What is Industrial Lubrication
It is a protective layer that reduces friction and provides smooth sliding between parts. In this way, it prevents temperature increases and changes, as well as corrosion and wear.
Types of Lubrication
By Drip
By Gravity
By Pressure
By Mist
By Ring

Dual-line
Single-line
Progressive

How are lubricants and greases classified? By their thickener types, the type and viscosity of the base oil, and their consistency or hardness. There are greases with soap thickeners and greases with non-soap thickeners. In both groups, the base oil can consist of a mineral oil or a synthetic one.
How does automatic industrial lubrication work? Centralized automatic lubrication systems consist of three main components: a lubricant reservoir, a pump unit, and a dosing system. The lubricant reservoir stores the lubricant and supplies it to the pump unit. The pump unit, in turn, supplies the lubricant through the dosing system to the lubrication points of the machinery. The dosing system regulates the amount of lubricant supplied to each lubrication point, ensuring that the right amount of lubricant is delivered at the right time.
Centralized automatic lubrication systems offer a number of benefits, such as significant savings in repair and spare parts costs, greater machine reliability, savings of up to 50% in lubricant costs, fewer shutdowns and less production loss, lower environmental impact, and increased safety for workers.
