The TriPlus automatic greasing system
A
Groeneveld
TriPlus automatic greasing system serves each grease point of the vehicle, machine
or installation in sequence, i.e. grease is supplied to the connected grease points one at a time and
one after the other (it is a progressive greasing system).
TriPlus systems are mainly applied on machines with a fixed number of grease points that require
fixed amounts of grease at fixed intervals. This, because the amount of grease that will be supplied
to the individual grease points is governed by the distribution ratios that results from the choice of
doser segment types and the manner in which those segments are combined in distribution blocks.

TriPlus automatic greasing system comprises the following parts (see Figure 1.1):
1.
An electric grease pump (plunger pump) with integrated grease reservoir and a digital
control unit with data storage facility.
2.
One or more distribution blocks (assembled from multiple doser segments).
3.
Primary grease lines between the pump unit and the distribution blocks and interconnecting
the distribution blocks themselves.
4.
Secondary grease lines between the distribution blocks (doser segments) and the individual
grease points.

System overview
Two types of pump units are available:
•
The TriPlus pump
•
The TriPlus
trailer-
pump
The TriPlus pump is applied when the supply voltage needed to power the greasing system is always
available (while the vehicle or machine is in operation). The TriPlus
trailer-
pump is used on pulled
vehicles, where the supply voltage will not (always) be available.
