Centralized lubrication

Company Fritsche is manufacturer of fittings, coupling, supply and feed line hoses and tubing for centralized lubrication. Our international customer are OEMs and wholesaler.

Reasons for centralized lubrication

The traditional method of lubricating the wear points generally consists in getting through to each single lubrication point manually with a grease gun or grease pistol. This is a difficult as well as time-consuming undertaking inasmuch some of the greasing points or lubricating points are difficult to access. Furthermore, it is complicated to identify the correct quantity of lubricant.

A centralized lubrication system feeds all wear points with the necessary lubricant during operation  and in continuous time intervals. Thus the lubrication is effected while all bearings are in action.

Benefits of centralized lubrication:

• Operating state of the machine is increased significantly with a perfect centralized lubrication
• Costs for maintenance and reparation is decreased significantly
• No holding time of machines and staff
• Significant extension of economic life-time of bearings
• Environmentally friendly as up to 40% of lubricant can be saved by using centralized lubrication

What are the types of centralized lubrication systems?

Single-line centralized lubrication

Single-line lubrication systems are suitable for the many lubricating points of small to medium-sized machines. The lubricant is supplied here with intermittent pressure via lubricant distributors to the friction points in metered amounts.

Progressive and two-line systems

The progressive system represents the classical solution to lubricating large plants. Progressive distributors have become an integral parts of modern centralized lubrication systems. Their advantage clearly lies in the fact that with only one supply line they can supply lubricant to several lubricating points. A reciprocating dosing plunger monitors the distribution function.

Centralized lubrication systems for mobile applications

Centralized lubrication systems of this series are specifically designed to commercial vehicles such as trucks as well as agricultural and construction machinery. Progressive systems are used here for lubricating greases. Our catalogue includes our standard threaded couplings and hose assemblies for centralized lubrication.
