Seeing this title, perhaps many people will ask, what is a centralized lubrication system, how to use it correctly? First, let me introduce the system. The concept of a centralized lubrication system was introduced around the mid-30s of the 20th century. Since then, more and more research has focused on solving the flow problem of viscous lubricants in order to deliver the fluid correctly to the final position. Advances in technology have led to the creation of today’s centralized lubrication systems, which today have precise conveying methods for all types of industries. Centralized lubrication systems are sometimes called electric lubrication systems because they are completely or mostly computerized in the lubricant dispensing process. When applications require the lubrication of many components on numerous machines, these systems eliminate the risk of human error, ensure safety and increase efficiency.
Let’s talk about the working characteristics of the centralized lubrication system: it adopts centralized one-to-one control, the pressure of each lubrication point is large, and the reliability of refueling is high. The oil supply can adjust the lubrication point at any time according to actual needs, and the adjustable range is very wide, the accuracy is high, and it is very convenient for you to use. It can also be supplied at multiple levels, independently and quantitatively.
Centralized lubrication systems are designed to deliver the right amount of oil or grease to various locations on the machine at the right frequency during equipment use. This application method is often used to eliminate the possibility of human error, minimize downtime, reduce labor costs and improve employee safety, while extending the service life of the machine, saving you time and money.
So how do we use centralized lubrication correctly? We should correctly set the time period for filling the lubricant according to the actual situation. For newly purchased equipment, the time period for filling the lubricant in the centralized lubrication system is usually set, but because the situation of each machine is different, the lubrication points of the machinery will be different due to the load, and the demand for grease is also different, which requires the user to make appropriate adjustments or set their own according to the specific situation. The general principle of setting the time period is: if the stop time is less or the running time is long, the amount of grease is added, and vice versa, the amount of fat is small; When the equipment is used for heavy loads, the amount of grease should be appropriately increased, and vice versa, the amount of grease should be reduced. Excessive filling quality will cause waste and heat dissipation and cooling deterioration of the lubrication part; If the amount of grease is too small, the lubrication part will be greased and worn, affecting the service life of the equipment. Due to the high dust content of the air on the construction site of construction machinery, dust and its easy entry into the system through small gaps or ventilation holes, and the situation may be more serious when the site is opened for inspection or disassembly for maintenance. Therefore, we should ensure good sealing of the system when using it to prevent a large amount of dust and air from entering the lubrication system. It is required when overhauling and replacing parts and replenishing grease.
Special attention should be paid to cleaning to prevent dust and foreign objects from being brought in. Finally, we should regularly check the safety valve and each lubrication part. Periodically check the safety valve for grease spillage or fresh grease at each lubrication point while the system is running. These phenomena indicate that the system has failed, such as damage to the electric lubrication pump, improper pressure adjustment of the safety valve, blockage of distributors and pipelines at all levels, etc., at this time some lubrication parts can not be effectively lubricated, should be stopped immediately to check, troubleshooting.
