Reliable Lubricant Feeding & Supply Systems for Grease, Oil, and Fluid Delivery
Lubrication feeding and supply systems are engineered to transport greases, oils, and other lubricant materials from storage containers — such as drums, pails, cartridges, or tanks — to lubrication points, metering valves, and dispensing equipment. These systems ensure consistent flow and pressure for reliable machine lubrication, maintenance, and production operations.
Our Feeding and Supply Options
Centralized vs. Localized Lubricant Supply
Lubrication can be delivered via:
Centralized Supply Systems
Designed for facilities with multiple lubrication points, centralized systems connect a master reservoir to a network of pumps, regulators, and dispensing valves — providing a single-source lubricant feed that improves consistency and reduces downtime.
Localized Supply Systems
Ideal for isolated or point-specific lubrication needs, localized feed systems use smaller pumps or follower plate setups directly at the point of application. These systems provide on-site material transfer with minimal pressure drop and fast response times.
Drum & Pail Pump Solutions
Kirkco offers robust drum and pail pump systems built to efficiently extract and transfer lubricants of various viscosities:
- Pneumatic Drum Pumps: Air-powered pumps that handle high-viscosity greases and oils with reliable performance.
- Follower Plate Pumps: Maintain consistent pressure on bulk lubricant stock to eliminate air entrainment and ensure smooth feed.
- Cartridge Pumps: Designed for grease and oil cartridges, enabling clean, easy replacement and minimal downtime.
These pump systems are configured for continuous supply and can be paired with pressure control and filtration accessories to tailor delivery performance.
Pneumatic & Positive Displacement Pumps
Kirkco’s lubrication feed systems extend to air-operated pumps and positive displacement pumps, each suited for specific lubrication supply needs:
- Air-Operated Diaphragm Pumps: Best for low to medium viscosity lubricants, self-priming, and dry-run capable for flexible installation.
- Piston & Plunger Pumps: Ideal for higher pressures and thicker greases, delivering a consistent supply even under challenging conditions.
- Low-Pressure Transfer Pumps: Efficiently move lubricant from storage to feed manifolds with minimal pulsation.
These pumps deliver consistent feed to downstream metering and dispensing valves while maintaining fluid integrity.
