RIVI offers several lubrication solutions. automatic and centralized for wind turbines, which allow continuous and efficient operation without the need for frequent intervention. 

Double line system

The dual-line system is one of the best options for demanding working conditions, such as extreme temperatures and dirty or humid environments. This centralized system efficiently delivers lubricant to the lubrication points, enabling effective lubrication. constant and uninterrupted. 

Furthermore, it can be combined with the progressive system for even more precise dosing. Smart version This system allows it to function under certain conditions. Offshore, offering a lifespan of over 30 years. Its maintenance is virtually nonexistent, making it ideal for demanding industrial environments. 

Single line system

The single-line system is an efficient and versatile solution, perfect for lubrication needs where lubrication is required. frequent cycles of small amounts of fat. Each injector in this system is individually actuated and supplies lubricant to a single lubrication point.

This system is highly flexible, allowing for future expansion without complications, and it can be refurbished with automatic grease recovery systems. With a lifespan exceeding 30 years, it is ideal for working conditions in cold environments or offshore.

Multi-line system

The multi-line system is a robust option that guarantees exceptional performance under various conditions. high pressure and extreme temperatures. Its operation is based on a progressive principle, where the lubricant is delivered to the lubrication points by means of pressure-driven pistons, which allows operation to be maintained even in situations of high back pressure. 

This system is easy to control and maintain, ensuring precise lubricant dosage throughout the wind turbine's lifespan. 

Progressive system

The progressive system Quicklub It is ideal for the most demanding equipment. Designed to meet the most restrictive lubrication requirements, its reliability lies in the progressive delivery of lubricant by means of pressure-activated pistons. 

Lubrication occurs in regulated intervals, and its operation adapts to up to three independent circuits. Quicklub It is an affordable, high-quality option that ensures the performance and longevity of wind turbine systems. 

Automatic fat recovery (AGR)

He automatic fat recovery system (AGR) is an innovation that improves efficiency and reduces environmental impact. It allows the grease leaking from bearings to be collected and sent to a centralized container, eliminating the need for traditional plastic bottles. 

This system helps maintain constant pressure within the bearings and ensures continuous lubrication, even under the most extreme conditions. It has a lifespan exceeding 30 years, and annual maintenance is simple and inexpensive.
