Multi-line lubrication systems use a central pump with multiple independent pumping elements, each supplying lubricant directly to its own point. Because each outlet functions independently, a blocked line will not affect the rest of the system. These systems are known for their straightforward design, making them a practical choice for a variety of mobile, agricultural, and light industrial applications.
These systems are particularly suited for installation by the end user. We can support you or your personnel on the various details we have learned resulting in a reliable and durable installation.
We offer multi-line systems exclusively from Groeneveld-BEKA, a global leader in centralized automatic lubrication technology. As an authorized distributor, we supply their latest solutions, including the Groeneveld-BEKA GM and BEKA K-Series, for a range of equipment and lubrication requirements.
Each pumping element operates on its own circuit, meaning a blockage at one outlet will not stop the system from delivering lubricant to the remaining points. This ensures that other critical components continue receiving lubrication without interruption.
Lubricant travels directly from the pump to the lubrication point without passing through additional metering devices or distribution valves. This reduces system complexity, minimizes potential leak points, and improves reliability.
Pumping elements are available in multiple output sizes, allowing each lubrication point to receive the precise amount required for optimal performance. This helps reduce over-lubrication and lubricant waste while ensuring adequate protection.
Engineered for long-term durability, multi-line systems perform reliably in harsh conditions such as construction sites, agricultural fields, industrial plants, and transportation applications. The robust design helps minimize downtime and maintenance requirements.
The Groeneveld-BEKA® GM represents the newest advancement in multi-line lubrication systems, engineered for straightforward installation on mobile equipment such as trucks, trailers, compact construction machinery, and agricultural vehicles. Its capability to handle both oil and grease makes it equally suited for use in light industrial applications.
Top module: the top cover
The top cover comes in 2 versions, the GMA and the GMA+. The GMA is delivered without a control unit, where the GMA+ does.
The control unit allows the user to set the grease interval or the pump via the display and touch pads on the integrated PCA display
Both GMA and GMA+ versions include the gear motor and the main connector.
Oil refilling inlet
At the top of the pump a refilling tube is installed to refill the reservoir with oil.
Central module: the reservoir incl. paddle blade
The reservoir is equipped with a paddle blade which is directly connected to the gear motor. The rotation of the paddle blade minimizes air pockets and grease separation in the reservoir.
Lower module: the pumping element outlets
The GM is available with 3 different amount of outlets, with possibility to use up to 18, 36 or 72 outlets.
There are 6 different pumping elements with push to fit connectors available with varying outputs. The push to fit connection provides an easy installation of the lubrication lines. If an outlet is not required, they can easily be covered with a blanking plug.
Grease refilling inlet
At the bottom of the pump a refilling inlet in installed to refill the reservoir with grease. This inlet avoids the possibility of air entrapment of the grease.

The BEKA K-Series is a range of electromagnetic driven piston pumps with up to 6 lubrication outlets, used to lubricate with oil or fluid greases up to NLGI-0. The complete series contains a variety of different pump types which are preferably used for precise lubrication, like with chain lubrication.
All pumps within the K-Series range are electromagnetically driven. When actuating the magnet, a supply stroke is affected by the piston via the pressure pin and pressure plate inside the pump. Oil or fluid grease is sucked from the reservoir into the metering chambers and pushed into the lines to the lubrication points.
Reservoir
Lubrication systems in the K-Series can be equipped with a plastic reservoir with different capacities, ranging from 0,08 to 4,2 liter. Also, a separate reservoir can be placed on the pump via a separate fitting.
Level monitoring
For all pumps with reservoir a level monitoring is optional.
Pump outlets
Most pumps within the K-Series are available with 1 up to 6 outlets. Each outlet has an output of either 0,025; 0,040 or 0,10 cm³ per stroke.
The K-600PX pumps have 6 outlets as a standard and an output of 0,025 cm3 per stroke and outlet. The special design of the K-600PX enables the possibility to change the number of outlets easily.
