How BreakAlube works
Experiences with hydraulic hammers shos that 60 seconds is needed in
order to offer the maximum dose of grease. That is why BreakAlube
will automaticly start a greasing cycle, after the hydraulic hammer has
been operating for 60 seconds, in which the preset amount of grease is
discharged at the hydraulic hammer greasing point. The grease quantity,
0.2 cc minimum to 4.0 cc maximum per greasing cycle, can be set in the
Digital Control Unit. The quantity will be both highly accurate and constant,
regardless of the grease temperature or viscosity. This is achieved by
measuring the number of pump element strokes.
A warning light in the cab will alert the operator when grease is low, the
reservoir empty, or when a system error occurs. BreakAlube also allows
automatic hammer deactivation as soon as proper greasing is no longer
warranted (activation upon request).

Security build-in:
To prevent damages to the hydraulic hammer or BreakAlube, the system
features important standard built-in safety provisions.
• reakAlube will only grease when the hydraulic hammer is in operation.
B
Greasing an inoperative hammer may cause damage in certain situations
when the hammer is activated.
• reakAlube cannot build up sufficient pressure in the discharge
B
line when the grease reservoir is empty or when an external line is
damaged. In that case, a pressure switch will automatically switch off
the pump.
• f the pressure in the grease pump runs too high, e.g. because the
I
hydraulic hammer is not connected, a built-in safety valve will ensure
that the grease is pumped back into the reservoir Eventually, the
pump will also switch off automatically.
• henever an error or failure occurs, a warning light will alert the
W
operator.
• ptionally, switches off the hammer should proper greasing
O
not be guaranteed.

Diagnosis
The Digital Control Unit features a memory to store parameter
settings and operational data. The greasing settings can be
changed with a GINA handheld computer, which also allows
you to read out the memory for diagnostic purposes. Pressing
the BreakAlube test button for several seconds allows the
operator to check the cause of any current error during work. The
cause of the error is shown by the flashing warning light in the cab.
