Typically, the production of a single vehicle will involve over 150 grease and oil applications. Depending on the specific car model, there can be even more. The purpose of lubrication is the reduction of friction, noise prevention, component durability and the general smooth running of a vehicle. Each application carries a unique set of parameters and so the designing of a metering system always needs to take What is the available time frame for the application? the production line? In order to match the specified criteria in each and every case, the following key factors must be carefully analysed and incorporated into the system design:A metering system usually consists of three main monitoring and control.

Material feedingA reliable supply of grease 06 · DOPAG · LUBRILINE
DOPAG · LUBRILINE · 07If we want to achieve perfect results with grease and oil metering, it is important that our material be pumped efficiently and without air pockets (air bubbles). An uninterrupted and reliable material supply is absolutely essential to achieve that. With every application, the selection of an optimum feeding system must consider factors such as material properties, process parameters and container size. The DOPAG product portfolio offers an extensive range of solutions for fluid metering, including drum pumps, transfer pumps and pressure tanks. All DOPAG feeding systems rely on the proven technology of piston or gear pumps.

Tandem pumpsMany applications require an uninterrupted material feed maintained at all times. For such cases, all DOPAG pump models are available as a tandem version. Tandem pumps feature an automatic mechanism that switches between the pumps whenever material level is low, so that container change can proceed without interruption and time pressure. With clean handling and minimal material residue left in the drum, DOPAG pumps have earned their place in the most efficient production lines around the world. All sizes are available as tandem versions.10 · DOPAG · LUBRILINE
Depending on the application type, it may be useful to be using a transfer pump. DOPAG transfer pumps are doubleacting pumps with a fast-switching air motor. It should be noted that the use of transfer pumps is always dependent on the material properties and the container type.Product featuresFlow rate up to 1.0/6.0 litres/minute at 20 double strokesPressure ratio up to 21:1/36:1Sealing available in various sizes and material finishesTransfer pumps for direct supply from 11
Pressure tanks Thin fluids delivered effortlesslyLow-viscosity media such as oils can be delivered to the point of application directly from pressure tanks by means of compressed air. The tanks can serve either as buffer storage within a metering system or as the main system supply. They are available in various sizes and with options, to accommodate different application requirements. With visual level indicators and electric level sensors, you will always be aware how much material is left in the tank.
