What is “Centralized Lubrication System”?

The primary purpose of an industrial centralized lubrication system is to provide timely and appropriate amounts of lubricant to any moving or rotating parts of mechanical equipment. From the source of the lubrication system, the lubricant is distributed through pipelines and accurately supplied to multiple lubrication points at specific intervals. The system consists of an oiler or a lubricator equipped with indicator lights and pressure gauges, distributors, float switches, filters, and piping components, forming a complete lubrication system.

Benefits of lubrication management

To ensure the continuous and smooth operation of mechanical equipment, proper lubrication management is essential to maximize equipment performance. Both industrial lubricating oils and greases are commonly used lubricants in Centralized Lubrication Systems. Lubricants serve various functions in different applications:

Reducing friction and wear to extend equipment life.
Reducing energy consumption and increasing production profitability.
Enhancing heat dissipation to prevent temperature rise caused by friction between machinery and workpieces.
Providing sealing, dustproofing, and rustproofing functions to effectively isolate moisture, oxygen, and harmful media in the air.
Cleaning function: Utilizing the circulation of lubrication to carry away impurities and remove them through filters or auto cleaner.
