Pneumatic systems that transfer petroleum-based lubricants and fluids by harnessing compressed gas are commonly utilized across various industries. These systems provide a method for dispensing fluids from containers or reservoirs to designated lubrication points. They operate by employing a pneumatic motor, which is powered by compressed gas, to drive a pump mechanism. This mechanism then draws fluid from a source and delivers it under pressure through hoses or pipes.
The application of these fluid transfer systems offers significant advantages in scenarios where electrical power is unavailable or hazardous conditions preclude its use. Furthermore, the simplicity of design and robust construction typically result in extended service life and reduced maintenance requirements. Historically, such systems were developed to improve efficiency and safety in industrial lubrication processes, leading to decreased downtime and enhanced equipment reliability.
