Electric Grease Pumps in Heavy Machinery Maintenance

Background:

A large construction company has a large number of trucks, excavators and other heavy machinery and equipment, which require regular maintenance and repair after a long period of operation. Due to the complexity of the equipment and the many lubrication points, the traditional manual lubrication method can no longer meet the demand. In order to improve maintenance efficiency and reduce labor costs, the company decided to introduce an electric grease pump system.

Solution:

• System Design: Based on the company's equipment types and lubrication needs, a centralized lubrication system was designed, including electric grease pumps, distributors, piping and other components. The electric grease pump is responsible for pumping grease from the storage tank and delivering it to each lubrication point, while the dispenser distributes grease to different lubrication points as needed.

• Installation: Electric grease pumps and dispensers were installed on the company's heavy machinery and connected via piping. At the same time, pressure switches and flow sensors are installed for each lubrication point to monitor the lubrication in real time.

• System operation: Through the control system, remote control and monitoring of the electric lubricating grease pump can be realized. When the pressure or flow rate of a lubrication point is lower than the set value, the system will automatically start the electric lubricating grease pump for supplemental lubrication. In addition, a timed lubrication program can be set up to ensure that the equipment is lubricated on time.

• Evaluation: Since the introduction of the electric grease pump system, the lubrication effect of the company's heavy machinery equipment has been significantly improved. Equipment failure rates have been reduced and maintenance costs have been effectively controlled. At the same time, the maintenance efficiency has been improved due to the reduction of manual operation.

Conclusion:

The application of electric lubricating grease pumps in the field of heavy machinery maintenance has achieved good results, effectively solving the problem of equipment lubrication, improving the maintenance efficiency and equipment life. This case shows that the electric lubricating grease pump in a variety of industrial fields has a wide range of application prospects.
