A lubricant container is a technical component for holding, storing and, if necessary, dispensing lubricants such as oils or greases. The design of the container varies in terms of size, material and construction depending on the area of application, medium and requirements in terms of pressure, temperature and hygiene.
In centralised lubrication systems, the container serves as a storage tank for downstream metering and delivery units. In decentralised applications, it is often designed as an integrated component of machines, for example as a cartridge.
The lubricant container must be resistant to external influences such as moisture, dust and temperature fluctuations, and must be easy to fill, empty and clean. Sight windows, level indicators and sensors are used to monitor the lubricant supply. Selecting a suitable container is important for a reliable and efficient lubricant supply and has a direct impact on maintenance intervals, operational safety and the environmental compatibility of the system.
