Selection of the discharge rate should be established from the following: check the Selection of the discharge rate should be established from the following: check the ambient air temperature where the Greasomatic is to be installed and establish ambient air temperature where the Greasomatic is to be installed and establish the frequency of the previous lubrication method.the frequency of the previous lubrication method.

Ambient air temperature will have an affect on the discharge rate, for example at Ambient air temperature will have an affect on the discharge rate, for example at 1010ºC the Greasomatic will discharge it’s contents at a slower rate than if it were in ºC the Greasomatic will discharge it’s contents at a slower rate than if it were in an ambient air temperature of 20ºC. This means that when the Greasomatic is set an ambient air temperature of 20ºC. This means that when the Greasomatic is set on a 3 month discharge rate it will actually last for approximately 6 months.on a 3 month discharge rate it will actually last for approximately 6 months.

The volume of grease required daily will also be affected by the ambient air The volume of grease required daily will also be affected by the ambient air temperature. For example the Greasomatic working at an ambient air temperature. For example the Greasomatic working at an ambient air temperature of 20ºC and set on a 3 month duration will discharge 1.3ml of temperature of 20ºC and set on a 3 month duration will discharge 1.3ml of lubricant per day after pressurisation. However if the ambient air temperature is lubricant per day after pressurisation. However if the ambient air temperature is 10ºC the discharge of the lubricant is reduced to approximately 0.7ml per day.10ºC the discharge of the lubricant is reduced to approximately 0.7ml per day.

At higher temperatures, such as 30ºC, a setting of 3 months will give a life span of At higher temperatures, such as 30ºC, a setting of 3 months will give a life span of approximately 6 weeks and a lubricant discharge of 2.7ml per day. In other approximately 6 weeks and a lubricant discharge of 2.7ml per day. In other words, the life span of the Greasomatic will be halved and the grease flow will be words, the life span of the Greasomatic will be halved and the grease flow will be doubled.doubled.

A formula to assess the start-up time is as follows: At 20ºC allow 1 day for each month A formula to assess the start-up time is as follows: At 20ºC allow 1 day for each month of the chosen duration setting. At 10ºC allow two days for each month of the chosen of the chosen duration setting. At 10ºC allow two days for each month of the chosen duration setting. For example, a Greasomatic set on 3 months duration at 10ºC will take duration setting. For example, a Greasomatic set on 3 months duration at 10ºC will take approximately 6 days to pressurise and inject lubricant into the application.approximately 6 days to pressurise and inject lubricant into the application.

When the Greasomatic is fitted to bearing housings, it should be noted that bearings When the Greasomatic is fitted to bearing housings, it should be noted that bearings have individual characteristics even though they may all be of the same size and serial have individual characteristics even though they may all be of the same size and serial number. The resistance in each bearing will affect the time taken for the Greasomatic number. The resistance in each bearing will affect the time taken for the Greasomatic to discharge it’s contents into the application. For example, if the resistance in the to discharge it’s contents into the application. For example, if the resistance in the bearing is 1.5 bar, then the Greasomatic will have to achieve a minimum of 2.6 bar bearing is 1.5 bar, then the Greasomatic will have to achieve a minimum of 2.6 bar before the lubricant effectively comes into service. before the lubricant effectively comes into service.

To achieve this pressure at 10ºC would take approximately 5 days if the Greasomatic is To achieve this pressure at 10ºC would take approximately 5 days if the Greasomatic is set on a 1 month duration. Therefore, should the resistance in other bearings be higher set on a 1 month duration. Therefore, should the resistance in other bearings be higher than 1.6 bar, the time taken to pressurise and overcome the resistance will be than 1.6 bar, the time taken to pressurise and overcome the resistance will be somewhat longer. somewhat longer.

The time delay will not have any adverse effect on the bearing due to the application The time delay will not have any adverse effect on the bearing due to the application having been pre-lubricated with a high quality lubricant. This will protect the bearings having been pre-lubricated with a high quality lubricant. This will protect the bearings during the start-up period of the Greasomatic. during the start-up period of the Greasomatic.
