Automatic lubrication systems deliver controlled quantities of grease or oil to equipment at defined intervals without relying on manual lubrication routes.

Correctly specified systems can improve lubrication consistency, prevent under- and over-lubrication and reduce grease consumption. A key principle is that less lubricant, delivered more frequently, is often better than more lubricant delivered less frequently.

Automatic lubrication is particularly valuable on mining conveyors, crushers, mills, pumps and heavy mobile equipment, where manual greasing can expose technicians to moving machinery and create additional safety considerations.

Systems can potentially pay back within 12–18 months through reduced bearing failures, lower grease consumption and improved lubrication consistency.

LPR specifies, supplies and commissions automatic lubrication systems from proven OEM partners and can integrate them into a wider Total Fluid Management programme.
