INDUSTRIAL IN-PLANT
Overview
The variety of Industrial in-plant lubrication applications are as varied as is the equipment available to accomplish the task. Drip oilers, oil cans, and hand operated grease guns are disappearing; and so are the maintenance personnel to perform these routine jobs. With leaner operations comes the need to automate as much of the lubrication process as possible, which frees up severely limited manpower.
Key Components
Lubrication pumps offer the greatest variety among lube system components
Pumps get the lubricant supply from original pails, kegs, drums, or multiple sizes of self-contained reservoirs
Hand, Air, AC/DC or hydraulic operated pumps
Built-in: controllers, feedback monitoring, pressure switches/transducers, low level sensors
Single Stroke, reciprocating, and rotary driven - for the widest range of lubricant delivery
Single and multi-point lubricators with built in timers, pre-filled or fillable reservoirs
Metering Devices
Positive displacement divider blocks – modular/segmented or traditional style; single-line progressive or dual line; carbon steel or stainless steel construction
Single-line injectors – wide range of lubricant displacement; multiple size injectors used in the same circuit; carbon steel or stainless steel construction
Value
Optimized oil consumption & minimized effects of lubricant downstream
Design, manufacturing, testing, installation and maintenance expertise
Quality components means repeatable performance and long service life
Examples
Natural Gas compressors – separable and integral machines in Natural Gas Production & Transmission
Process gas compressors in Petro-Chemical Plants & Refineries
Fuel gas compressors feeding gas turbines
Air compressors in Heavy Manufacturing Facilities
