container

The reservoir stores the lubricant from which the pump of a central lubrication system draws. Its size and design determine how long the system can run between refills and how reliably the lubricant is presented to the pump. A reservoir that is too small means frequent topping up; one that does not feed cleanly can let air into the system. DropsA offers reservoirs and tanks for oil and grease, in a range of sizes and with the accessories — level monitoring, drain and filling fittings — that turn a simple container into a dependable supply unit.

The range spans oil tanks such as the large 7-L oil tank for mobile and agricultural machines, pressurised grease reservoirs that keep stiff grease ready and gap-free, and specialised units such as the drain reservoir for collecting hydraulic-cylinder leak oil. Sizes and materials are matched to the medium, the duty and the environment — including UV-resistant materials for outdoor use. The reservoir is more than a container: with the right fittings and a level sensor it becomes a monitored supply unit that keeps the pump fed and warns before it runs empty.

Reservoirs are part of virtually every automatic lubrication system across metalworking and machine building, mobile equipment, packaging and general industry. The right reservoir gives the autonomy the application needs — long intervals between refills in the field, gap-free grease supply on demanding machines, or clean containment of leak oil where housekeeping matters.

A reservoir is selected by the medium (oil or grease), the capacity required for the desired refill interval, the pump it feeds and the environment. Pairing the reservoir with a level switch or sensor adds an early warning before it runs dry, while the right pump and fittings complete a dependable supply side. Our team is happy to advise on the right reservoir for your system.
