Adelio Lattuada developed a progressive lubrication system for its machinery. In a progressive system the lubricant is pumped into a single input of a “progressive distributor” and is volumetrically divided into a number of points by the progressive movement of the pistons arranged in sequence. The system allows users to have more control over the correct operation of the entire system and individual outlet points, not just the oil level and the correct operation of the pump, say officials.
