Before : Each production line had his dedicated extrusion pump in order to lubricate the bearings,

these pumps were situated very close to the operator. A total of 13 packages one per production line were necessary to insure each of the grease job of the bearings.

After : Roger FRAPPREAU (Anjou Pompes Bécot sa) has offered a centralised grease process, Packages dedicated for 200 Kg drums, to feeding a high pressure piping network distributing a regulated amount of grease at each production line. The new system is composed of an Electrical Control Box controlling all the low level alarms for the drums, assures the relay from an empty drum to switch automatically to a filled drum.
