How can I find out if a specific lubricant will work in a Trabon Series Progressive system?
We have tested a variety of greases for use in Series Progressive and Injector systems. These test results are available through a local distributor, or by contacting an Applications Engineer at 1-800-USA-LUBE. The first test is to determine if the oil and soap in the grease sample tend to separate when used in a Series Progressive system. Separation can cause the divider valves, lines, fittings, or bearings to become plugged with soap. The second test confirms the lubricant s compatibility with the seal materials used in the LubriSystem and Grease Jockey pumps and injectors and establishes the lowest temperature at which it can be pumped and vented in the LubriSystem or Grease Jockey test system. The tests are conducted under controlled laboratory conditions which may or may not approximate the operating conditions in a particular system. For this reason, the final selection of a lubricant should be based on the machine manufacturer s recommendation plus the machine s operating experi
