CompAlube: based onexperienceGroeneveld's automatic greasing systems

have a worldwide track record. Thirty-

five years of expertise have gone into the

latest generation of greasing systems,

CompAlube. This innovative system is

Groeneveld's answer to the increasing

demand for greasing systems for modern

vehicles with a limited number of

greasing points.

CompAlube can be used on trucks,

trailers and loaders, but also on lighter-

duty industrial machines such as lift

trucks and sweepers. Even if a vehicle or

machine has only a few greasing points -

such as kingpins and the steering

linkages in a modern truck - with

CompAlube automatic greasing will

always remain cost-effective. CompAlube

is the best economical greasing system -

providing the quality and the reliability

that have made Groeneveld products

stand out for many years already.

Grease reservoirThe grease is stored in a flexible

cartridge that collapses as the quantity

of grease held reduces. The cartridge

sits under a transparent cover for easy

visual check of the remaining grease

supply so empty cartridges can be

replaced easily without dirtying one's

hands. A special CompAlube model is

available with filler plug that allows a

grease refill of the cartridge. Filler plugs

cannot be installed on CompAlube

systems already supplied.

Integrated concept All CompAlube components, i.e. the pump,

control unit, distribution block, metering

units, and the exchangeable refillable

grease cartridge have been integrated

within one compact housing. This has not

only reduced the cost price of the product,

but has also reduced installation costs.

Comfort, reliability, costreductionCompAlube offers all benefits of automatic

greasing. Frequent, controlled greasing

results in minimum grease consumption

and maximum greasing efficiency. The

direct result: less wear and seals that

remain in perfect condition. What do you

get out of it? Lower operational costs due

to reduced maintenance and downtime,

and extended life of your vehicles and

machines.

Unquestionably a sensibleinvestmentCompAlube is a quality product with a high

return on investment. For vehicles and

machines with a limited number of grease

points, for which CompAlube was

specifically developed, it is certainly a

sensible investment.

Simple installation and easymaintenanceAs CompAlube consists of one unit only, it

is very easy to install. The unit is supplied

with the required number of metering

units and already pre-assembled though

more metering units can easily be added

later if needed. As soon as the electrical

power or compressed air supply and the

grease points have been connected, the

system will be operational.

The grease cartridge is easy to replace

cleanly, which contributes to simple and

efficient maintenance. A special

CompAlube model also enables refills,

although the use of a new grease cartridge

will always guarantee the right quality

grease. With the convenient and easy-to-

read CompAlube grease pressure indicator,

checks will not take any extra driver time.

Cost-efficient • quick and easy to install

• replaceable/refillable grease cartridges

• lower grease consumption

• less downtime

• quick return on investment

Compact and yet completeThe CompAlube greasing system includes

the following components:

• pump unit

• control unit

• integrated distribution block with

metering units

• replaceable/refillable grease cartridges

• grease pressure monitoring

• mounting hardware

Operating principle 0-greaseCompAlube with electronictimerThe CompAlube with electronic timer has

an greasing interval time that can be set

from 90 to 180 minutes. At the end of the

interval time, the control valve is opened

electrically, actuating the pump via

compressed air. The pump piston pushes

the grease into the metering units, which

dispense a pre-set quantity of grease to

the connected grease points. At the end

of the cycle, the piston returns to its

initial position and CompAlube is ready

for the next greasing cycle.

of the cycle, the pump is switched off and

the grease pressure released, after which

the CompAlube is ready again for the

next greasing cycle. An integrated grease

pressure switch monitors the pressure

build-up during a cycle and a warning

light in the cab will alert the driver or

operator when there is insufficient grease

pressure.

Optimum lubrication for the best protection

Y O U R E F F I C I E N C Y I S O U R C H A L L E N G E

Automatic greasing systemGreenLube greaseA quality lubricant is important to ensure

the maximum availability of your vehicle or

machine. You can prevent a great deal of

wear and tear by regularly lubricating with

the right amount of grease. Proper lubrica-

tion will also prevent repair costs and

unnecessary breakdowns. Though if done

manually it will cost a great deal

of time and energy.

With an automatic greasing system from

Groeneveld you can be certain that under

all operating conditions, the right amount

of grease is always applied, so your vehi-

cle or machine has maximum protection

against pollutants and mois-

ture. This lubricant is

extremely important as it

prevents metal-to-metal

contact between

the component

parts requiring

lubrication. At

the same time, it

must protect the

moving parts of

your vehicle or

machine against

corrosion by forming a protective

collar around the grease point, pre-

venting penetration by pollutants and

moisture.

