Grease Level indicators for level control

In automated lubrication and dispensing systems, the continuous monitoring of the lubricant supply is a critical safety function. Grease level indicators provide precise detection of the fill level within the container or reservoir. They reliably prevent air from being sucked into the system when the lubricant supply runs low. Consequently, these components protect the entire tribological chain from dry running, cavitation, and time-consuming bleeding processes.

Grease level indicators usually operate as electromechanical or sensory monitors that detect the position of the follower plate or the physical level of the medium. Upon reaching a defined minimum level, the indicator generates a signal that can be transmitted directly to the system controller (PLC). This enables timely warning messages for maintenance personnel or – in critical applications – the automatic shutdown of the system to prevent damage to pumps and dispensing elements.
 

Technical Overview of Our Product Solution

Manufactured for heavy-duty industrial use, designed for combination with ABNOX delivery pumps and follower plates. Our grease level indicators are characterized by robust switching mechanics and high repeatability. They are available for various container sizes and are easy to install. Thanks to the clear signal output, empty states can be managed proactively before they affect production.

• Precision Switching Contacts: 
  Reliable signal transmission even with high switching cycles and under the influence of vibration.
• Robust Housing Design: 
  Protection against splash water, dust, and chemical influences from lubricant additives (in accordance with common IP protection ratings).
• Simple Adjustment: 
  Switching points can be adjusted as needed to minimize residual quantities in the container while maintaining process reliability.
• Compatibility: 
  Optimized for integration into ABNOX pump stations, lifting systems, and protective containers.

The use of ABNOX grease level indicators transforms manual visual inspections into automated process monitoring. This is essential, particularly in large-scale plants or hard-to-reach machine areas. By signaling container changes in a timely manner, unplanned downtime is reduced, and it is ensured that dispensing and lubrication processes run without interruption at constant pressure and volume.
