Regulations and what they mean
The economics of automatic lubrication on a mobile machine cannot be calculated from grease consumption — it is too small. It pays through downtime, bearing replacements and resale value.
| Position | Manual | Automatic |
|---|---|---|
| labour per greasing round | machine stands, operator works through the points | eliminated |
| grease consumption | higher — the surplus escapes | metered per point |
| bearing replacement | early, through dirt and skipped points | design life is more likely reached |
| unplanned downtime | in the field, often off-road | markedly rarer |
| resale value | the wear pattern shows in resale | documented lubrication is a selling point |
The calculation that actually carries
For a machine working in the field the costliest item is not the part but the standing time on site: travel, recovery, waiting, downstream work stopped. Avoid one such incident a year and the system is usually paid for. The second item is overlooked: escaped grease is paid for and useless — over a fleet a real sum, and a disposal issue on top.
To clarify before investing: number of points and demand per point; the lowest start-up temperature; the available energy (12 or 24 V on-board, or the hydraulic circuit); and the existing grease with its thickener type, which decides miscibility at the changeover.
