How BreakAlube works
Experiences with hydraulic hammers shos that 60 seconds is needed in
order to offer the maximum dose of grease. That is why BreakAlube
will automaticly start a greasing cycle, after the hydraulic hammer has
been operating for 60 seconds, in which the preset amount of grease is
discharged at the hydraulic hammer greasing point. The grease quantity,
0.2 cc minimum to 4.0 cc maximum per greasing cycle, can be set in the
Digital Control Unit. The quantity will be both highly accurate and constant,
regardless of the grease temperature or viscosity. This is achieved by
measuring the number of pump element strokes.
A warning light in the cab will alert the operator when grease is low, the
reservoir empty, or when a system error occurs. BreakAlube also allows
automatic hammer deactivation as soon as proper greasing is no longer
warranted (activation upon request).
Security build-in:
To prevent damages to the hydraulic hammer or BreakAlube, the system
features important standard built-in safety provisions.
• BreakAlube will only grease when the hydraulic hammer is in operation.
Greasing an inoperative hammer may cause damage in certain situations
when the hammer is activated.
• BreakAlube cannot build up sufficient pressure in the discharge
line when the grease reservoir is empty or when an external line is
damaged. In that case, a pressure switch will automatically switch off
the pump.
• If the pressure in the grease pump runs too high, e.g. because the
hydraulic hammer is not connected, a built-in safety valve will ensure
that the grease is pumped back into the reservoir Eventually, the
pump will also switch off automatically.
• Whenever an error or failure occurs, a warning light will alert the
operator.
• Optionally, switches off the hammer should proper greasing
not be guaranteed.
Diagnosis
The Digital Control Unit features a memory to store parameter
settings and operational data. The greasing settings can be
changed with a GINA handheld computer, which also allows
you to read out the memory for diagnostic purposes. Pressing
the BreakAlube test button for several seconds allows the
operator to check the cause of any current error during work. The
cause of the error is shown by the flashing warning light in the cab.

Higher operational safety
BreakAlube features a Digital Control Unit that ensures
technically correct and safe completion of the greasing
cycle.
No standstill and repairs due to insufficient or irregular
greasing.
Less greasing costs

after every 60 seconds of operation of the hydraulic
hammer.
• Monitors the discharged quantities of grease and the
working pressure in the system.
• Monitors the integrated overpressure valve.
• Alerts the operator to system errors and low grease.
(blinking light). When the grease reservoir is
completely empty, the light will be on continuously.
• Optionally, switches off the hammer should proper
greasing not be guaranteed.

Less wear
Grease reduces wear of moving parts and effectively
combats moist, dirt and corrosion.

Thanks to greasing during operation and accurate
(temperature-independent) grease dosage, the grease
consumption will on average increase by 50 percent.
Additionally, the grease can be purchased in larger
amounts (drums instead of cartridges) and is therefore
cheaper.
Less environmental impact
Lower grease consumption means fewer pollutants in the
environment. The closed construction and the reservoir
with a follower plate make the Twin particularly suitable
for biologically degradable grease types.

BreakAlube
When the going gets tough
BreakAlube is specifically designed as an automatic greasing system for
hydraulic hammers. BreakAlube offers excellent operational reliability
under the toughest working conditions.
The vital pump parts, including pump element and drive axle bearings, are
extremely strong and can build up working pressures up to no less than 275 bar.
BreakAlube can be used with greases up to NLGI Class 2 including additives such
as graphite and copper.

Groeneveld has developed the
TWIN heavy duty greasing system
especially for the toughest
operating conditions. Twin is a twopipe system that is often applied
to off-road equipment and other
vehicles or machines that usually
operate under tough conditions. A
TWIN heavy duty greasing system
protects throughout the service
life. It is a one-off investment that
amply pays back itself through
lower operating costs and greater
availability of the equipment.
Oilmaster reduces the need
for manually checking the oil
level and topping up between
surface intervals. This innovative
product guarantees carefree
oil management with reduced
maintenance costs, oil consumption,
time loss and environmental impact,
and constant oil quality. Oilmaster is
used in the transport and
off-road sectors and in stationary
installations.
