WDS-I Electric Lubrication Pump For Forage Harvesters

Forage machines (silage harvesters, balers) operate long hours under harsh farm conditions: heavy continuous loads, thick crop dust, wide temperature swings from -40°C to 75°C, and dozens of hard-to-reach lubrication points on cutterheads, augers, walking pivots and drive chainsJohn Deere.... Manual grease gun maintenance creates major pain points: missed lubrication points, rushed servicing during tight harvest windows, premature bearing wear, unplanned downtime and extra labor costs. Our WDS-I piston-type automatic lubrication pump delivers a reliable centralized lubrication solution perfectly tailored to forage equipment.

A European large-scale livestock farm retrofitted 4 self-propelled forage harvesters with WDS-I pumps (DC24V, 4 oil outlets, 8L grease reservoir, low-oil-level sensor and built-in programmable controller). Each pump connects progressive distributors to cover all 32 critical friction points including cutterhead bearings, feeding rollers and chassis hinges.

1. Harsh Environment Adaptability (IP65 Full Sealing) Fully dustproof and waterproof housing blocks grass dust, mud and rainwater, stable for all-day outdoor field operation. The pump works reliably under extreme low/high temperatures (-40℃~75℃), matching year-round forage harvesting demands.
2. 24V DC Power Matching Farm Equipment DC24V power input directly taps the harvester's onboard battery, no extra power wiring needed. Optional AC220V/380V versions are available for stationary balers. Max working pressure 35Mpa ensures smooth grease delivery to long-distance pipeline joints on large harvesters.
3. Fully Automatic Intelligent Lubrication The digital controller allows flexible setting of running time (6s–99.9min) and interval cycle (6min–99.9h). It automatically feeds precise grease volume while the machine works, eliminating human forgetting or uneven manual greasing. A one-touch forced start button supports emergency supplementary lubrication before heavy-duty cutting tasks.
4. Complete Fault Monitoring & Early Warning Built-in multi-protection system covers low oil level alarm, pipeline blockage detection, motor overload and overvoltage/undervoltage protection. Fault codes display instantly on the panel, letting operators quickly locate blocked lines or empty grease tanks without disassembly. Power failure data backup resumes the lubrication cycle after power recovery.
5. Modular Customization & Easy Maintenance 1–5 oil outlets can be configured to match single/multi-row harvesters; displacement and grease tank volume (2L–15L) are optional. The piston and check valve assembly adopts matched paired parts, with simple disassembly steps for on-site farm maintenance. Compatible with 0#–2# agricultural grease, and solid additives like graphite/MoS₂ are prohibited to avoid pipeline clogging in crop dusty environments.

After one full harvest season of continuous use:

• Manual daily lubrication time cut from 40 mins per machine to zero, saving massive labor during tight silage harvesting periods;
• Bearing and pivot wear failure rate dropped by 70%, eliminating unexpected breakdowns in peak working hours;
• Consistent timed lubrication extends service life of cutterhead and drive chain components by over 40%;
• Real-time low-level and blockage alarms avoid dry friction damage, cutting annual maintenance replacement costs significantly.

The WDS-I electric lubrication pump solves core lubrication pain points of forage machines with high pressure, all-weather sealing and intelligent automatic control. It is a cost-effective centralized lubrication upgrade for silage harvesters, round/square balers and other agricultural harvesting equipment, widely applicable to global farming operations.
