PROGRESSIVE FEEDER

Progressive feeders are lubricant distributors in centralized lubrication systems. While piston distributors discharge a metered quantity of lubricant to the lube points almost simultaneously during the run time (lube routine), progressive feeders deliver the lubricant fed to them during the run time to the lube points in sequence (one after each other) and in the ratios of the individual metered volumes of each section. Here too, as with piston distributors, each outlet port of a feeder can supply only one respective lube point with lubricant.
