Centralised lubrication based on a multi-line system
can supply small groups of machines as well as machine systems. This type of automatic lubrication system
is called a multi-line system.
The multi-line system often uses the propulsion from the machine that has to be lubricated.
One characteristic of the multi-line system is that each lubrication point is supplied by a separate line from the pump.
The pump of the multi-line system has several output connections. This pump is also called a hedgehog pump.
This simple centralised lubrication system supplies lubricant directly to the bearing points via single convey elements, which are individually piloted and dosed.
The delivery volume for each output of the pump can be individually regulated.
A multi-line system is primarily used in small
machines and can convey lubricant to up to 32 lubrication points.
