TTV - Zentralschmiertechnik centralized lubrication systems and spare parts

Engineering hub of Techno Trans Vertriebs-GmbH (TTV) in Mettmann and Trabon systems

Founded in 1988 in Mettmann, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, Techno Trans Vertriebs-GmbH (operating under the brand TTV - Zentralschmiertechnik) specializes in the engineering, assembly, and technical support of centralized lubrication systems.

Since its inception, the company has built its core competency around Trabon progressive lubrication systems deployed across machine tools, food processing plants, and heavy manufacturing lines.

Alongside Trabon progressive manifolds, TTV manufactures and distributes its own dual-line divider series TTZV and TTSG, electric and pneumatic pump stations EZP and EPA, and serves as the regional representative for Adams Lube Tech and Trico Corporation in Germany and Austria.

The Mettmann warehouse maintains extensive inventory of metering segments, pump elements, and valves for international industrial clients.

Architecture of Trabon MSP, MXP, and MGO progressive dividers: volumetric cycle monitoring

In Trabon progressive lubrication systems, the entire lubricant volume delivered by the pump is sequentially apportioned across the spool segments of the master and secondary dividers.

Each piston segment initiates its stroke only after the preceding piston has completed its full displacement cycle, meaning a blockage at any friction point immediately halts the entire divider bank and triggers an indicator pin or proximity switch.

Modular MSP (0.082 to 1.311 cm³ per outlet) and MXP (0.410 to 4.917 cm³) dividers mount onto segmented baseplates, allowing technicians to swap individual metering valves without disconnecting primary piping.

High-output sectional MGO dividers (2.048 to 19.668 cm³) serve heavy presses and crushers, while compact monoblock BVP (0.13 cm³) and sectional MJ (0.081 to 0.491 cm³) manifolds handle tight machine spaces.

Centralized lubrication pump stations across EZP, G3, Modu-Flo, and Meterflo gear units

Selecting a TTV pump assembly depends on lubricant viscosity, piping distance, and bearing backpressure.

Electric piston grease pumps across the EZP series generate operating pressures up to 250 bar, feature 2, 5, or 10 kg reservoirs with low-level switches, and accommodate one, two, or three independent pumping elements for mineral oil or grease up to NLGI grade 2 with 24 VDC or 230/400 VAC power supplies.

Progressive lubrication loops on stamping presses and machining centers frequently utilize electric G3 pumps and modular pneumatic Modu-Flo actuators.

Circulating oil networks rely on Meterflo gear pump units delivering 147 to 4000 cm³/min at pressures up to 103 bar, whereas long-distance dual-line networks employ heavy-duty pneumatic drum pumps equipped with integrated grease return lines.

Single-line and dual-line lubrication networks: from machine tools to steel rolling mills

TTV single-line lubrication systems operate through cyclic pressure buildup and relief within the main supply line.

Piston metering distributors across groups 3200, 3400, 3500, and 3900 dispense mineral and synthetic oils with viscosities from 32 to 2000 mm²/s (0.01 to 1.5 cm³), while groups 3210, 3310, 3410, 3510, and 3910 handle fluid greases of NLGI grades 000 and 00 (0.01 to 0.3 cm³) driven by EPA and EPA-F gear pumps.

Dual-line systems are engineered for heavy industrial plants with hundreds of lubrication points and long piping runs, including steel rolling mills, cement kilns, sugar refineries, and open-pit mining equipment.

Monoblock dividers across TTZV 100 (0.3 to 1.5 cm³), TTZV-C (2.5 to 15 cm³), TTSG (0.0 to 2.2 cm³), and TTKV-100 (0.0 to 1.5 cm³) come in carbon, nickel-plated, or stainless steel bodies.

Specialized solutions: OPCO chain lubrication, Sentinel compressor systems, and Pulsarlube

Conveyor chains operating inside paint curing ovens, industrial bakeries, and washing tunnels suffer from abrasive wear and thermal expansion. OPCO chain maintenance units combine mechanical brush cleaning with precise oil injection directly into chain pins and rollers during motion.

For reciprocating gas and air compressors, TTV engineers the Sentinel system featuring centralized pressure monitoring for every lubrication point.

Where hard piping is impractical, standalone friction points are protected by Pulsarlube single-point automatic lubricators.

Models M, ML500, and OL500 incorporate a vertical micropump, gearmotor, and microprocessor with an LCD screen offering dispensing cycles from 0.5 to 24 months using replaceable grease pouches and battery packs, while the Pulsarlube EX series serves hazardous Class I Division 2 environments.

High-pressure filtration up to 517 bar, LubeMeter monitoring, and nameplate part identification

Protecting precision divider spools from solid particulates requires simplex and duplex high-pressure filters rated up to 517 bar with electrical clogging indicators and replaceable elements of 10, 25, 90, or 149 microns.

For independent verification of actual grease volume delivered to critical bearings, TTV integrates the LubeMeter monitoring system alongside pre-programmed LOGO 24RC electronic controllers.

When requesting replacement dividers, pump assemblies, or seal kits for TTV - Zentralschmiertechnik systems, provide the markings stamped on the existing unit: the Trabon series and displacement code (such as MSP, MXP, or MGO), the dual-line block model (TTZV or TTSG), the single-line metering group (3200 to 3910), the EZP or EPA pump voltage, or the part number of the Adams Lube Tech or Trico constant level oiler.
