| BEARING GREASER |
PRODUCTION GREASER |
| Not designed for use with proximity sensors or programmable logic controllers (PLC's). |
Engineered to be operated by PLCs. Proximity sensors that indicate fill and discharge are integral parts of the grease dispensing components.
|
| Designed for once or twice a day operation. Some components have reset times of up to 120 seconds. |
Designed for high speed and high production. Typical reset time is less than one second. |
| Designed for the high grease pressure often necessary to move grease into bearings. Recommended operating pressure of 2,500 p.s.i. or more is common |
Designed to operate at 1,000 p.s.i. or less. Many components can operate at less than 500 p.s.i. Lower pressures cause less separation of the oil and solids in grease. |
| Air bubbles in the grease will result in less or no grease being dispensed. |
Eliminates "air in the grease" before that air gets into the grease dispensers. System is manufactured under U S patent number 6,053,285. |
| Most components are designed for NLGI 00 through NLGI 1 grease. |
Dispenses NLGI 00 through viscous NLGI #2 grease |
| Some dispensers are not adjustable and adjustable dispensers often require relieving grease pressure or venting before adjustment. |
Dispensers are adjustable under pressure without venting. |
| Grease reservoir has spring-loaded follower. Priming pressure varies with fill level and spring compression and force. |
Grease reservoir has air-spring biased follower. Priming pressure is adjustable between 30 and 110 p.s.i. Priming pressure is consistent at all fill levels. |
| Grease reservoir is designed for manual fill only. |
Grease reservoir includes automatic fill valve and can be permanently connected to a grease pail pump |
| Grease flow or dispense is not confirmed. Separate flow sensors are necessary to confirm grease dispense. |
Airless grease dispense is confirmed by monitoring piston position and travel with proximity sensors. |
