LUBRICATION SYSTEMS

We have extensive experience in the design, manufacture & installation of automatic lubrication systems for a wide range of applications:

Total Loss Oil Lubrication - Used in a large range of applications, total loss oil lubrication involves the creation of a thin film of oil between moving parts which is renewed automatically at regular intervals. We offer a range of standard & custom-built systems based around electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic pump packages.

Continuous Oil Re-Circulation - Oil re-circulation systems provide a continuous flow of oil to the lubrication point. The fast change-over of lubricant removes heat which allows increases in machine speed & performance as well as prolonging bearing life. The pumping station is equipped with cooling, heating, & instrumentation to maintain the lubricant at optimal temperature. Sophisticated flow control devices ensure consistent monitoring of the lubricant supply.

Air/Oil Lubrication - Air/Oil Lubrication systems is a relatively recent technology that is increasingly replacing environmentally unfriendly "mist systems". Oil is injected at regular intervals into the continuous air stream & coats the surfaces to be lubricated, thus reducing friction & wear. The air stream not only transports the oil to the lubrication point but also provides cooling. Such systems, which are often fitted with electronic feedback, provide a precise, clean, & economical way to apply lubricant to machine tools, bearings, gears, spindles, chains, & conveyors.

Grease Lubrication - Grease lubrication has a wide variety of applications ranging from woodworking machinery to steel plants & paper mills. We offer a large selection of pump packages together with many custom design options allowing any automatic greasing application to be developed reliably & cost-effectively. The modular design allows easy configuration & expandability of the grease distribution & monitoring system. Active components can be removed & substituted during maintenance without the need to disrupt interconnecting pipe-work.

Re-circulating Oil Pumping Units - Usually custom-designed, these units pump oil to bearings or gears to lubricate, remove heat, & purge them of wear debris. This results in extended bearing or gear life, reduced plant shutdown, & increased oil change intervals. Flow rates range from 5 to 800 litres per minute though most tend to be at the higher end of that scale where they are used in heavy industrial applications. Because such plant often runs 24 hours a day throughout the year we use only high quality proven components in the manufacture of these units.
