About the company

Cenlub Industries Limited was incorporated in 1992. They are engaged in automatic lubrication system business.

The company designs, manufactures and supplies Centralized Lubrication System.

What is an Automatic Lubrication System?

Automatic Lubrication System (ALS) is also known as Centralised Lubrication System. It is a mechanical setup that delivers precise amounts of lubricant to machinery parts at set intervals. This maintains equipment efficiency, reduces wear, and extends lifespan by preventing friction and manual lubrication needs.

Basic components of the ALS:

1. Timer/Controller: Activates the system, controlling lubrication schedules.
2. Reservoir & Pump: Stores and delivers lubricant to machine parts.
3. Supply Line: Connects pump to metering valves/injectors.
4. Metering Valves/Injectors: Dispenses lubricant to specific points.
5. Feed Lines: Connects metering valves/injectors to machine parts.

Application areas of Automatic Lubrication System:

– Machine Tools – Packaging Equipments – Textile Machines – Presses & Hammers – Pulp & Paper Processing M/cs – Food Processing Equipments – Cement Plants – Pharmaceuticals Machines – Mining & Const. Equipments – Metal Forming Machines

– Printing Machines – Calendaring Machines – Injection/Blow Moulding Machines – Shearing & Press Brakes – Sugar Plants – Rubber Mixing Machiness – Earthmoving & Mining – Sheet Metal Working Machines – Fertilizer Plants – Die Casting Equipments

Advantages of using ALS:

• Appropriate Oil Consumption
• Variable Oil Dosages
• Enhanced Machine Life
• Elimination of Human Error
• Increased Reliability
• Increased Production
• Low Noise Level
• Less Power Consumption
• Less Wear & Tear
• SAFE, No Need to stop M/c
• Reduced Spares/Inventory Costs
• Overall Increased Profitability