What requirements must a lubricant meet?The most important requirements are:

• It must be highly uniform: i.e., oil and soap

must not separate whether under high

pressure or if it has been in the system for

an extended period of time.

• It must be highly capable of being

pumped through small diameter

pipes over considerable distances,

whilst being exposed to great

temperature variations.

• It must possess excellent ‘smear qualities’,

as under extreme stress, it must be able to

prevent metal-to-metal contact (EP stan-

dard) and should form a collar to offer

protection against corrosion.

The right lubricantChoosing the right lubricant is very impor-

tant. GreenLube lubricants from Groeneveld

offer the following advantages:

• excellent ‘pumpability’, even at low

temperatures;

• high degree of water resistance;

• resistance to heavy (load) stresses;

• excellent corrosion protection;

• no heavy metals contained.

These grease types are available in 18 kg, 50

kg or 180 kg barrels.

For several decades already, Groeneveld

greasing systems have proved to be

highly effective – particularly the single-

line 0-grease systems with pneumatic or

electrical pump. In the transportation

sector and the industries, Groeneveld

0-grease systems are the leading

systems.

Automatic greasing systems

automatically grease every greasing

point in a vehicle or machine, they monitor

the greasing process and keep the driver or

operator informed. Investments in automatic

greasing provide immediate return with

reduced operational costs and less equipment

downtime.

As the pre-eminent specialist in the field,

Groeneveld adds value to automatic greasing.

Groeneveld greasing systems are

characterized by their robust construction,

easy installation and practical monitoring and

diagnosis features. Automatic greasing

perfectly fits the trend for longer service

intervals and lower maintenance costs.

The application of Groeneveld systems will

also ensure superior reliability and the

quickest return on investment.

System monitoringThe pump-mounted grease pressure indicator

enables visual checks to ensure proper system

operation.

Systems using an electronic timer or PLC

control can be fitted with a minimum level

switch. The user will then be warned as soon as

the grease has reached the minimum level, e.g.

by a dash-mounted warning light or a buzzer.

Grease can be added to the grease reservoir

with a manual or pneumatically operated filler

pump.

GreasesThe correct grease enhances the effect of

automatic greasing. It is essential that the

greasing properties of the grease match the

application in the best possible manner.

With Greenlube, Groeneveld will ensure that

this is the case. Greenlube is a specially

developed series of 0-greases, in which the

best properties of the various greases

have been combined.

Greenlube greases are available in pails

and drums from 18 to 200 kg.

Professional installation Groeneveld automatic greasing systems are

supplied as complete installation kits per

vehicle type or – for industrial application –

as customized kits based on the number of

The benefits of automaticgreasingAutomatic greasing offers a wealth of benefits

that make your investment more than just

sensible – even with modern generations of

vehicles.

Less wear

Grease reduces the wear of moving parts and

provides an effective barrier against moisture

and dirt. It also protects these parts against

corrosion.

Greasing during operation

In comparison to manual greasing, automatic

greasing offers major benefits. With automatic

greasing, small quantities of grease are

injected at regular intervals while the machine

is in full operation. This results in the best

possible grease distribution across the bearing

surface, constant and good sealing and

substantially lower grease consumption.

Lower greasing costs

Automatic greasing reduces preventive

maintenance costs. Due to greasing during

operation and the accurate and temperature-

independent metering of the grease in every

greasing cycle, grease consumption will reduce.

Also, the grease can be purchased in larger

quantities (pails/drums instead of cartridges),

i.e. cheaper.

Comfort

Greasing points on vehicles and machines

are not always easily accessible. Automatic

greasing relieves drivers, operators and service

mechanics from the dirty – and sometimes

even unsafe – manual greasing for once and

for all.

Lower maintenance costs

Replacement or servicing of wear-sensitive

parts is reduced to a minimum. Longer life of

expensive parts results in a higher residual

value of the vehicle or machine.

Increased reliability

Downtime or repairs as a result of insufficient

or irregular greasing are a thing of the past.

More environmentally friendly

Reduced grease consumption results in a

reduction of environmental waste.

It is also possible to use the system with

greases that do not contain graphite,

molybdenum or Teflon, because grease used

in automatic greasing systems does not need

any ‘emergency running’ properties. Because

of the closed construction of Groeneveld

0-grease systems and the use of a reservoir

with follower plate, the systems are ideal for

use with biodegradable greases.

Operating principleThe pump transfers the grease under pressure to

the metering blocks with the metering units via

the main line. The metering units dispense a

pre-set amount of grease per greasing cycle,

depending on the model. The grease is then

moved under pressure through the secondary

lines to the greasing points. Expansion of the

number of greasing points is easy; just install

additional metering blocks or add metering

units to the metering blocks already installed.

