GROENEVELD Automatic Greasing Systems ensure the daily maintenance of
everything that has moving parts. They avoid unnecessary machinery wear and
down-time and thus save cost and prevent exasperation.
GROENEVELD greasing systems are used by, for example, production companies,
machinery used in service industries, agriculture, ships, the offshore industry and
the transport industry.
In the following list are the most important advantages:
• increase of the service intervals, thus less unnecessary down-time;
• less wear of the lubricated parts because of accurate and constant lubricating;
• reduced repair and replacement costs;
• reduced unexpected down-time;
• fewer production losses.

NKP páåÖäÉäáåÉ=^ìíçã~íáÅ=dêÉ~ëáåÖ=póëíÉãë
With a Singleline Automatic Greasing System, all lubrication points of a vehicle or
machine are automatically lubricated at the correct time with the correct dose.
Moreover, optimum grease or lube-oil distribution over the whole lubricating
surface is achieved, because the lubrication takes place while the machinery or
vehicle is in operation. Every action is automatically carried out by the system. The
user needs only to refill the reservoir periodically.
The GROENEVELD Automatic Greasing Systems are designed with great care and
thoroughly tested to guarantee a long and fault-free life span, under the most
heavy operational conditions.
A well-functioning system requires:
• correct assembly;
• use of the prescribed type of grease or lube oil;
• a periodic check of the functionality of the system.
The periodic check can easily be carried out at the same time as the normal
maintenance of the machine or vehicle. Moreover, because of the careful choice of
materials, the greasing system is nearly maintenance-free.

ATTENTION:

An automatic greasing system avoids the time-consuming manual lubricat-

ing of important parts. Remember, however, that there can be lubricating
points that still have to be lubricated manually.

Each system consists of a pump with an integral reservoir, a control unit, a main
pipe, one or more metering unit blocks, metering units, secondary piping and
connectors. Lubricant is transferred from the reservoir by the pump, via the main
pipe, to the metering unit blocks.
Each metering unit is connected by a secondary pipe to a lubrication point. An
electronic timer, PLC or a pneumatically operated impulse counter, depending on
whether there is a continuous electrical supply available, is used to determine when
lubrication occurs.
Generally only trailers and semi-trailers are equipped with a pneumatic (brake)
impulse counter since they usually do not have a continuous electrical supply.
There are two main types of pump:
• electrically operated pumps (with electronic timer or PLC)
• pneumatically operated pumps (with electronic timer, PLC or pneumatic
impulse counter).
The electrically operated pump is used mainly for installations or vehicles without
a compressed air supply. The electrically operated pump is also used for
installations where a large lubricant delivery is required. The delivery is larger as
the pump operates for longer periods.

figure 3.1 System with pneumatically operated pump and electronic timer
(schematically)

At a time preset by the electronic timer, the circuit to the solenoid valve is closed.
The solenoid valve opens and allows compressed air from the compressor to flow
to the pump.
The pump piston now rises under compressor pressure and forces grease into the
system. The lubricant pressure is dependent upon the air pressure on the piston
(this is the compressor pressure). With a compressor pressure of 8 bar and for a
pump with 9:1 ratio, the grease pressure is 72 bar.
The metering units then simultaneously pass a fixed, pre-selected metered quantity
of grease to the points to be lubricated. To end the lubrication cycle the electronic
timer or PLC opens the electrical circuit closing the solenoid valve. Therefore the
compressed air supply to the pump is shut off and the piston reverts to atmospheric
pressure. This allows the piston to return to its starting position and the whole
system is depressurized.
Release date: March 2003

The metering units are then able to automatically refill themselves and are then
(after a minimum delay of 2 minutes) ready for the next lubrication cycle.

