A central lubricating station for lubricating one or more machine part(s), comprising:
- a container base adapted for holding at least two replaceable containers, each replaceable container holding at least one type of lubricant;
- one or more pump(s) configured for pumping at least one type of lubricant interchangeably from the at least two replaceable containers to the one or more machine part(s);
- and
- a motor configured for driving the one or more pumps, wherein the container base is configured for transferring lubricant from one replaceable container to another replaceable container, such that lubricant in any of the containers is prevented from sedimenting.
A method for operating a central lubricating station, comprising the steps of:
- providing a central lubrication station comprising at least two replaceable containers, each container holding at least one type of lubricant, and one or more pump(s);
- and
- pumping one type of lubricant to one machine part from one of the at least two containers, such that when the one of the at least two replaceable containers is empty or near empty, pumping is continued from another of the at least two replaceable containers, and such that when the another of the at least two replaceable containers is empty or near empty, pumping is continued from an additional replaceable container.
