GENERAL DESCRIPTION

MULTILUBE – GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1 GENERAL INFORMATION ON CENTRALIZED LUBRICATION SYSTEM

Accurate lubrication prevents damages and shutdowns caused by inadequate lubrication. The
service life of process equipment and machinery is extended and energy consumption and the
used amount of lubricant are reduced. Thanks to automation, optimum lubrication is achieved
and the burden of the environment is minimized. All this brings savings. Automation increases
work safety, as equipment and machinery does not have to be lubricated manually during
operation. In addition to all this a centralized lubrication system increases the runnability of
production processes.

2 MULTILUBE –CENTRAL LUBRICATION SYSTEM

MultiLube -system is a single- or dual-line central lubrication system, in which the lubricant is
pumped through piping to the dosers. Dosers feed the preset amount of lubricant to the
lubrication points.
The system operation is controlled and monitored by a control unit. Control unit controls the
system according to preset starting interval and monitors system pressurization and the
amount of lubricant. If the pressure does not reach the preset value during the maximum
pressurization time or if the amount of lubricant drops to the low level limit, the control unit will
inform of a malfunction. The control unit has an interlocking feature.

PUMPING UNIT MLP

1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The pumping unit is designed for pumping lubricant into central lubrication system.

2 DESIGN

Note Numbers in brackets are part numbers of drawing 461790A.

Pumping unit comprises of a body (pos.1) and a lubricant reservoir (pos.2).

The body comprises of a pump element (pos.3), an electric motor (pos.4), a line valve (pos.5),
a pressure relief valve (pos.6), a heating element (pos.7) and a power supply (pos.8). Pumping
unit is controlled by a user interface (pos.9) and a circuit board (pos.10). If external control is
used, user interface and circuit board are replaced with relays (pos.11). Pumping unit is
equipped with a pressure sensor (pos.12) for each line which can be replaced with an external
pressure control unit.
Lubricant reservoir is equipped with a follower piston (pos.13), a level indicator (pos.14) and a
low level switch (pos.15). Filling connector (pos.16) of the lubricant reservoir is equipped with a
filter (pos.17) and a safety valve (pos.18).
Pumping unit is equipped with a supporting block (pos. 19).

3 OPERATION
When pressurization begins, the control starts the pump and opens the line valve. In pressure
sensor and pressure transmitter operation the pump stops when pressure exceeds the set high
limit and starts, when the pressure goes below the set high limit. In pressure switch operation
the pump stops, when the pressure switch closes and restarts, when the pressure switch
opens. After the set pressurization time, the control stops the pump and pressure discharges
from the line to the lubricant reservoir.
If the lubricant level in the reservoir drops to the low limit level during pumping, the reservoir
low level switch sends an alarm to the control and pumping is stopped. The alarm can be
disabled by filling the lubricant reservoir and resetting the alarm.

Caution The viscosity of used oil must be min. 46 cSt in pumping unit operation
temperature.

Caution Check valve EOS-CV must be used in an oil lubrication system. The check
valve prevents the piping from draining during interval. See drawing
462119.

7. Connect the quick connector (8) to the lubricant hose.
8. Connect the quick connector to the pumping unit filling connector (9).
9. Fill the lubricant reservoir of the pumping unit by pumping slowly by hand.
10. Filling of the lubricant reservoir can be followed at the level indicator (10). To prevent
overfilling, the pumping unit is equipped with a safety valve (11).
11. Turn the pump handle (12) to upright position so that pressure discharges to the lubricant
reservoir.
12. Disconnect the quick connector from the pumping unit filling connector.
13. Fasten the protecting cap (13) of the pumping unit filling connector.
14. Fasten the protecting cap (14) of the filling device quick connector.

Display powersave mode

In normal mode display shifts to powersave mode when the buttons have not been used for
three minutes. In powersave mode only the decimal points are blinking on the display.
Lubrication events are performed according to the set values. The display returns to normal
mode if any button is pressed or if an alarm occurs.

Interval counting

In normal mode the display shows the time elapsed since the last pressurization as hours and
minutes. Green LED-signal of line 1 or 2 shows which line has been pressurized last.

Interval time is counted always, except when

• system is in alarm mode or turned off
• interlocking switch is closed
• system is turned off (maximum pressurization time = 0)

Pressurization

Pressurization time is shown on the display as seconds. Green LED-signal of line 1 or 2 shows
which line is pressurized. Green LED-signal P indicates that pressurization is in progress.
Pressurization can be stopped with SET –button.

Extra lubrication

Extra lubrication can be started, if the system is not currently in alarm mode, turned off or
pressurizing.
Extra lubrication is started in normal mode with SET –button, when the display shows time
elapsed since the last pressurization.
In dual line lubrication system both lines are pressurized once. The next line in the set
pressurization sequence is pressurized first. In single line lubrication system the line is
pressurized once.
Extra lubrication can be stopped with SET –button.
In pressure transmitter operation, line pressure discharge is measured. New pressurization
starts only after pressure in the lines is below the set low limit value.
In pressure switch operation, line pressure discharge is waited. New pressurization starts only
after the set delay time.
During pressure discharge display shows phase code dC.

B-DOSER GROUPS

1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Note Numbers in brackets are part numbers of drawings 461780 and 461803A.

A doser group consists of a mounting rail (pos.1) and one or several dosers (pos.2) fastened to
it. The mounting rail divides the lubricant to the dosers, which feed the adjusted amount of
lubricant to the lubrication points.

2 DESIGN
The doser includes a charging valve (pos.3), a dosing chamber (pos. 4), a dosing piston
(pos.5) and a spring (pos.6). B6 doser is equipped with a dosage adjustment screw (pos.7).

3 OPERATION

3.1 B-doser
The pressure in the line increases during pressurization and the doser charging valve moves to
its upper position. At the same time lubricant flows past the charging valve and moves the
dosing piston to its upper position. When the dosing piston moves to its upper position, it
pushes the adjusted lubricant dosage from the dosing chamber to the lubrication point.
After pressurization the line pressure decreases and the charging valve moves to its lower
position and closes. The spring returns the dosing piston to its lower position and at the same
time lubricant flows above the dosing piston to the dosing chamber.
The line can be pressurized again when the pressure in the line has decreased and the dosing
pistons of the dosers have returned to the lower position.

3.2 The unfastening and fastening of dosers

The dosers are unfastened and fastened with a socket wrench.

Warning When changing the dosers, make sure that there is no pressure in the
system.

Regular monitoring is a prerequisite for faultless system operation.

2 REGULAR INSPECTIONS

Daily inspections
• control unit for trouble-free operation

Monthly inspections
• check piping in locations which are exposed for external damages

3 DOSER INSPECTIONS
Check the dosers after approximately one (1) month after system start-up and after that check
depending on the operating conditions, but at least after every 6 months. Check for potential
excessive or insufficient lubrication and adjust dosers, if necessary.

3.1 SG2 -dosers

Steps
1. When user interface of pumping unit is in use:
Set the maximum pressurization time long enough when making the inspections, if
necessary.
When a control center is in use:
Switch system to manual operation when making the inspections.
2. Pressurize line 1. Write down the doser indicator positions as per group (indicators in
either in or out position). Within one doser group, all indicators must be in the same
position.
3. Pressurize line 2 and re-check the positions of all doser indicators. All indicators must now
be in the opposite position than during the first inspection cycle.
4. When user interface of pumping unit is in use:
