Automatic Lubrication Systems

Lubrication Technologies, Inc. partners with the most respected brands in the industry to ensure that our customers have access to the lubrication dispensing system that best fits the requirements of each application. We offer automatic lubrication systems, automatic grease lubrication system, auto lube systems for wheel loaders, auto lube systems for heavy equipment, auto lube systems for trucks, and components for all manufacturing, transportation, maintenance, and industrial applications. Complete systems and individual components available. We have designed and installed systems for power plants, paper mills, CNC machines, packaging facilities, food processing equipment, heavy equipment, trucks, and many other applications, both large and small.

Automatic lubrication systems dispense the right amount of grease to all critical lubrication points at the right time while machinery is in motion. Traditional manual lubrication methods, while offering a lower cost, have a tendency to either under or over lubricate due to human error. This is a proven cause of most bearing failures.

Properly designed and installed, automatic (a.k.a. centralized) lubrication systems will have a huge impact on your companies’ bottom line by reducing operating costs and increasing profitability:

  • Improve equipment reliability, reduce costly downtime and eliminate lubricant-related failures
  • Extend equipment and component life, prevent premature replacement of parts and machinery
  • Optimize manpower resources, reduce labor and unscheduled overtime costs
  • Reduce lubricant consumption, generate less waste

Series Progressive Systems

Series progressive lubrication systems, often referred to as automatic or centralized lubrication systems, are essential for ensuring that machines operate smoothly and efficiently by delivering precise amounts of oil or grease (up to NLGI 2) to critical friction points. These systems utilize distribution blocks, also known as divider valves, to meticulously meter and distribute the lubricant. Each divider valve is capable of serving between 3 and 24 outlets, ensuring that every lubrication point receives the exact amount of lubricant required for optimal performance.

The reliability of these distribution systems is further enhanced by the ability to monitor their operation. This can be achieved through an electrical switch on the primary divider, which provides real-time feedback on the system’s performance, as well as through visual observation of an indicator pin that confirms the proper discharge of lubricant to each point. This dual monitoring capability ensures that the lubrication system is functioning correctly, reducing the risk of equipment failure due to insufficient lubrication.

To cater to various operational needs, we offer a range of pumps that are compatible with different power sources, including 12/24 VDC, 115/230 VAC, pneumatic, and hydraulic power. This flexibility allows for the integration of lubrication systems into a wide variety of machines and environments. Additionally, we provide both integrated controllers and separate controllers to suit your specific requirements. For more advanced applications, we offer customized controls that utilize PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces), zoned operation, and real-time monitoring, allowing for a highly tailored and efficient lubrication solution.

Lubricants - Small Cost, Huge Returns

Lubrication Management Programs Protect Your Assets and Save You Money:

Although lubricants make up a mere 3% of the typical maintenance budget; using ineffective products, techniques and applications can have a significant impact on the lubrication-related costs that make up 40% of that budget. A Lubrication Management Program designed by the Technical Consultants at Lubrication Technologies, Inc. can help you target those areas where you see red.

  • Your equipment and components will last longer, run more efficiently and more reliably, and you won’t replace equipment or components prematurely
  • Your labor force will spend less time on routine lubrication-related maintenance and no time on lubricant-related equipment failures
  • You’ll reduce over-all lubricant consumption as well as waste
