The SKF e-pump is an electrically driven barrel pumping unit aimed at applications where a larger pumping capacity is required. It fits directly onto standard size drums. It was developed to address the need for a centralised unit that will perform optimally in remote areas where electrical supply is more readily available than compressed air. Examples are in mining applications or other heavy industrial applications where a taxing working environment results in large volumes of grease usage.
The unit creates up to 250 bar pressure and 55 g/min lubricant output. Accessories are available for 18, 50 and 180 kg barrels. Pumping elements with heating capability as well as internal temperature measurement offer a wide temperature range over which NLGI 00 to NLGI 2 greases can be pumped, depending on configuration.
As a 24 V DC standalone unit, the pump is able to serve a total loss single line (progressive or parallel) lubrication system. When the electrical barrel pump is operated in conjunction with a 220 V AC SKF control centre from the Muurame family and electrical valve assemblies, it can serve single channel or multichannel (up to 14 channels), single line parallel or progressive and dual line systems.