As a rule, trailers and semi-trailers are equipped with a pneumatic (brake) impulse
counter and not with an electronic timer or PLC. This is because of a lack of a
continuous electrical supply.
The standard version of the brake impulse counter is pneumatically operated and
uses the air signal from the service line which is usually connected to the number
4 position of the trailer relay valve. This position may differ in the different
countries; please contact your local dealer or GROENEVELD. In certain situations
the signal line can be too long, as is the case with extended semi-trailers. Another
relay valve is then installed in the fixed part of the semi-trailer.
Alternatively an electrical version of the pneumatic impulse counter can be used,
which operates through the brake-light circuit.

figure 3.4 System with electrically operated pump (schematically)

At a time set by the electronic timer or PLC, a gear pump under the grease reservoir
is started. The lubricant is pumped from the reservoir via the main pipe, to the
metering unit blocks. The metering units then simultaneously allow a measured
quantity of lubricant to be pressurized to the points to be lubricated. A pressure
bypass valve keeps the system at a preset pressure during the pumping cycle.
To end the lubrication cycle, the electronic timer or PLC opens the electrical circuit,
the gear pump then stops. Pressure in the output main (primary) pipe to the
metering units then falls by means of a built-in pressure discharge valve. The
metering units then automatically refill themselves after which they are ready for
the next lubrication cycle.

figure 3.5 System with electric plunger pump (schematically)

GROENEVELD Automatic Greasing Systems with electrically driven pumps are

usually employed on vehicles or machines on which electric power is always
available. An electric pump is also the best choice if the lubricant demand of the
system is high.
The control unit - an advanced electronic timer, for instance - holds a number of
system control variables, such as the lubrication interval and the duration of the
lubrication cycle. The control unit is able to process and store all functional errors
that may occur and automatically maintains an electronic log book. If the greasing
system requires action, the controller will generate an alarm signal (i.e. if the
reservoir needs to be refilled).
At a given point in time, the control unit will start the pump and lubricant will be
pressed through the primary line to the distributors and, consequently, to the
dosage metering units. Each metering device then forces - powered by the grease
pressure - an exact amount of grease through the secondary lines to the grease

points. All metering units act simultaneously. The amount of lubricant that goes to
each of the grease points depends on the type of metering device installed.
A pressure control valve - built into the pump unit - maintains a constant pressure
of 100 bar in the system during the lubrication cycle (i.e. while the pump runs).
If the grease pressure exceeds 100 bar this valve will redirect the grease back
toward the reservoir.
During the lubrication cycle, the integrated pressure switch must report to the
control unit that the required pressure has been attained (at least 70 bar). If the
control unit does not receive this signal it will generate an alarm signal.
The lubrication cycle ends when the control unit stops the pump. The pressure in
the primary line then slowly drops to zero, via an electrically controlled relieve
valve. The metering units will then be able to reset themselves and will be ready
for the next lubrication cycle after about two minutes.

If pressure is applied via the compressed air connection (9) the main piston (10) will
be forced upwards applying pressure to the lubricant in chamber (14). The pressure
in chamber (14) forces valve (15) against the seat. The connection (16) to the
reservoir (1) is thus closed.
The lubricant leaves the chamber (14) via a channel (3) through the non-return
valve (8) into the main or primary line. The metering units are brought under full
pump pressure passing their metered quantities of lubricant into the lubrication
points. As a result of the pressure differential at the return valve (7) the return
channel (4) remains closed.
At the end of the complete lubrication cycle the air pressure under the main piston
(10) falls, allowing the piston to be pushed downward by the spring (11). At the
same time flapper valve (15) is released and, because of the reduced pressure in the
chamber (14), lubricant is drawn from the reservoir.
The non-return valve (8) prevents grease from the system piping and metering units
from flowing back into the chamber (14).
The pressure in the main pipe opens the return valve (7) via the channel (6). This
allows the pressure of the lubricant to flow via the channel (4) to the reservoir. The
metering units, with this pressure drop can now automatically refill themselves
following which, they are ready for the next lubrication cycle.
A manometer can be connected to the lubricant channel showing the pressure in
the main line. It is also possible to replace this manometer by a pressure color
indicator. At the start of the lubrication cycle, this will be red as a result of the air
pressure, and will change to green at the end of the cycle, due to the pressure.
Green thus indicates that the pump has worked and that sufficient pressure has
built up in the grease line system. If the color remains red, this means that
insufficient pressure has built up in the system. This could be caused by leakage
from the main line.

