Precisely filling gearboxes with grease – nearly complete emptying of the drum

In industrial applications, small quantities of gear oil must be filled directly into gearboxes. The previous manual filling process often resulted in inaccurate dosing and fluctuating fill levels.

Solution
F 430 S drum pump with mechanical seal, F 457 commutator motor, FMO 102 flow meter, FLUXTRONIC® evaluation electronics and FSV 100 switching amplifier

Task

Dose various small quantities of gear oils, with preset volumes, directly into different gearboxes. Filling takes place at multiple workstations and must be performed with precision and reproducibility.

Requirements
  • Precise dosing of small amounts of oil  
  • Direct filling into gearboxes  
  • Repeatable dispensing of quantities at each workstation 
Solution in Detail

A semi-automatic filling system featuring the F 430 S drum pump, F 457 motor, FMO 102 flow meter, and FLUXTRONIC® enables volume presetting. Filling begins at the push of a button and stops automatically once the target volume is reached.

Result
