FAQ

  • How can I test and/or check if MEMOLUB® PLCD is functioning?

    You can test and/or check whether MEMOLUB® PLCD is working correctly at anytime by powering it OFF and ON again from the PLC. MEMOLUB® PLCD will then expulse once.

    This operation has to be done with a cartridge inside the MEMOLUB® PLCD.

  • What to do if my MEMOLUB® PLCD automatic lubricator is not functioning?

    Make a manual test of MEMOLUB® PLCD by using a MEMO with the three rings in the ring-holder.

    If MEMOLUB® PLCD does not work, check the following:

    • Is the power supply ON?
    • Does the power supply have the right ampliture (24V AC/DC) ?
    • Is there any discontinuity in the wiring?
    • Are there two brass rings inside the ring-holder? If not, no current can feed MEMOLUB® PLCD and this latter will not work. Make sure you insert them correctly as explained in the installation guidelines.

  • What to do when there is no lubricant coming out of my MEMOLUB® PLCD?

    If MEMOLUB® PLCD does function, but no grease comes out of the automatic lubricator check the following:

    • Is there a lubricant cartridge inside the MEMOLUB® PLCD? If not, recharge the unit with a cartridge as described in the installation guidelines.
    • Was the spring mounted correctly inside the transparent housing? If not, please mount it again as described in the installation guidelines.
    • Is the pump of the MEMOLUB® PLCD primed? If the cartridge of MEMOLUB® PLCD was totally emptied before replacement, some air could have been sucked into the system and the pump would cavitate for a certain number of cycles. Place a grease handgun on the suction valve of the red housing and pump grease through the unit as explained in the installation guidelines.

  • What to do when the lubricant cartridge is not emptied correctly?

    If MEMOLUB® PLCD does function but the lubricant cartridge does not empty or not in the predicted timing there might be that of the following issues occurs:

    • The piping is clogged: use a handgun to clear the pipes.
    • One of the outlets of the distributor block has been voluntarily obstructed. Use bridging elements to reduce the number of outlets of a distributor block.
    • The piping is damaged. Replace the piping.
    • Counter pressure at the MEMOLUB® PLCD outlet is higher than 13 bar: please respect the tubbing diameters, tubing lengths, the number of outlets per distribution block and the working temperatures. Also, use fittings with openings larger than 4mm (0.157").
    • At working temperature, the base oil viscosity of the grease is higher than 10.000cSt. Please use low temperature lubricants.

  • What to do when the lubricant does not reach the lubrication point?

    MEMOLUB® PLCD does function and empties correctly, however no lubricant is reaching the lubrication point. Possible causes are:

    • The piping might be damaged, please check and replace if necessary.
    • A fitting is not correctly screwed or sealing is missing, please check and replace or add if necessary.

  • Does MEMOLUB® PLCD needs specific maintenance?

    MEMOLUB® does not require any specific maintenance. When used in humid or dusty atmospheres MEMOLUB® PLCD can be cleaned with compressed air or a slightly humid rag. To clean MEMOLUB® PLCD do not use solvents or plunge unit in any liquid. It is also possible to equip your MEMOLUB® PLCD with a protection cover. For additional information, please contact your local MEMOLUB® dealer.
