German term

Nachschmierleitungen

German to English Tech/Engineering Printing & Publishing Lubrication of Printing Presses
"In modernen Schmiersystemen wird das Frischfett direkt über ***Nachschmierleitungen*** gepresst und ersetzt das verbrauchte Fett, das in konstruktiv vorgesehene Depots abfließen kann. Die erforderliche Nachschmiermenge ist von der Geometrie und Bauform der zu schmierenden Lagereinheiten abhängig."

From a text about the lubrication of printing presses. I can't find a translation for "Nachschmierleitung" (or just Schmierleitung, for that matter) anywhere. I can work out that it's relubrication something, but just can't put my finger on the meaning of Leitung here. TIA for your help.

relubrication/regreasing lines

Not many hits to back this up but at least one trustworthy source:
http://www.engineeringtalk.com/news/klu/klu133.html
("Dry lubricants can be used for extreme operating conditions. They eliminate the risk of oil or grease leakage involved in wet lubrication and make ***relubrication lines*** unnecessary. Lifetime lubrication can be attained and running-in behaviour improved.")

"regreasing lines" might be another option - see
http://www.dodge-pt.com/international/ pdf/instr_manual/ma_013_e.pdf
("At each regreasing cycle,(See Table 3 ) for applications up to 80% of maximum RPM slowly add greaseuntil fresh grease is seen purging at the seals or at the grease drain hole. Regreasing must be donewhile the bearings are rotating at the application RPM. Remote ***regreasing lines*** should be added to avoid endangering personnel.")

... although I'm inclined to think that "lubrication lines" might suffice.

central lubrication system

Bielomatik is a known provider of these systems to the industry
Peer comment(s):

neutral Steffen Walter : They would have used "Zentralschmierung" in the German if this were meant.

I know that this is both suitable for process factories (automatic system for a whole plant, often oil) as for a printers (bush bearings with grease, often manual action on a handle)
