Dual-Line Lubrication Systems

Dual-line lubrication systems are designed for large-scale applications with numerous lubrication points and varying requirements.

They operate using two main lines that alternately supply lubricant via a high-pressure pump and change-over valve, ensuring consistent and precise delivery.

Branch lines, along the main lines, are connected with dual-line metering devices to supply a large volume of lubricant to the lubrication points. Within large dual-line systems, end-of-line pressure switches are used to control and monitor the system. 

These flexible systems are simple to design and can be extended or reduced easily by installing additional metering devices or by removing them. A redesign of the system is not required. Dual-line metering devices can be combined with downstream progressive metering devices to increase the total number of lubrication points receiving small lubricant amounts. Even better, our Pure Lubrication team are ready to do the complete install and any repairs along the way.

Benefits

  • Flexible – simple to de­sign, easy to extend or reduce
  • Reliable – precise, metered amount of lubricant, to up to 2000 lubrica­tion points over long distances up to 120 m (131 yd) 
  • Variety of applications
  • Effectively in harsh conditions including potentially high lubrication-point back pressure, dirty, wet or humid environments and low temperatures

 

Applications

  • Heavy industry
  • Metalworking plants
  • Pulp and paper production
  • Mining and mineral processing
  • Power plants
  • Cement factories

 

How does it work?

The system functions in two phases. In the first phase, lubricant is pumped into main line A, while main line B is relieved. This action moves the pistons in the metering devices to dispense a precise amount of lubricant to the designated points. Once all points are serviced, the system switches, pressurising main line B and relieving main line A, repeating the process to ensure continuous lubrication.
