. Reservoir: Lubricant is held by the reservoir, and then supplied to the pump. Variations of the design can include the capability to accommodate both oil or grease depending on the application.

3. Distribution Lines: The lubricant is then pushed, via a system of distribution lines, to all the machinery lubrication points. These lines are calibrated to allow for a flow of lubricant to all the interested components.

4. Lubrication Points: Readily deliverable lubricant at the appropriate locations is provided to the moving parts of the machinery at the fitting or injector. This targeted application method makes sure that the lubricant is just sufficient to reduce friction and wear in each component within the system.

5. Monitoring System: A monitored version of a centralized lubrication system has the capability of tracking lubricant levels and distribution efficiency. In preparing this feature, timely maintenance and refilling is possible without downtime.

Advantages of Centralised Lubrication Systems

1. Improved Efficiency: Centralized systems provide consistent lubrication to all parts of a machine leading to overall increase in operational efficiency. Such reduction in wear and tear on component parts ensure minimum of repairs and replacement of the components.

2. Time Savings: It can take time, but it is a laborious process. This process is automated by central lubrication systems freeing the maintenance staff to manage their other vital tasks.

3. Reduced Lubricant Consumption: They supply the right amount of lubricant, thereby reducing wastage. Not only will it save cost on purchases for lubricant, but it will conserve the environment.

4. Enhanced Safety: Lubrication systems work from a central location, thus reducing the risk of human error. Automated systems reduce the need for personnel exposure in potentially hazardous environments, improving workplace safety.

5. Increased Equipment Lifespan: Accurate and regular lubrication extends machinery life considerably better than the other selection. Central lubrication systems prevent overheating and wear and allow equipment to work longer before needing repair.
