SKF Multilube-central lubrication system SKF Multilube system is a single- or dual-line (Heavy- or Twinheavy) central lubrication system, in which the lubricant is pumped through piping to the dosers. Dosers feed the pre- set amount of lubricant to the lubrication points.
SKF Multilube pumping unit General description The pumping unit is designed for pumping lubricant into central lubrication system. Design Pumping unit comprises of a body (pos. 1) and a lubricant reservoir (pos. 2). The body comprises of a pump element (pos. 3), an electric motor (pos. 4), a line valve (pos.
Operation When pressurization begins, the control starts the pump and opens the line valve. In pres- sure switch operation the pump stops, when the pressure switch closes and restarts, when the pressure switch opens. After the set pressurization time, the control stops the pump and pressure discharges from the line to the lubricant reservoir.

Caution Filter (15) of the filling connector has to be cleaned regularly and replaced if necessary.

Removing air from the pumping unit Remove air from the pumping unit, if there is air mixed with the lubricant e.g. in connection with the filling of the lubricant reservoir. Removing air from the pumping unit: 1. Disconnect the main line connections. 2.

B-doser groups, Heavy-system General description Note Numbers in brackets are part numbers of drawings 461780 in the page 16. A doser group consists of a mounting rail (pos. 1) and one or several dosers (pos. 2) fas- tened to it. The mounting rail divides the lubricant to the dosers, which feed the adjusted amount of lubricant to the lubrication points.
Adjustments Adjustments of B6-doser 1. Turn open the pipe connector of the doser’s lubrication piping outlet. 2. Turn open the locking nut in the upper part of the doser. 3. Adjust the dosage by turning the adjustment screw located above the locking nut. 4.

SMG-dosers, Twinheavy-system General description SMG-2 doser feeds the preset amount of lubricant to one to eight (1 – 8) lubrication points. Design The doser includes a disk valve (pos. 1) and a dosage cylinder (pos. 3) which is equipped with sealed piston (pos.
Dosers with one outlet The doser with two outlets is modified to doser with one outlet by removing the disk valve and the lubrication outlet connection and replacing them with blocking plug (pos. 7). During normal sequential operation, doser with one outlet feeds the lubricant in turns to lubrication outlet connection and to one of the main lines.

Setting of the lubrication system Press SET-button for 15 seconds in normal operation mode until the LED-signals 1 and 2 begin to flash quickly.
3. Check that lubricant comes out of the lubrication pipes and hoses. 4. Connect the lubrication pipes and hoses to the lubrication points. If lubricant does not come out of lubrication pipes or hoses, see Multilube / Troubleshooting. B-dosers Steps 1.
Note that in addition to the application, also operating temperature, rotation speed and operating environment are relevant factors in choosing the lubricant. For more information on pumping of different lubricants, contact Oy SKF Ab.
