Abstract:
A system generally including a delivery module and metering modules adapted to deliver grease to process valves. The metering modules each include a grease metering device including either: a grease cylinder, a piston extending within the grease cylinder, and a first actuator; or a casing, a rotor extending within the casing, and a second actuator. The delivery module includes a grease container and a fluid transport device adapted to deliver grease from the grease container to the grease metering modules. A control unit is adapted to control: the first actuator(s) to stroke the piston(s) within the grease cylinder(s) so that respective amounts of the delivered grease are metered to the process valves; and/or the second actuator(s) to rotate the rotor(s) within the casing(s) so that the respective amounts of the delivered grease are metered to the process valves.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 9 , further comprising:\n delivering grease to a second grease metering device, the second grease metering device comprising either:\n a second grease cylinder, a second piston extending at least partially within the second grease cylinder, and a third actuator operably associated with the second piston; or \n a second casing, a second rotor extending at least partially within the second casing, and a fourth actuator operably associated with the second rotor; \n and controlling, using the control unit, either:\n the third actuator to stroke the second piston back and forth within the second grease cylinder so that a second amount of the delivered grease is metered to a second process valve; or \n the fourth actuator to rotate the second rotor within the second casing so that the second amount of the delivered grease is metered to the second process valve.