The gear pump (9) is activated by the electronic timer. The lubricant will now be
pumped from the reservoir (10) through the main pipe line (6) to the metering unit
distribution blocks. The pump remains in operation throughout the entire cycle
period. This cycle or impulse period is 3 minutes, when the standard version of the
electronic timer is used. The pump builds up the lubricant pressure during the cycle.
When the pressure reaches 57 bar, the pressure control valve (3) opens, lubricant is
then no longer pumped into the main line but returns to the reservoir. The pressure
is thus limited to 57 bar.
The standard version of the electrically operated pump is fitted with a pressure
switch (7). If, during the lubrication cycle, the pressure does not rise above 40 bar
the electronic timer or PLC will sound an alarm signal. A level indicator switch (2)
(not in all versions) provides an alarm signal if the lubricant in the reservoir falls
below a certain minimum level.
On the right-hand side between the connector for the primary line (6) and the
connector fitting (4) there is a right-angle connector for air venting and overflow
(5). When filling the reservoir with lubricant the air above the follower plate
escapes. This air flows downward through an opening in the piston line and leaves
the pump via the right-angle connector (5). The escape of a small quantity of
lubricant via this connector during venting is quite normal.
(A version with the connections for the primary line and for the connector on the
left-hand side of the pump can also be supplied if required.)

figure 4.3 The electric plunger pump

bdMNMN mìãéë QJT

 páåÖäÉäáåÉ General Manual

The actual pump (5) of the unit consists of six fixed cylinders amid a ring duct. The
six plungers are driven by the electric motor (9) through a mechanical transmission.
In the channel between the ring duct and the output port (6) of the pump unit, a
pressure control valve (14) and an electrically operated return valve (10) have been
incorporated. The pressure control valve is used to maintain a constant grease
pressure during the pump cycle. The return valve allows the grease pressure in the
system to fade after the pump cycle has ended.
The standard electric plunger pump is fitted with a pressure switch (8) which is used
to check that the required grease pressure is attained during the pump cycle. The
optional low level switch (4) in the reservoir will cause the control unit to generate
an alarm signal when the level of the lubricant in the reservoir becomes too low
and needs to be replenished.
The pump is electrically connected with the control unit through a connector (7).
The reservoir (2) is mounted on top of the pump unit. The reservoir is filled via the
filler port (11) at the side of the pump unit. A filter (13) prevents contaminations
from entering the reservoir. Any bubbles of air that might be introduced in the
lubricant while filling the reservoir can escape to the space above the follower
piston (1) through the overflow port (12) and a channel in the guide rod (3). If the
reservoir is - inadvertently - filled to a level above its maximum level, this excess
lubricant is also allowed to escape in this way.

figure 5.1 Electronic timer

The greasing system (with a pneumatically operated or electrically operated pump)

can be controlled by an electronic timer (fig. 5.1). The timer produces, at set time
intervals impulses lasting 3 minutes. These impulses energize the solenoid valve in
the air supply to start the lubrication cycle. With an electrically operated pump the
impulses start the pump. The interval between successive lubrication cycles is ad-
justed on the electronic timer.
If during a cycle the power supply is switched off, a complete new lubrication cycle
will restart when the power supply is again switched on.
The electronic timer has a memory in which data is stored even after switching off
the power supply.
The data stored is as follows:
• interval duration
• impulse duration
• conditions for an alarm signal
• total number of cycles since first fitted
• total number of alarm signals since first fitted
• longest series of successive alarm signals in a certain period
• remaining interval time
Release date: March 2003

The data in the memory can be recovered using a special test or read-out unit. This
device should be connected via the socket on the left-hand side of the timer.