The metering units are made of stainless

steel. Because of their closed construction,

they are highly suitable for dirty or dusty

environments. The secondary lines are either

high-pressure hoses or thick-walled plastic or

steel tubes.

Adjustable greasing cycleDepending on the availability of constant

voltage, a 0-grease system is fitted with an

electronic timer or a brake counter. With

larger industrial systems, it is also possible

to use PLCs. In systems using an electronic

timer, the timer determines the interval

and the duration of the greasing cycle.

The timers are available with interval times

between 5 minutes and 50 hours and can be

adjusted with increments between 5 and 300

minutes. All timers have been fitted with a

readable memory and a buzzer or switch

contact alarm.

Brake counter systems are available as fully

pneumatic and electric/pneumatic model

types.

On drawn equipment, such as trailers and

semi-trailers, brake counters are used.

The interval is adjustable and is related to the

number of brake actions.

Grease reservoir with follower plateThe pump comes with a follower plate with

draw spring in the grease reservoir as a

standard feature.

The draw spring ensures that the follower

plate follows the grease level.

The application of a follower plate offers

major benefits:

• it prevents grease oxidation because

there is no air contact

• it prevents condensation to mix

with the grease

• it prevents funnelling; all grease is used up

• the reservoir wall remains clear, allowing

easy visual level checks

The benefits of automaticgreasingAutomatic greasing is essential for

machines that have to perform

continuously and reliably under severe

operating conditions.

Less wear

Grease reduces the wear of moving parts

and provides an effective barrier against

moisture, dirt ingress and corrosion.

Greasing during operation

With automatic greasing, small

quantities of grease are injected at

regular intervals whilst the machine is in

full operation.

This results in:

• the best possible grease distribution

across the bearing surface

• a continuous grease seal around the

bearing

• substantially lower grease

consumption.

Lower greasing costs

Due to automatic greasing during

operation with accurate and temperature-

independent metering, average grease

consumption can be reduced in

comparison to manual greasing. Also, the

grease can be purchased in larger

quantities (pails/drums instead of

cartridges), making it more cost-effective.

Comfort

Grease points are not always easily

accessible. Automatic greasing relieves

drivers, operators and service engineers

from the dirty – and sometimes unsafe –

manual greasing once and for all.

Lower maintenance costs

Reduced wear provides longer life and a

higher residual value of the vehicle or

machine.

Increased reliability

No downtime or repairs as a result

of insufficient or irregular manual

greasing.

More environmentally friendly

Reduced grease consumption means a

reduction of waste materials ending up in

the environment. The system uses greases

that do not contain graphite,

molybdenum or Teflon, because grease

used in automatic greasing systems does

not need any ‘emergency running’

properties. Because of its closed

construction and the reservoir with

follower plate, TWIN is ideal for use with

biodegradable greases.

TWIN, the very best inautomatic greasing A TWIN system consists of a plunger

pump, a network of main lines to the

distribution blocks and secondary pipes to

the grease points. The grease is pumped

to the blocks via a dual network of main

lines. The metering units provide the exact

amounts of grease to each of the grease

points. The pump does not switch off until

the pressure in all metering units has

reached a minimum of 100 bar. As a result

the right amount of grease is always

supplied to each grease point, irrespective

of counter-pressure, temperature or

thickness of the grease, and at ambient

temperatures down to minus 25 °C.

Accurate operationThe metering units always provide the

exact amount of grease to the grease

points. The start and the duration of the

greasing cycle is determined by an

electronic timer. The interval time can be

set with the selection switch supplied.

Grease reservoir follower plateThe TWIN system comes with a follower

plate with draw spring in the grease

reservoir as a standard feature. The

application of a follower plate offers

major benefits:

• it prevents grease oxidation because

there is no air contact

• it prevents water condensation mixing

with the grease

• it prevents funnelling and all grease is

consumed

• the reservoir wall remains clear,

allowing easy visual level checks

Once the minimum grease level has been

reached, this is indicated by a warning

light or a buzzer (option). Grease can be

added with a manual or pneumatically

operated filler pump.

Electronics for additional securityThe integrated control unit checks and

verifies pump operation and the cycle of

the greasing process. The standard

warning light or the display will indicate

low grease or errors, enabling easy

verification of correct system operation by

the driver or operator. Also, TWIN has its

own memory that can be read out with a

laptop computer or a diagnostics device.

This allows service engineers to double-

check whether the system has operated

correctly. Diagnostic software enables
