Lubrication made easy with Groeneveld-Beka SingleLine
Groeneveld-Beka offers a wide selection of lubrication products for transport and logistics applications, including the Groeneveld SingleLine Parallel NLGI-0 automatic lubrication system with reservoir.
“The SingleLine automatic lubrication system has a parallel operation and is suitable for up to NLGI-0 grease,” said the company.
“The SingleLine is developed for equipment with a large number of lubrication points, such as low-loaders, articulated buses, trucks with drum brakes and trailers with steered axles. This lubrication system is used all over the world to ensure efficient and effective lubrication.”
The system is said to be easy to install and extend. Cited advantages include the preservation of grease quality with low work pressure; metering units offering an exact/adjustable amount of grease per lubrication point; and the optimum lubrication and sealing of all points.
“When the pump is activated, grease is pumped to the distribution blocks,” explained Groeneveld.
“The metering units on the distribution blocks provide the required amount of grease to the lubrication points through secondary lines…
“The pump is equipped with a follower plate to ensure that all the grease is used and that there is no funnelling effect. Also, grease is isolated from contaminants like dirt and water (this slows down its aging process). The reservoir wall is kept clean, enabling you to check the grease level visually.”
The type and number of metering units used will determine the grease metering per lubrication point. Grease quantities per lubrication point are adjustable with a selection of 11 different metering units.
Secondary lines create the connection between the metering units and the lubrication points (flexible hoses/steel pipes).
The SingleLine system can be equipped with an electronic timer. This controller will determine the interval and duration of the lubrication cycle, which can be set according to customer specifications.