RKO ^ÇàìëíãÉåí=çÑ=íÜÉ=ÅóÅäÉ=íáãÉ=áåíÉêî~ä
The interval time between two successive lubrication cycles can be adjusted using
the step switch. One of ten time intervals can be selected. The standard version has
time intervals increasing by 0.5 h steps (0.5 h, 1 h, 1.5 h etc. to 5 h). If the power
supply is switched off during a cycle the cycle will be ended. When the power sup-
ply is switched on again a complete new cycle will be started.

The various electronic timer functions can be tested as follows:

Test 1, step switch test:

• This test checks the step switch contacts in al positions.
• Set the step switch to position ‘test A’.
• Activate the electronic timer by switching on the ignition.
• Press the ‘test’ button.
• Wait for the audible alarm signal then release the ‘test’ button.
• Within 5 seconds turn the step switch to the required interval time posi-
tion. Each position produces a number of signals: position 1 gives one sig-
nal, position 2 two signals etc.
• The switch can be set to all positions; positions ‘test A’ and ‘test B’ will not
produce an alarm signal.
• End the test by switching off the ignition.

Test 2, accelerated cycle test:

• Set the step switch to position ‘test A’.
• Press and hold the ‘test’ button.
• Switch the ignition on while still keeping the ‘test’ button pressed in.
• The alarm signal buzzer will now sound. The ‘test’ button must be pressed
as long as the alarm signal continues.
• Within 5 seconds of the end of the alarm signal turn the step switch to the
required position.
• The electronic timer is now fully operational; the time intervals are now 1/
20 of their usual times.
• End the test by switching off the power supply.

Test 3, normal system test:

• Switch the ignition on.
• Press the ‘test’ button; a normal lubrication cycle will then follow. The
switch can be set in any position except ‘test A’ or ‘test B’.
After this test the electronic timer will work at the interval set.
The ‘test B’ position is only for use with the test or read-out unit.

RKQ ^ä~êã=ëáÖå~äë
Alarm signals can be generated by the electronic timer in various circumstances.
The standard version uses a built-in buzzer. In other versions another (external)
alarm indicator can be fitted, for example a lamp.
The alarm signal is generated in the following situations:
• After reaching 70% of the cycle time (70% of 3 minutes = 2 minutes) the
Release date: March 2003

pressure switch should have connected to earth. If this is not the case -
because insufficient pressure has been built up - then a continuous alarm
signal is generated.
• If a level indicator switch is fitted to an electrically operated pump, an
intermittent alarm is generated when the level of the lubricant in the
reservoir falls below a set minimum. This signal will be generated throughout
the entire cycle. If, moreover, insufficient pressure is built up, the pressure
alarm will take over after 2 minutes, causing a change in the frequency of the
alarm signal.
• The electronic timer runs a self-test after the power supply is switched on; if
there is a fault condition an intermittent alarm is generated. This can occur if
no interval is selected by the step switch.

bdMNMN bäÉÅíêçåáÅ=íáãÉê RJP

 páåÖäÉäáåÉ General Manual

If the electronic timer sounds an alarm to indicate that the timer or greasing system
is not functioning properly, it is strongly advised to examine (or have examined) the
greasing system and if necessary to make repairs. If this is left too long, damage can
be caused to either the installation or the greasing system.

figure 6.2 Pneumatically operated brake impulse counter

The pneumatic impulse counter starts the lubrication cycle after a set number of
pulses. The electrically operated counter (fig. 6.1) is activated by an electric signal.
The solenoid valve of the pneumatic impulse counter is energized, causing the
operating cam to be rotated. With a pneumatically operated impulse counter
(fig. 6.2) activation is through pulses from the pneumatic system before the relay
valve. The compressed air operates a piston, which in turn rotates the operating
cam.
After a preset number of pulses the operating cam opens the air valve through
which compressed air passes to the pump.
The lubrication cycle then begins. After a further number of pulses, depending on
the setting of the counter, the pump is vented through the venting outlet R.

figure 6.3 Setting the brake impulse

The number of pulses required for the counter to activate the pump, is set as
follows:
• Remove the transparent cover.
• Set the distance (fig. 6.3/L) between the left-hand side of the striker and the
head of the adjusting bolt. The distances equivalent to a specific number of
pulses are shown on the transparent cover. A feeler-gauge is fixed to the
inside of the cover and can be used to set this distance. The tool is marked
with the number of pulses related to each thickness.
• Tighten the adjustment bolt lock nut.
• Replace and secure the cover.

