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 20):
The system of  claim 17 , wherein the first grease metering device further includes a first cycle counter adapted to count the strokes of the piston;\n wherein the second grease metering device further includes a second cycle counter adapted to count the rotations of the rotor; and wherein, to meter the respective amounts to the process valves, the control unit is further adapted to either:\n control the first actuator(s) to start stroking the piston(s), determine how many strokes are required for the piston(s) to meter the respective amounts to the process valves, and control the first actuator(s) to stop stroking the piston(s) when the strokes counted by the first cycle counter(s) equal the determined number of strokes required; or \n control the second actuator(s) to start rotating the rotor(s), determine how many rotations are required for the rotor(s) to meter the respective amounts to the process valves, and control the second actuator(s) to stop rotating the rotor(s) when the rotations counted by the second cycle counter(s) equal the determined number of rotations required.
