SKF Grease injection system
Grease injecting lubrication system type GVP
for moving conveyor chain pins and rollers

The grease injecting lubrication system GVP
has been developed to lubricate conveyor
chains fitted with grease nipples. The lubrication process is automatically performed while
the chain keeps moving. There is no production slow down.
The lubricant is injected under pressure
directly into the chain pins and/or rollers.
The injected volumetric metered quantity of
lubricant is adjustable. It remains independent
from lubricant viscosity and from any back
pressure due to the pin or roller type.
There is a large range of conveyor chains and
and different operating conditions. Therefore,
the GVP unit is often the result of a close
collaboration – development, installation,
commissioning – between the user and SKF.

This helps to ensure that the GVP unit meets
the user’s requirements.
GVP units are used in many industrial sectors
around the world:
•t car industry,
•t food industry,
•t iron and steel industry,
•t surface treatment, sawmills, mines...

Advantages
•t less conveyor downtime resulting in less
maintenance by personnel,
•t longer service life of the chain,
•t very easy installation thanks to its aluminium profile frame,

•t reduction of environmental pollution,
which was the result of excessive lubricant
consumption,
•t controlled injection frequency,
•t full automatic lubrication cycles with the
programmable control and monitoring unit
AEP2-GV, and
•t analysis of the chain state during the lubrication process with the software Visiolub.