REMARK:

Setting the pneumatic impulse counter is easier when the pneumatic line is
under pressure. This moves the cam striker to the right so that the distance
between the striker and the adjustment bolt can be measured.

figure 7.1 Distribution block with metering units

There are 11 metering unit types (1) available for the Singleline system, each with
a differing metered lubricant quantity. By careful selection of the type of metering
unit each lubrication point can be provided with the right quantity of lubricant.
The metering units are fitted in groups on distribution blocks (2); this is a cast brass
distribution block to which the primary (main) line(3) is connected. The blocks are
available with several ports or outlets to which metering units can be connected.
The unused outlets should be blanked-off.
The metering units are also made of brass and are, because of their enclosed
design, exceptionally suitable for use in dirty and dusty conditions. It is not
advisable to open the metering units as this allows the entry of dirt, and thus is a
potential cause of faults.

TKN qóéÉë=çÑ=ãÉíÉêáåÖ=ìåáíë
The delivery (per lubrication cycle) of a metering unit is determined by the number
and thickness of the spacers mounted between the head and the housing of the
metering unit (see the table). The following metering units are available:

The pump presses the grease into grease channel (1). The grease pushes plunger (4)
past channel (2). The grease now fills chamber (3) and pushes plunger (5) to the
right. The stroke length of plunger (5) will determine the amount of grease that
will be pressed through the secondary grease line to the grease point. This stroke
length - hence the capacity of chamber (3) – is determined by the number and
thickness of the spacers (Fig. 7.2/1).

figure 8.2 Pressure switch

A pressure switch is included in the lubrication system (in the main pipe) to provide
an alarm for too low a pressure in the system during the lubrication cycle.
This switch closes at a pressure of 40 bar, making a connection to earth. If this does
not happen during the lubrication cycle, because insufficient or no grease pressure
is generated, an alarm will be given. During the remaining cycle time there will be
an intermittent alarm signal. This alarm will be repeated after a preset time if the
problem is not corrected.
An M24 screw connector connects the switch electrically.
For a system with a pneumatically operated pump the pressure switch is fitted to a
distribution block. The electrically operated pump is provided with a built-in
pressure switch.

The reservoir (2) is made from impact-resistant plastic that can withstand the
influences of fluctuating temperatures. The reservoir can hold a quantity of
lubricant that in most cases is sufficient for about 4 months, depending on the
number of grease points.
The minimum level (5 cm) is marked by a label (3) on the reservoir.

In the standard reservoir a follower plate is placed above the level of the lubricant
(figure 5.3/1). This plate follows the level of the lubricant; as the level falls the
follower plate falls with it under the action of a tension spring. The follower plate
prevents the increase of air into the lubricant and any consequent soaping of the
lubricant. Funneling of grease as the level falls is also prevented. The follower plate
also wipes the reservoir wall clean. This allows the level of the lubricant to be

figure 9.1 Filling the grease reservoir

When the lubricant in the reservoir has fallen to the minimum level it must be re-
filled. Generally a filler pump is used for this purpose. The procedure (see fig. 9.1)
is as follows:
• With a new filler pump (or filling hose) the hose should first be primed with
lubricant. This avoids the pumping of air into the reservoir. For this the ball (1)
in the snap-on connector on the filler hose should be depressed while
pumping lubricant through the hose until it is filled with the lubricant.
• Remove the dust cap from the filler connector.
• Carefully clean the filler connector and the connector on the filler hose.
• Secure the filler hose to the filler connector.
• Fill the reservoir to not more than the maximum level (2 cm below the top of
the reservoir) or until the follower plate meets its stop.
• Replace the dust cap on the filler connector.
• There is a filter within the filler connector in the reservoir. If pumping is very
difficult the filter could be blocked. In this case, dismantle and clean the filter.
