Industrial lubrication pumps from DropsA: precision, reliability & innovation

DropsA Germany is your specialist for industrial lubrication pumps and Central lubrication systems for the highest demands in industry. Our modern ones Lubrication pumps - from Electric pumps for fully automatic processes up to Hand pumps for targeted, manual applications – ensure optimal, precise and reliable lubrication of your machines, systems and production lines.

No matter if you Gear pumps for continuous, uninterrupted operation or Hydraulic pumps for high-pressure lubrication circuits - with DropsA you will always find the optimal solution. Our powerful Pneumatic pumps and Barrel pumps are particularly designed for conveying lubricating oil and grease in harsh, industrial environments.

Use ours Multiple output pumps for central supply of several lubrication points or Single point lubricator for individual positions with special needs. All DropsA products are characterized by the highest quality, durability and extremely low-maintenance operation - for maximum efficiency and minimal downtime.

Industrial lubrication pumps from DropsA – Made in Italy, developed for Germany.

Control units for central lubrication systems

The control unit is the link between the lubrication pump, the distributors and the plant control: it triggers the lubrication cycles, supervises operation and reports faults. Without it, an automatic system runs blind; with it, lubrication happens on a defined schedule, every cycle is checked, and a missed cycle, a pressure loss or an empty reservoir raises an alarm before it causes damage. DropsA offers control units from compact single-machine controllers to units for large dual-line plants, so the right level of control and monitoring can be matched to the system.

The product families at a glance

The VIP5 is a versatile controller with operating modes, level and pressure monitoring and a coded remote alarm; the VIP5 PRO extends this to dual-line and three-phase systems, including an ATEX version. The FACT Controller (FLOWMASTER II) provides modular, expandable flow monitoring for many devices, and Track-Lube adds dedicated control for rail and wheel-flange lubrication. Together they cover the spectrum from a single machine to a large, monitored installation.

Applications & industries

Control units are used wherever lubrication has to be timed, supervised and documented — metalworking and machine building, packaging, heavy industry and general plant. They are essential on automated and high-availability machinery, where reliable timing and an early warning of a lubrication fault prevent costly downtime.

Your advantages

Triggers lubrication cycles on a defined schedule
Supervises operation and reports faults with a coded alarm
Level and pressure monitoring built in
Range from single-machine controllers to dual-line and flow-monitoring units
ATEX and application-specific versions available

Selection guidance

The right control unit is selected by the system type (single-line, progressive or dual-line), the monitoring required (cycle, pressure, level, flow), the number of devices and any special requirements such as ATEX or flow control. The VIP5 covers most single-machine systems; the VIP5 PRO handles dual-line and three-phase; the FACT Controller manages large, expandable flow monitoring. Fed by sensors and driving the pump, the control unit closes the loop on the lubrication system. Our team is happy to advise.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about control units

What does the control unit do?
It triggers the lubrication cycles, supervises operation and reports faults — the link between the pump, the distributors and the plant control.
What can it monitor?
The lubrication cycle, the system pressure and the reservoir level, raising a coded alarm if a fault occurs.
What is the difference between the VIP5 and VIP5 PRO?
The VIP5 suits most single-machine systems; the VIP5 PRO extends control to dual-line and three-phase systems, with an ATEX version available.
Which unit is used for flow monitoring?
The FACT Controller (FLOWMASTER II) provides modular, expandable flow monitoring for many devices.
How is the right control unit selected?
By the system type, the monitoring required, the number of devices and any special requirements such as ATEX or flow control.
