OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF THE ALEMLUBE LUBRICATION SYSTEM

• The ALEMLUBE LUBRICATION SYSTEM (ALS) is a progressive system design designed to work with greases up to NLGI 2.

• Progressive means that the points are lubricated one after another via progressive divider valves.

• The system is designed to provide the correct volume of grease for each grease point.

• If a point refuses to take grease, the pressure in the system will rise in an attempt to force the grease into that point.

• If the pump pressure exceeds 280Bar, the pump relief valve will activate, giving a visual indication that there is a problem with the system.

KEY COMPONENTS

• The electrical driven piston pump (1) delivers the lubricant to the main (master) divider valve ( 2 ).

• From there it is distributed to the secondary dividers ( 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ) in the correct proportions.

• From the secondary dividers the lubricant is conveyed to the lubrication points.

• An on-board controller regulates the lubrication time and the pause time to deliver the correct volume of lubricant.

• A manual push button is located on the right hand side of the pump next to the power cable.

ALEMLUBE ILC-MAX PUMP STATION

ELECTRIC PUMPS - GREASE (ILC-MAX-G) and OIL (ILC-MAX-O) APPLICATIONS

Ideally suitable for the automatic grease lubrication of all types of industrial machines and chassis lubrication for trucks, trailers, buses, construction and mechanical handling vehicles.

In conjunction with DPX progressive dividers, more than three hundred greasing points can be automatically centralized from just a single grease pump.

OPERATION

The pumps are designed for intermittent or continuous operation to provide regular pre-programmed lubrication cycles as required for the application.

A direct-mounted electric geared motor drives an internal rotating cam, which can actuate up to three externally mounted pump elements.

Every pumping element has a relief valve to protect the system against over-pressure and give indication of a blockage downstream.

To have a bigger discharge it is possible to collect the three outlets from the pumping elements together in a single tube.

PUMP DESCRIPTION

The transparent reservoir has 2kg, 4kg or 8kg capacity and metallic reservoir has 5kg. The pumps can attain a maximum recommended operating pressure of 250 bar per outlet and delivery of up to 3.52 cc/minute per outlet.

The internal drive shaft is coupled to a specially formed stirring paddle in the reservoir of the pump unit which ensures continuous priming of the pump element inlets, even with grease up to NLGI No.2 consistency at ambient temperature down to -20 °C

The gear motor is protected by mean of an IP-56 protection degree covering (NYLON PA6 +30% FIBERGLASS). The seal is guarantee from well mounted “o” ring. The pumps can have an integrated electronic control timer built into the covering. The timer can be pre programmed to automatically operate the pump with variable “working time” and “pause times”.

ALEMLUBE ILC-MAX PUMP OPERATION

The DC gearmotor (1) provides continuous drive to the eccentric cam ( 2 ).

The pumping elements ( 3 ) are a push/pull design without return springs.

This cam also has a catch ring ( 4 ) so that as the gearmotor rotates, the pump element piston produces a suction stroke as it extends and a pressure stroke as it returns.

The body of the pump element contains a check valve ( 5 ) to ensure that lubricant cannot return to the reservoir.

The outlet body of the pump element has a relief valve ( 6 ) pre-set to 280Bar to protect components down stream from excessive pressure.

ALEMLUBE ILC-MAX PUMP ELEMENT INSTALLATION

Only install pump elements when the pump power cable is unplugged.

• First Remove the covering plug from the pump element port

• Clear grease from inside the pump – use a finger to push the grease away and feel where the eccentric and the catch ring are located inside

• Extend the pump element piston to 30mm

• Insert the piston and pump element into the housing on an upward angle so that the piston head touches the eccentric

• Move the pump element into a horizontal position

• The piston head must run in the groove between the eccentric and the catch ring

• Engage the thread and tighten the pump element just a few turns

• Plug the power cable back in and start the pump

• Slowly tighten the pump element until tight, ensuring that the pump is rotating smoothly and grease is beginning to be discharged

• Torque the pump element to 25-30 Newton Metres maximum

• For removal, reverse the above procedure ensuring that the piston is not left behind inside the pump housing

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

The delivery rate of the pumping element can be adjusted by loosening the locking nut (c) and rotating the adjustment screw (b) clockwise to reduce delivery, or counter clockwise to increase delivery. The output adjustment table shows the outputs that can be obtained by varying the distance (A) of the adjustment screw.

