Grease filling filter for automatic lubrication systems
20 June 2018
Part of SKF’s family of filtration products, the Lincoln small grease reservoir filling filter helps minimise contaminants entering automatic lubrication systems during the filling process of smaller-sized reservoirs.

Installed as an inline component in the reservoir’s fill line, the filling filter helps to ensure that clean grease enters the reservoir and the system. As grease enters through the inlet, it passes through the filter and exits into a hose connected to the grease reservoir’s fill port.
As the filter element becomes clogged, the unit’s clogged-indicator pin starts to retract, signalling that filter element cleaning is required. If the clogged filter element is not cleaned, grease will vent safely to a catch container but will not bypass to the reservoir.
The easy-to-install Lincoln small grease reservoir filling filter is available with a 250- or 500-micron, crush-proof filter element, which is simple to clean. It has a fill rate to 8L/min*, and operating pressure of 344 bar (5000 psi). The filter’s compact size makes remote mounting from the reservoir possible.
The device is suitable for off-road construction, small mining equipment, general industry, wind energy, over-the-road trucking, construction and agricultural applications.
