In a method of greasing a decanter centrifuge, each beating of the decanter centrifuge is located in a bearing housing and at least one bearing housing has a grease flow meter. The grease flow meter is connected to a control unit. The method includes generating a greasing operation when the operating time of the decanter centrifuge is equal to or exceeds a specific time interval between greasing operations. The greasing operation includes generating a start signal in the control unit, measuring an amount of grease injected into the bearing housing by using the flow meter, and generating a stop signal in the control unit when the amount of grease injected into the bearing housing is equal to or exceeds a specific amount of grease to be injected at each greasing operation.