ALEMLUBE MINI-MAX PUMP STATION

ELECTRIC PUMPS – GREASE (MINI-MAX) APPLICATIONS

Ideally suitable for the automatic grease lubrication of small machines in transport, construction, agriculture and industrial applications. In conjunction with DPX progressive dividers, multiple points can be automatically centralized from just a single grease pump.

OPERATION

The pumps are designed for intermittent or continuous operation to provide regular pre-programmed lubrication cycles as required for the application.

A direct-mounted electric geared motor drives an internal rotating cam, which can actuate up to two large volume externally mounted pump elements and 8 mini pump elements. The large elements have a relief valve to protect the system against over-pressure and give indication of a blockage downstream – these are designed to supply the DPX progressive dividers.

The mini pump elements have no pressure relief and are designed to supply direct from pump element to bearing.

PUMP DESCRIPTION

The transparent reservoir has 1 KG capacity. The pumps can attain a maximum recommended operating pressure of 200 bar per outlet and delivery of up to 2.4cc/minute for a large pump element.

The internal drive shaft is coupled to a specially formed stirring paddle in the reservoir of the pump unit which ensures continuous priming of the pump element inlets, even with grease up to NLGI No. 2 consistency at ambient temperature down to -20 °C The gear motor is protected by mean of an IP-6K9K.

The pumps have an integrated electronic control timer built in. The timer can be programmed to automatically operate the pump with variable “working time” and “pause times”.

ALEMLUBE DPX PROGRESSIVE DIVIDERS

FEATURES AND DESCRIPTION

• The DPX progressive divider system doses lubricant with a progressive piston movement. Every piston controls the following one in sequence through a single delivery flow.

• This system is perfectly designed for delivering oil and grease to one or more journals or bearings. Each piston is in series with every other piston, so that every piston must move through its stroke to allow the next to move.

• If a piston is unable to move due to high back pressure from a blocked bearing, a blocked outlet or a malfunction, the sequence is broken and the lubricant flow through the entire divider stops.

• This stoppage can also occur if the lubricant is too stiff or too cold, or is broken lines are blocked off.

• When a stoppage occurs, the pump continues to build pressure, up to the relief valve setting of 280Bar. This high pressure may clear the obstruction.

• Due to this unique progressive design, the entire distribution system can be easily checked and monitored with a single visual indicator or a single electrical switch.

• The pump flowrate is divided when the divider valves are arranged in a cascade. A master divider can supply one or more secondary dividers.

• It is recommended to have no more than a two level cascade due to pressure drop and compressibility. Extending to a third cascade can cause irregular flow, especially in grease systems.

ALEMLUBE DPX PROGRESSIVE DIVIDERS

BENEFITS

• Positive discharge of measured quantity of lubricant guaranteed

• Suitable for fully automated lubrication

• Long operational life assured by a careful selection of high grade material and strict quality control

• Operation is fully monitorable with indicators and/or switches

• System design flexibility is excellent due to large range and combination of sizes

HOW TO CLEAN A PROGRESSIVE DIVIDER:

• Replace metering device or clean it in accordance with the following procedure:

• Remove all tube fittings and all outlet plugs.

• Try to cycle the divider.

Clean or change Pumping element

Clean or change main Divider following pocedure

How to Clean a Progressive Divider

• If still blocked, unscrew the piston closure plugs and if possible, try to push out the pistons using a smooth drift (dia smaller than 6mm).

• The pistons are precision fitted into the holes. Mark the pistons with regard to their installation position and direction after they have been removed.
