Lubrication & equipment

At Louberg we provide comprehensive solutions for all automated lubrication needs. From earth moving equipment to marine mining platforms, we make it our aim to minimize down time, and reduce maintenance costs. We supply a wide range of lubrication equipment which allows us to provide custom made solutions for any application. Louberg’s comprehensive range of lubrication and pumping solutions encompasses the full range of SKF, Lincoln and Groeneveld equipment and systems.

Every machine has moving parts, motion causes friction which leads to wear and tear. With Louberg’s Lubrication Systems, lubrication equipment and components, wear is reduced and the value of your machinery is upheld. Our systems help avoid expensive downtime related to inadequate lubrication and have proved to be a cost saver to our clients in the field.

An automatic lubrication system, often referred to as a centralized lubrication system, is a system that delivers controlled amounts of lubricant to multiple locations on a machine while the machine is operating. The system can be classified into two different categories that can share a lot of the same components.

  • Oil systems: Oil systems primary use is for stationary manufacturing equipment such as CNC milling
  • Grease systems: Grease primary use is on mobile units such as trucks, mining  or construction equipment.

A typical Lubrication System consists of the following:

  • Controller/Timer – Activates the Lubrication Pump to distribute lubricant.
  • Pump with Reservoir – Stores and provides the lubricant to the system.
  • Supply Line – Line that connects the pump to the metering valves or injectors. The lubricant is pumped through this.
  • Metering Valves/Injectors– Component that measures/dispenses the lubricant to the application points.
  • Feed lines – Line that connects the metering valves or injectors to the application points. The lubricant is pumped through this.
  • 1. 220v, 24v, 12v Electrical grease pumping system 15kg reservoir
  • Very convenience when air or hydraulics is not available.
  • Delivery 120grams per minute

An advanced type of lubricator with an upward piston movement, which dramatically reduces the effects of oil separation that have plagued traditional spring type lubricators

The LAGD 60 and 125 models in the SFK System 24 are automatic single-point lubricators that are cost-effective and reliable. They are automatic gas driven and suitable for a variety of applications. Ready to use straight out of the box, the units are filled with high-quality SKF lubricants, including a variety of high-quality greases and oils. The activation process is tool-free and the time-setting function allows simple adjustment of lubrication flow.

A progressive system uses lubricant flow to cycle individual metering valves and valve assemblies. The valves consist of dispensing pistons moving back and forth in a specific bore. Each piston depends on flow from the previous piston to shift and displace lubricant. If one piston doesn’t shift, none of the following pistons will shift.Operation begins when the controller/timer sends a signal to the pump to start the lube event. The pump then feeds lubricant into the supply line which connects to the primary metering valve, for either a preprogramed amount of time or number of times as monitored through a designated piston cycle switch. Lubricant is fed to the multiple lubrication points one after another via secondary progressive metering valves sized for each series of lubrication points, and then directly to each point via the feed lines.

A single line system can service a single machine, different zones on a single machine or even several separate machines and is ideal when the volume of lubricant varies for each point.In this type of system, a central pump station automatically delivers lubricant through a single supply line to multiple branches of injectors. Each injector serves a single lubrication point, operates independently and may be individually adjusted to deliver the desired amount of lubricant.

Operation begins when the controller/timer sends a signal to the pump starting the lube cycle. The pump begins pumping lubricant to build up pressure in the supply line connecting the pump to the injectors. Once the injectors are filled, it then dispense a predetermined amount of lubricant to the lubrication points.

Once the entire system reaches the required pressure, an adjustable or fixed pressure switch sends a signal to the controller indicating that grease has cycled through to all the distribution points. The pump shuts off. Pressure is vented out of the system and grease in the line is redirected back to the pump reservoir, until the normal system pressure level is restored.
