Grease Lubrication
Dropsa provides an extensive line of equipment for grease lubrication and system monitoring.
Grease lubrication has a wide field of application ranging from small machines such as woodworking machinery to large heavy industry such as steel plants or paper mills.
The large section of pump packages together with many custom design options allows any grease lubrication to be developed reliably and cost-effectively.
The most popular systems used for grease lubrication are Dual Line and Progressive Divider.
Available Systems
Dual Line 02 System
The modular design pioneered by Dropsa allows easy configuration and expandability of the system. Active components can be substituted during maintenance without the need to disrupt the interconnecting pipe-work.
Found traditionally on more complex heavy industrial machinery such as steel plants, the key characteristics of the Dual Line System are simplicity and reliability particularly in harsh environmental conditions.
In the event of one lubrication point becoming blocked or failing, the remainder of the system is not affected and continues working without problems. Dual Line Systems often can exceed 60 meters in length.
Progressive Divider System 26: (SMX - SMO - SMP-SMPM)
The Progressive Divider distributes the flow of a pump into separate 'progressive outlets' by the use of a progressive spool arrangement.
Positive lubrication feedback for all of the points can be achieved by monitoring one outlet with a cycle sensor.
This can also be used to calculate the amount of grease being injected into each point.
Dedicated and affordable electronic control and monitoring equipment, such as the 'VIP Controller' are available to monitor and control the complete operation of a progressive system.
The SMX Progressive Dividers are also available in 316 stainless steel.
