1. What is an ILC centralised lubrication system and how does it work?
An ILC centralised lubrication system is an automatic system that distributes grease or oil in a controlled way to multiple lubrication points on a machine or installation.
Instead of manually lubricating each point, the system ensures that the right amount of lubricant is delivered at the right time.
How the system works:
-
Pump → The system starts with an electric, pneumatic, or manual pump.
-
Distributor blocks → The pump sends the lubricant through lines to distributor blocks or injectors.
-
Dosing → These components deliver the exact amount of lubricant needed per point.
-
Automatic cycle → The system can operate continuously or in intervals, depending on the application.
Key benefits of an ILC centralised lubrication system:
-
Lower maintenance costs → No unnecessary waste of grease or oil.
-
Less downtime → Continuous and precise lubrication prevents premature wear.
-
Longer machine lifespan → Less friction means fewer breakdowns.
-
Efficiency → A single system can lubricate dozens of points simultaneously.
Thanks to this functionality, ILC systems are ideal for machine builders, industrial installations, construction machinery, cranes, wheel loaders, agricultural vehicles, and many other applications.
