Dual-Line Lubrication Systems

Our Dual-Line Lubrication Systems are purpose-built for large-scale applications that require numerous lubrication points and flexible operation.
They use two main lines that alternate lubricant supply through a high-pressure pump and change-over valve. This setup ensures a precise and consistent delivery every time.

Branch lines connect to dual-line metering devices, allowing a large volume of lubricant to reach each point effectively. Within extensive dual-line systems, end-of-line pressure switches help control and monitor performance.

These systems are simple to design and easy to adapt. You can extend or reduce them as needed by adding or removing metering devices. Because of this flexibility, a complete redesign of the system is rarely necessary. Dual-line metering devices can also combine with downstream progressive devices, increasing the total number of lubrication points.

At Pure Lubrication, our engineers handle the full process – from design and installation to maintenance and repair – so your operations keep running smoothly.

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.
